This document summarizes a new study assessing oral complications in patients with systemic sclerosis. The study evaluated 51 systemic sclerosis patients using the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHiSS) scale and measured the distance between their front teeth. It found the average MHiSS score was 24.73, and the average inter-incisor distance was 29.65mm. Disease duration since the onset of Raynaud's phenomenon correlated significantly with increased mouth handicapping. The results indicate oral examinations and the MHiSS scale can help evaluate oral abnormalities that are common and impact quality of life in systemic sclerosis patients.

Role of microbes in csom
This document summarizes a case series study on the role of microbes in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) - atticoantral disease. The study included 50 CSOM patients who underwent ear swab cultures before surgery and specimen cultures during surgery. Pseudomonas species and Staphylococcus were found to be the most common microorganisms in both preoperative and operative samples. The samples collected preoperatively and during surgery were found to be similar in over 80% of cases. The study aimed to explore relationships between preoperative cultures and intraoperative specimens in CSOM.

Middle ear infection, also known as otitis media, is an inflammation of the middle ear that can cause symptoms like fever, fussiness, ear pulling, and nausea. Risk factors include being a male child under 5 years old, use of pacifiers, and exposure to tobacco smoke. Diagnosis involves examining the ear with an otoscope and tests like a CBC or ear drainage culture. Treatment consists of antibiotics, analgesics, ear irrigation, or occasionally surgery along with patient education on prevention.
Osteomyelitis investigation profile
This document discusses the investigation profile for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. It notes that C-reactive protein levels and bacterial cultures from aspirated bone or tissue are important for diagnosis. Imaging plays a key role as well, with X-rays able to detect bone changes within a few days while MRI is most sensitive for detecting early bone marrow changes. The presentation reviews the typical findings and timeline of changes seen on various imaging modalities in the evaluation of acute osteomyelitis.
Jude Fabiano - Beyond Tooth Decay
Most people out there are aware that poor dental hygiene can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. However, poor dental hygiene goes far beyond that. I recently came across an article that outlined some of the other, less-expected health conditions that are affected by poor dental health.
Sjogren syndrome by aseem
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the exocrine glands, most commonly the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth. It exists as either a primary form that occurs alone or a secondary form associated with other connective tissue diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth along with tests like salivary gland biopsy, salivary flow tests, and lab tests for autoantibodies. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms while complications can involve other organ systems.

This study evaluated 85 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue, comparing 11 patients younger than 30 years old to 74 older patients. The younger patients presented with more advanced nodal stage disease and higher rates of perineural invasion. Younger patients also experienced treatment failure more often, though 5-year disease-free and overall survival did not significantly differ between the groups. Advanced T stage and lymph node involvement were associated with worse disease-specific survival outcomes. This study suggests younger patients may present differently but have similar long-term survival for oral tongue cancer.

Study of tenwek esophageal squamous dysplasia prevalence by michael mwachiro ...
The STEP study aimed to determine the prevalence of esophageal squamous dysplasia (ESD) in the Tenwek Hospital catchment area in Kenya. 305 asymptomatic adults underwent endoscopy with biopsy. The prevalence of ESD was 14%, higher than a previous study. Risk factors for ESD included living in certain locations, alcohol consumption, and older age. Unstained lesions on endoscopy had low sensitivity (68%) for detecting dysplasia, though high specificity (53%) and negative predictive value (94%). The results suggest screening for ESD may help prevent esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in this high-risk region.
Early and late onset multiple sclerosis
This presentation reviews clinical features, long term outcome and treatment of early and late onset multiple sclerosis.
Nosrati E et al
This study evaluated the gingival health of 25 pediatric cardiac patients compared to 25 healthy children. The cardiac patients had significantly higher levels of gingivitis, plaque, calculus, and gingival recession. Among the cardiac groups of ventricular septal defect, aortic valve stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta, there were no significant differences in gingivitis, plaque, or recession. The results indicate pediatric cardiac patients have higher rates of periodontal disease and their oral health should be closely monitored.
Furlw vs 2 flap on ET function.pptx
This study compared the effects of the modified Furlow palatoplasty technique versus the two-flap palatoplasty technique on ear function and hearing outcomes in 72 cleft palate patients over one year. The results found that at three months post-operation, the modified Furlow group had significantly lower middle ear effusion and acute otitis media rates compared to the two-flap group. However, the differences between groups were not statistically significant at other follow-up periods of one month, six months, and one year.
Gums and hearts
This document discusses the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease. It begins by introducing periodontal disease and its prevalence. It then discusses how periodontal disease has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease through several pathways. Specifically, periodontal bacteria and the body's inflammatory response can promote the development of atherosclerosis. Treating periodontal disease through approaches like scaling, root planing, surgery and daily antiseptics has been shown to reduce systemic inflammation and improve endothelial function, thereby reducing cardiovascular risk. The document concludes that preventing and treating periodontal disease can help lower the risk of cardiovascular problems.
Keloid scars
This document summarizes a study on the natural history and spontaneous resolution of keloid scars. The study followed 34 patients with 126 keloid scars over several years. It found that some keloid scars can resolve spontaneously, especially early in the disease course. Resolution often occurred within the first 5 years. The study provides useful prognostic information for patients and a baseline for future research on keloid scar treatment. However, questions remain about what causes some keloids to resolve spontaneously while others do not.

Oral diagnostics - Focal infection .pptx
This document discusses the relationship between oral inflammatory diseases and systemic conditions. It begins with the historical background of this topic dating back to ancient Greece. It then defines key terms like "focal infection" and describes the pathogenesis of oral diseases like periodontitis. Periodontitis involves a polymicrobial biofilm that triggers an inflammatory host response. This systemic inflammation can influence distant target tissues through mechanisms like bacteremia, circulating inflammatory mediators, immune cell trafficking, and trained myelopoiesis. Specific oral diseases discussed that may impact systemic health include periodontitis and apical periodontitis. Target tissues discussed that may be affected include the cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems.
Systemic sclerosis by kanwal fatima
This document discusses systemic sclerosis, also known as scleroderma. It begins with an introduction defining scleroderma as a chronic autoimmune disease affecting connective tissues, characterized by thickened skin. The etiology is unknown.
It then describes the main clinical features of scleroderma, which can be remembered using the mnemonic "CREST" - calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia. Scleroderma can affect multiple organs and cause difficulties with eating, swallowing, and reduced mouth opening.
The document outlines the different types of scleroderma, epidemiology, pathology,
Trends in oral cancer detection
This document summarizes current diagnostic methods for oral cancer. It discusses visual oral examination and biopsy as current standards but notes limitations. Several novel diagnostic technologies are emerging, including vital staining with toluidine blue or Lugol's iodine, oral cytology using exfoliated cells, and optical imaging technologies using autofluorescence, chemiluminescence or multispectral analysis. New diagnostic methods under development include DNA methylation biomarkers like ZNF582 and PAX1 and mRNA biomarkers like OAZ1, SAT and DUSP1 which show promise as adjunct tests to improve early detection of oral cancer.
Scleroderma in children and young people
This document summarizes information about scleroderma in children and young people. It discusses the different subtypes of juvenile scleroderma, including localized scleroderma (morphea) and systemic sclerosis. Localized scleroderma is more common than systemic sclerosis. The document reviews epidemiological data on incidence rates and clinical manifestations. It also discusses disease assessment, treatments such as methotrexate for localized scleroderma, and outcomes. Prognosis is generally better for juvenile scleroderma compared to adult-onset disease, but internal organ involvement can still lead to mortality in severe cases. The document advocates for more collaborative research to improve understanding and treatment of scleroderma in children
Eruption cyst
This study describes 66 eruption cyst cases in 53 pediatric patients seen at 3 dental centers in Turkey between 2014-2015. The average patient age was 5.4 years. More than half of the cysts were located in the maxilla and most commonly associated with the maxillary first primary molars. Multiple cysts occurred in 13 patients. The majority of cysts (86.8%) were asymptomatic and required no treatment, allowing the teeth to erupt spontaneously in 2 months on average. For the 7 symptomatic cysts that caused pain, surgical excision was performed to drain the cysts' contents and facilitate tooth eruption within weeks.
Stem cells and amniotic membrane
This document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that tested a new treatment for chronic leg ulcers using amniotic membrane and mesenchymal stem cells. Thirty-seven patients with chronic leg ulcers were randomly assigned to two groups. The first group received injections of autologous mesenchymal stem cells into the ulcer bed and edges. The second group received stem cell injections and placement of amniotic membrane over the ulcer. Both groups showed improved healing, but the second group saw significantly faster reduction in ulcer size and healing rates. An extension of the study found that amniotic membrane alone also promoted rapid healing of leg ulcers. The findings suggest amniotic membrane is a promising bio-therapeutic product that can
sialoendoscopy.pptx say about salivary gland
1) The document summarizes a study examining the outcomes of using sialendoscopy to manage salivary gland diseases at a university hospital.
2) Sialendoscopy was performed on 61 patients with 76 involved salivary glands over a 3.5 year period.
3) Pathology was identified in 90.8% of glands and the most common finding was ductal stenosis.
4) The procedure achieved complete symptom relief in 77.6% of glands initially and 96.7% at last follow up, with no reported complications.
The Role of Mutations on Gene TCOF1, in Treacher Collins Syndrome
Jaw hypoplasia, lower eyelid disorders, down-slanted or anti-mongoloid eyelid cleft palate, and cleft palate in the zygomatic arch are the most common findings. Lower eyelid colboma is usually found on the outer third of the eyelid, and the lower eyelid cilia are usually either completely absent or incomplete on the inside of the eyelid. Gaps in the zygomatic arch cause sunken species.
The Role of Mutations on Gene TCOF1, in Treacher Collins Syndrome
Jaw hypoplasia, lower eyelid disorders, down-slanted or anti-mongoloid eyelid cleft palate, and cleft palate in the zygomatic arch are the most common findings. Lower eyelid colboma is usually found on the outer third of the eyelid, and the lower eyelid cilia are usually either completely absent or incomplete on the inside of the eyelid. Gaps in the zygomatic arch cause sunken species. The lower jaw is extremely small and can be easily identified from the face, but sometimes radiography is needed for diagnosis. The ramus branch of the mandibular bone may be incomplete and the coronoid and condylar appendages may be flat or absent. Problems around the ears and cheeks and cleft palate are other symptoms of the syndrome. Ear disorders are another finding of the disease that affects all three parts of the ear (outer, middle and inner). Transient hearing loss occurs in 25 to 50% of patients, mainly due to hypoplasia of the external ear canal and middle ear bones.

The study examined 355 patients with osteoporosis to identify drug-related problems. Patients who experienced osteoporotic fractures (58.6% of participants) were significantly less adherent to therapy, less physically active, and had poorer nutrition than patients without fractures. Non-adherence was linked to adverse effects, doubts about treatment effectiveness and safety, and underestimating the consequences of osteoporosis. Educational programs could help address patients' concerns and improve adherence to reduce fracture risk.
Is there a relation between sudden
1) The study assessed the relationship between sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and white matter lesions visible on brain MRI, known as cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
2) Results showed that individuals with SSNHL aged 48-60 years have a 26% higher probability of having a Fazekas score indicating CSVD compared to the general population. Those under 28 years showed a statistically significant negative correlation.
3) Higher Fazekas scores, indicating more severe CSVD, were related to a decreased probability of hearing recovery in patients with SSNHL. The probability of recovery decreased from 80% in those under 48 with no lesions, to 14% in those with the most

This study aimed to identify clinical and anthropometric risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in Bangladeshi adults. A total of 190 subjects were included in the study, with 65 cases of OSAHS and 125 controls without OSAHS. Habitual snoring, excessive daytime somnolence, witnessed apnea, choking, and feeling unrefreshed after sleep were more common in OSAHS cases. Obesity measures like BMI, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and neck circumference were higher in OSAHS cases. Hypertension was also more prevalent in OSAHS cases. Logistic regression identified age over 46, increased waist circumference, higher education, witnessed apnea and

This case report describes a 67-year old female patient who presented with speech disorders, signs of extrapyramidal syndrome including bradykinesia and rigidity. MRI showed a stroke in the right basal ganglia. Over time, her symptoms progressed to include dysarthria, inability to move her eyes vertically, falls, and instability. A follow-up MRI showed atrophy of the midbrain, suggesting a diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare neurodegenerative tauopathy. While PSP typically progresses slowly over years, this case was unusual in that symptoms intensified rapidly following the basal ganglia stroke, making the diagnosis more challenging.

This document discusses seasonal influenza in Poland from 2010-2016. It finds that total influenza incidence increased over this period, with the exception of a small decrease in 2014. Influenza incidence is about 2.9-3.25 times higher among children compared to the total population. While influenza incidence and cases increased from 2010-2014, the number of deaths due to influenza did not show an upward trend. The Pomorskie Voivodeship generally had the highest influenza incidence, while Podkarpackie and Lubuskie Voivodeships tended to have the lowest. Influenza follows a typical seasonal pattern with the highest cases in March and lowest in August. Poland has a very low influenza vaccination rate of 3.7% among the general population

This case report describes a 76-year-old male patient diagnosed with Marine-Lenhart syndrome. The patient had a history of Graves' disease treated with antithyroid drugs. Tests showed suppressed TSH levels and the patient was referred to an endocrinology department. Exams including ultrasound and scintigraphy revealed the patient had Graves' disease along with a hyperactive nodule in the thyroid, consistent with Marine-Lenhart syndrome. The patient was treated with antithyroid drugs followed by radioactive iodine therapy. Follow up showed improvement of hyperthyroidism symptoms. Marine-Lenhart syndrome is a rare cause of hyperthyroidism where a patient has Graves' disease concurrently with a hyperfunctional thyroid nodule.

This document discusses radiation protection for patients and medical staff during treatment of thyroid conditions with radioactive iodine (I-131). It provides guidelines for ensuring safety, including justifying every administered dose, calculating appropriate individual doses, and choosing radionuclides that deliver lower activities. It also addresses protecting medical staff by minimizing time spent near patients, maximizing distance and barriers, and using personal dosimeters. The conclusion is that radioiodine treatment can be relatively safe when proper safety procedures, training, and nuclear medicine laboratory organization are followed.

A 55-year-old woman experienced her first syncope incident while on holiday abroad. Tests including CT scans of her chest, abdomen, and mammography did not reveal any abnormalities. An MRI of her head showed a lesion with edema in her left frontal lobe, which was later confirmed to be a brain tumor after she returned to Poland. She underwent a craniotomy to resect the tumor, and a biopsy revealed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). After the operation, she received chemotherapy with Temodal and radiotherapy. Follow-up MRIs did not show any new metastases. GBM remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality from brain tumors, but interdisciplinary therapy can prolong survival time after surgery.

This study evaluated Polish medical students' attitudes towards simulation-based training. 204 fourth and fifth year medical students completed a survey on their satisfaction with and views on simulation-based learning. Results showed students found simulation-based learning a useful strategy that improved skills and helped apply knowledge, with 86% finding it developed clinical decision-making. Students reported being more stressed during initial simulations but less so in later ones. Most felt the debriefing component was most important and preferred playing the role of doctor during simulations. Students believed mistakes made during simulations would help them avoid similar errors in the future.Ріга А.,Бойко В.В.-Різні підходи до застосування антибактеріальної терапії пр...

Simulation-based training is a useful method for medical education that allows students to develop skills through artificial scenarios. A survey of 122 fourth and fifth year medical students found they were highly satisfied with simulation-based learning and felt it improved their clinical decision making and psychomotor skills. Students reported the most stressful parts were monitor alarms, decreasing oxygen saturation, and relatives in panic. Debriefing after simulations was cited as the most important part. While making mistakes caused stress, students felt it would prevent future errors. The main challenges were a lack of cooperation and problems dosing drugs in simulations. In conclusion, simulation-based training is a valuable supplement to traditional education that improves communication and prepares students for clinical practice.More from BukovynianMedicalSociety (11)

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Histololgy of Female Reproductive System.pptx

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

- 2. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) • Generalized disorder characterized by skin and internal organ fibrosis associated with vascular abnormalities and autoimmune phenomena • The disease is typically seen in people 30 to 50 years old, but it can be diagnosed at any age. Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with this condition.
- 3. • Diffuse systemic sclerosis covers more of the skin, and is at risk of progressing to the visceral organs, including the kidneys, heart, lungs and gastrointestinal tract. • Abnormalities are shown in all parts of the alimentary tract • Oral manifestations and the lip thickness significantly affect quality of life of the patients Systemic sclerosis (SSc)
- 5. Methods • Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHiSS) scale • Distance between the nearest parts of the incisors in the sagittal plane
- 6. Patients • Investigated 51 SSc patients (36 women, 15 men) • Medium age: F-58 M-49
- 7. kwestonariusz Mouth opening items: 1,3,4,5,6 Mouth dryness: 2,7,8,9,10 Esthetic concerns: 11,12 Total scale score ranges from 0 to 48
- 9. Results • The mean result of the MHiSS scale was 24,73 M –20,67 F – 26,58
- 11. Results • Mean distance between incisors was 29,65mm M – 34,2 mm F – 27,75 mm
- 12. Results • Period from appearance of Raynaud’s phenomenon was 5,98 years (men – 2,2 years, women 7,56 years) • Period from appearance of other symptoms than Raynaud’s phenomenon (usually skin hardening) was 5.82 years (men – 2 years, women 7,42 years).
- 13. Results • Oral abnormalities are common and significant • There was a statistical correlation between disease duration (from onset of Raynaud’s phenomenon) and the mouth handicapping p<0,01
- 14. p<0,01
- 15. Conclusion • Oral abnormalities are common and significant • The obtained results indicate the need for more detailed examination of the oral cavity in SSc patients and application of the MHiSS scale may serve a useful tool for this purpose.
