Abstract
Background: Supralevator abscesses make up to 9% of all cryptoglandular abscesses. Given that platelet-rich fibrin accelerates tissue growth and reduces infection, it seems necessary to investigate its effect on the healing of fistula wounds because it can accelerate the healing of morbid wounds and reduce its effect on recurrence.
Methods: The study was performed as a single-blind clinical trial in patients who were referred to the surgical clinic of Rasoul Akram Hospital (PBUH), with the approval of the supralevator collection. Before surgery, Wexner Score were identified in patients who underwent surgery, and the entire path of fistulas and cavities was identified. Clinical outcomes were monitored one day after surgery for up to two months once a week, then every month until complete recovery, and then six months after surgery. After the operation, the patients were examined for recurrence, until the PRF was absorbed, the dressing of the operation site was performed only with normal saline, and the patients were on a low-residue diet so that they could not excrete as much as possible.
Results: 10 people participated in the final analysis. The mean age of patients was 33.20 years (26-46 years). Three patients had a history of perianal abscess surgery, two patients had a history of fistula surgery and 1 patient had a history of Fisher surgery. The mean closing time of the cavity was 14.2 days (10-22 days). Two patients (20%) had a fever and two patients (20%) had a surgical site infection. Bleeding and recurrence were not observed in any of the patients. The mean preoperative Wexner score was 0.80±0.76 Which decreased to 0.68±0.50 postoperatively (P=0.045).
Conclusion: Finally, the findings of the study showed that the use of PRF to repair a complex fistula is a method that can be easily repeated with minimal side effects and can heal wounds caused by fistulas with supralevator collection. This treatment can play an important role in the treatment of complex fistulas that have moderate or extensive involvement with the sphincter, or the occurrence of fistulas with sphincter dysfunction.

 

Comparative study of the effect of neurotec vs gabapentin on sensory symptoms of patients with diabetic neuropathy

Volume 81, Issue 3 (June 2023)
Abstract
Background: Diabetes is the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy throughout the world and has negative impact on patient's quality of life. There is no cure and to date several drugs have been used for its symptomatic treatment, including antidepressants and antiepileptics. Neurotec is a herbal medicine (combination of wild star anise, nettle and tansy) that can be potentially effective in the treatment of this disorder. Proposed mechanisms include its effects on increasing nerve conduction velocity and repairing peripheral nerves.
Methods: In a single-blind randomized clinical trial from April to September 2018 in Kermanshah of patients referred to Taleghani Hospital Clinic, 100 diabetic patients with sensory complaints, were randomly divided into two groups. The first group received 100 to 300 mg gabapentin (a well-known effective antiepileptic drug) daily and the second group received 100 mg Neurotec daily. At the beginning of the study and at the weeks of 6 and 12, patients were evaluated with DN4 questionnaire and the visual analog scale (VAS) for severity of sensory symptoms including paresthesia and numbness and the results were compared and analyzed. In each serial visit, possible drug side effects were asked from patients and recorded.
Results: Neurotec reduced the feeling of coldness, pain, paresthesia and numbness VAS and DN4 scores (P of 0.01,0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.001, 0.05 respectively). Neurotec showed a significant advantage over gabapentin in reducing pain intensity and in other parameters the difference between the two groups was not significant. The only significant complication of Neurotec was dyspepsia that could be minimal in patients who receive the drug after a meal. Conversely in the gabapentin group, dizziness, drowsiness, and vertigo were significantly more common (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Neurotec can be useful for sensory symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. Its effect on symptomatic therapy is comparable to gabapentin or even better for painful diabetic neuropathies. Its proposed mechanism in neuronal repair needs to be evaluated and can be a potential advantage over symptomatic therapies. Neurotic has no serious side effects.
