Article Abstract
Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with the hepatitis B vaccine (HBVac) in combination with HBV immunoglobulins (HBIG) significantly minimizes the odds of vertical transmission of HBV to newborn infants. In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the compliance and efficacy of PEP in a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia. Infants were tested with HBV serological markers at 7 months of age to assess their PEP protection rate. Out of 13,125 mothers who delivered in KAMC, 105 (0.8%) mothers were found to have HBsAg positive, with a prevalence of 8 per 1000 live births. All infants (n = 100) completed their PEP as per protocol before discharge from the hospital (2 days after delivery). Among infants (n = 59; 56.2%) who were tested at 7 months of age, all (100%) were found to be negative for HBV. PEP achieved 100% efficacy among infants who complied with the study protocol at 7 months of follow-up. The prevalence of hepatitis B among pregnant women was 8 per 1000 live births.

This study evaluates the clinical presentation, surgical management, and outcomes of silent sinus syndrome (SSS), with emphasis on the efficacy of simultaneous sinus and orbital surgery. A retrospective review was performed of 35 patients diagnosed with SSS at a tertiary care center between January 2004 and April 2024. All patients had radiographic evidence of maxillary sinus atelectasis and orbital floor resorption.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health concern globally, and Pakistan is no exception. The misuse and overuse of antibiotics, inadequate regulation of their sale, and a lack of awareness contribute to the rising levels of AMR in the country. study presents a detailed analysis of blood and urine samples collected in Pakistan over various periods, focusing on pathogen prevalence, gender distribution, and age-wise patterns.

Polar protic and aprotic solvents can effectively simulate the maturation of breast carcinoma cells. Herein, the influence of polar protic solvents (water and ethanol) and aprotic solvents (acetone and DMSO) on the properties of 3-(dimethylaminomethyl)-5-nitroindole (DAMNI) was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) computations. Thermodynamic parameters retrieved from the vibrational analysis indicated that the DAMNI's entropy, heat capacity, and enthalpy increased with rising temperature.

In view of Corona pandemic, scientists have taken significant efforts to study and recognize the peculiarities of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in order to prevent it from spreading. It was discovered that the virus is spreading in many places and nations that have made significant progress in addressing environmental pollution or are not subject to dusty storms. Infections are growing again in the same country, with varied densities of sick persons depending on the weather and windy season.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy involves the use of low-dose, nonionizing light to reduce pain and inflammation, promote wound healing, and enhance tissue regeneration. PBM-based therapy of various dental conditions is associated with improved treatment outcomes. This study aims to critically review the literature to highlight the underlying molecular biological mechanisms and clinical applications of PBM in modern dental practice.
