AbstractThe purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness, safety and pregnancy outcomes of misoprostol (PGE1) to dinoprostone (PGE2) in the induction of term pregnancies. A retrospective observational study was conducted on two research group, the first induced with PGE1 and another with PGE2. The medical documentation of the Hospital for Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical-Hospital Centre Zvezdara was used. There was a total of 171 pregnant women hospitalized for elective or planned labor induction. PGE1 and PGE2 were administered vaginally (50 ?g PGE1, 3mg PGE2), with a cardiotocography repeated every two hours. If there was a need, inductions were continued at the maximum daily dose of 150 ?g PGE1 and 6 mg PGE2. The induction of term pregnancies with PGE1 was almost equally effective and safe as the induction with PGE2 if the clinical protocol was adequately followed. Apgar score at 5 minutes after birth was statistically higher in the group of PGE1 induced pregnant women compared to PGE2 induced. Further high-quality studies assessing the possible effectiveness of PGE1 and PGE2 in selected groups of patients are a priority in order to reduce complications in both pregnant women and infants.Keywords: misoprostol, dinoprostol, PGE1, PGE2, induction of labor, Apgar score
The aim of this work is to highlight the physico-chemical characteristics of the soils of the El Hadjar plain, wilaya of Annaba (north-east Algeria), and the evolution and dynamics of exist in gorganic matter. In order to know the soil properties of the El Hadjar-Annaba plain, we basedon a systematic sampling plan. The physico-chemical parameters analysed made it possible to define the soil characteristics, namely the pH which is slightly alkaline with a clay-silty texture, the electrical conductivity which is moderate and a limestone level which means that the soils in our study area are moderately calcareous. The results of the fractionation of the organic matter highlight the fragile aspect of the rapid mineralization of this organic matter with the absence of poly condensation products with a low degree of relative polymerization. This situation suggests strict control of organic matter inputs to soils in this region.
Background: Platelet-rich fibrin is a second-generation platelet concentrate obtained through a technique that allows precipitating a platelet segment from a peripheral blood sample. PRF is widely used to improve bone regeneration processes. Objective: To present a method article where socket preservation was accomplished by the combination of local socket detoxification with Tetracycline; PRF and bone grafts, for bone regeneration. Methods: Method article where 10 patients underwent dental extractions. The socket preservation was performed with Tetracycline and the combined use of PRF with heterologous bone. Results: It was possible to obtain PRF membranes of excellent quality out of the intervened patients, which led to adequate bone preservation in 80% of the sockets. Conclusion: By using the presented method, it was possible to preserve on average 80% of the alveolar bone.
