  Sudden Maternal Death from Suspected Amniotic Fluid Embolism and a Dead Baby Delivered with Natal Teeth

summary:
  Previously, natal teeth have been classified as mature teeth showing complete development with moderately good prognosis or immature showing incomplete formation and poor prognosis.7 Other classifications have categorized natal teeth into four classes: (i) shell shaped crown with poor attachment to the alveolus by gingival tissue and the lack of a root; (ii) solid crown with poor attachment to the alveolus by gingival tissue and small or absent root; (iii) incisal margin of the crown erupted through gingival tissue and (iv) un- erupted with edematous gingival tissue but We also present a rare finding of natal teeth in her deceased baby, which along with reported AFE in the mother, is an unlikely event in the medical literature.

  Post-procedural Drainage versus no Drainage in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy at DHQ Hospital Charsadda, Pakistan

summary:
  This procedure proves to be less invasive management of gallstones than open cholecystectomy, thus leading to faster recovery and few postoperative complications.1-5 To prevent bile or blood collection that might become infected, post-operative drains have been routinely placed by many surgeons to avoid any further interventional procedures. Another reason for drainage is to allow carbon dioxide used for insufflation during laparoscopy, leave via drain site leading to decreased shoulder pain and post- operative nausea and vomiting.3-6 However, some surgeons believe that the use of drains only increases the wound infection rate by 2%.3 In a randomized controlled trial, Tzovaras and colleagues also assessed the usefulness of drains in elective LC, so this issue is still generating a significant debate.7 This clinical study was designed to find out whether the placement of post-operative drain was valuable or not with regards to post-operative outcomes and complications.

  Comparison of Single Dose with Multiple Dose Antibiotic Prophylaxis with Cefuroxime in Open Cholecystectomy

summary:
  The authors recommended single dose antibiotic prophylaxis with cefotaxime.22 Another study showed 4.3% wound infection with single antibiotic in two doses, and recommended single antibiotic prophylaxis for elective cholecystectomy.23 Kufman conducted a double blind, controlled randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a single dose of prophylactic antibiotic (gentamycin) for elective cholecystectomy. The World Health Organization has established the rationale of use of antibiotics as a priority in its campaign.9 Peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis is safe and its effectiveness is proven.10,11 Inappropriate use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is common, e.g., incorrect timing, improper duration, and oral route of administration of antibiotics.12 The timing of first dose is very important7, and improper timing is one of the most common faults regarding surgical prophylaxis.13 The agent selected should be the one to which the expected organisms are highly sensitive14, and the dose should have large volume of distribution, lower toxicity, and longer half- life, allowing single dose administration.

  Xu et al. also report that saliva is a reservoir for coronavirus in asymptomatic patients, who can also transmit the virus to other healthy individuals.19 Current Diagnostic Modalities for Coronavirus Currently, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs are collected for detection of coronavirus from suspected patients. This process is facilitated by a serine protease, TMPRSS2 which also cause viral activation by cleavage of S glycoprotein.5 Zhou et al., proved further that novel coronavirus does not use any other receptors to initiate its action.2 All tissues and organs of the body that expresses ACE2 receptors are prone to face coronavirus invasion and may present with various symptoms.6 Large number of ACE2 receptors have been detected in Type II alveolar cells, cholangiocytes, upper esophagus and myocardial cells, respectively.7 The mode of transmission for COVID-19 is primarily through respiratory droplets, by direct human-to- human contact and touching objects that have been contaminated by an infected person.

  The first description of spinal tuberculosis was given by Sir Percival Pott in 1779.2 Today Spinal tuberculosis constitutes 50% of skeletal tuberculosis, 50-60% of extra Pulmonary tuberculosis and 1-5% of all tuberculosis cases. Furthermore, the incidence of neurologic complications in Caries spine varies from 10% to 43%.5 The diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis is not easy and in almost all cases, the illness manifests in advanced stages.6 Conventional radiological imaging is noninvasive but it takes nearly three to four months for spinal tuberculous lesion to be evident on plain radiographs and unfortunately, more than 50% of the vertebra are destroyed before the formation of the lesions to be seen on a plain radiograph.7,8,9 The advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with reported sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 88.2% respectively, for Caries spine has revolutionized the diagnosis of the condition.10 It can identify the pathological lesions in the early stages of the disease, correctly demonstrate the extent of the disease involvement and can monitor the response to treatment.

The mosquito population can be reduced by getting rid of places where mosquitoes can breed e.g. used tyres, water cans, or household plant pots where rain water can collect, outdoor bird and pets' water dishes.12 Recently FDA has approved a vaccine, Dengvaxia, which is claimed to help in prevention of Dengue fever in children aged 9 to 16 years who are already infected by the Dengue virus.13 However, it is not available worldwide to prevent the disease in the ge n e ra l population, especially in endemic and under developed countries.

  3,4 Recently introduced regenerative endodontic procedures (e.g. revascularization) have the potential to allow for continuation of root development to reinforce dentinal walls and strengthen the tooth against future fracture and might therefore offer an alternative therapeutic approach in the management of immature permanent teeth with compromised integrity. A critical aspect prior to providing regenerative endodontic procedure to immature necrotic teeth is the size of the apical foramen.

  Postoperative pain may be less with laparoscopic procedures as compared to open procedures.4 Pain caused by tension or compression may slowly diminish with time as a consequence of tissue reorganization.5 The quality and duration of analgesia provided by morphine remain without comparison.6 But due to the complications of opioids, in recent times, physicians have been paying attention to Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain control.7 NSAID, Diclofenac, which reduces inflammation and relieves pain, is used to treat dental pain, muscle aches, and athletic injuries. When Chi-Square was applied to determine the association, it was observed that pain severity was significantly associated with age.

While a study by Yang et al. comparing Ranson, BISAP, APACHE II, and MCTSI score in hyperlipidemia induced AP patients, reported that MCTSI is outstanding in predicting complications, but is not good in predicting severity and mortality in these patients.13 Studies by Mortele et al. and Banday et al. also reported CTSI as a simpler and best tool for predicting hospital stay, infections risk, organ failure risk and mortality in AP patients.14,15 C o n c l u s i o n Modified CTSI is most accurate score in predicting ICU admissions, complications and mortality in AP patients, however the BISAP score represents a simple way of identifying patients at greater risk of dying and developing complications within 24 hours of presentation.

  Comparison of Auramine Phenol and ZN Staining in Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis with GeneXpert MTB/RIF as Gold Standard

summary:
  Conclusions: Smear microscopy using Auramine phenol stain is a useful technique for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB. However, Auramine stain is more sensitive in detecting lesser number of bacilli in smears which may remain undetected with ZN staining.10 These findings are corroborating the results of studies by Ulukanligill et al. and Murray et al.10,14 Murray and colleagues compared the sensitivity of Auramine phenol and ZN staining at all of the five stages of sample preparation and declared Auramine phenol stain to be more sensitive and reliable than ZN staining in detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB).14 Lack of requirement of flame for slide fixation and examination of larger slide area at lower magnification and in lesser time, are the other advantages of Auramine staining over ZN staining.

summary:
  Pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES), using a catheter-electrode placed intra-luminal in the pharynx and attached to stimulator unit to generate the required stimulus has been explored for exploitation of neuroplasticity in motor cortex and has been found to be of benefit as it results in less aspiration and dysphagia.23 Palatal electrical stimulation has also been used by some researchers to initiate sensory feedback, so as to get swallow reflex involuntarily, with controversial results.24 Momosaki et al.25 used Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) and noted a statistically significant improvement in swallowing function, both in terms of capacity and speed of swallowing. Lee et al., studied the effect of rTMS according to site of stimulation and reported that stimulation of the area of brain cortex which generated motor evoked potentials (MEP) from suprahyoid muscles caused maximum improvement in swallowing function when compared to that over the interconnected site.

summary:
  In addition to glomerular injury, newer biomarkers of tubular, vascular, inflammation, podocytes and oxidative stress have been verified in some patients that detect diabetic nephropathy much earlier than microalbuminuria.3 Usefulness of these biomarkers is still debatable in research due to limited studies performed and requires further validation.3 Microalbuminuria even disputed as biomarker of early diabetic nephropathy, is still considered as an important screening test to detect glomerular and tubular injury in diabetic population.3 American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend initial assessment of urinary albumin excretion in type I diabetes mellitus who have had diabetes for at least five years and in all patients with type II diabetes mellitus at the time of presentation and during pregnancy.8 All diabetic patients with negative screening test for microalbuminuria should be assessed for kidney functions on annual basis.9 Microalbuminuria (although a misnomer term) is detection of small quantity of albumin (and not small-size albumin) in the urine i.e. 30-300 mg/24 hours or 20 to 200 µg/min in the absence of clinical proteinurea as measured by standard analytical methods.7 More appropriate term for microalbuminuria is paucialbuminuria or albumin excretion rate.10 Normal urinary albumin excretion is less than 30 mg/24 hours (20ug/min). Multiple serum and urinary biomarkers are used to diagnose diabetic nephropathy before it is clinically evident.2 Urinary microalbumin has been used as a clinical biomarker of diabetic kidney disease since 1982.4

  One group was given febuxostat for treatment of post renal transplant hyperuricemia while the other one was given a placebo. The commonly used hypouricemic agents used in general population are Allopurinol and Benzbromarone but both of them cannot be used in post renal transplant hyperuricemia because of toxicity of the former and reduced hypouricemic effect due to chronic renal insufficiency and renal transplantation in the latter.11 Febuxostat is a non-purine selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase and is better tolerated in patients with gout and/or moderate renal dysfunction.12,13 Metabolism of Febuxostat is mainly done by glucuronide formation and oxidation in the liver.14 However, the assessment of efficacy of febuxostat in kidney transplant recipients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia has not been done in local population so far.

  In a study done by Tanalp et al, the radiopacity of Biodentine was found to be lower than that of the other repair materials(MM-MTA, and MTA Angelus).27 Despite this, the reason for preferring zirconium oxide was due to its bioinertness and favorable mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.28 Biodentine as retrograde filling material In periradicular surgeries such as apicoectomy, the most important step is to create an adequate apical seal. They concluded that Biodentine exhibited considerable performance as a repair material even after being exposed to various endodontic irrigation solutions.26 Radiopacity, another important property for repair and retrograde filling materials, allows differentiation of the material from the surrounding tissues.8 Biodentine has zirconium oxide as a radio pacifier unlike bismuth oxide, which is preferred radiopacifier for other materials.

  Tensile Strength of Novel Experimental Hydrophilic Vinyl Polysiloxane Impression Materials Compared to Control and Commercial VPS Impression Materials

summary:
  Impression materials are more prone to tearing in specific areas such as gingival crevices and interproximal areas and such tearing produces a defected impression, which eventually leads to the construction of an ill-fitting prostheses.8 Fig 1 shows schematic representation of tensile testing of a typical specimen of impression material. R e s u l t s Figure 3 shows the results for the mean ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and % elongation-at-break for all commerciand Exp VPS impression materials.
