Hiccup is a prevalent event in the general population and can be found from milder, (so-called benign) to persistent and intractable forms. Hiccups have several causes, but stimulation of the phrenic nerve with compression, deformation and traction are among the most prevalent which could be consequence of mediastinal or lung cancer, gastric and/or esophageal distention, gastroesophageal reflux, instruments (catheters and intubation), cholecystitis, pericarditis or neurological causes. The objective of this paper is to stablish one treatment protocol and hiccup treatment in acute, persistent and intractable stages. A literature review was performed at Scielo, Pubmed, Ebsco, Clin Neuropharmacol, and ScienceDirect databases. Articles and publications from 1970 to 2015 were selected. The relevance of this article is the challenge for diagnostic and the difficulty to stablish the best plan to be addressed in cases of persistent or intractable hiccups in neurological patients, since they probably have many causes.

Abstract Background Metagenomic sequencing has shown tremendous promise in solving difficult infectious diseases cases. In this study, we utilized this technology to help guide the care of a critically ill patient with severe pneumonia, fever of unknown origin, and subsequent encephalitis in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed on the patient’s blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and cerebral spinal fluid by using an Illumina MiniSeq sequencer. Results.  A high load of human adenovirus B55 (HAdV-B55), a highly pathogenic adenovirus associated with numerous recently reported outbreaks and deaths in China, was detected in both blood and BAL, which explained the severity of the condition. The patient was treated with intravenous ribavirin, which cleared the virus after 26 days. Metagenomic sequencing also helped diagnose an unexpected herpes simplex virus–1 encephalitis during hospitalization, which led to timely treatment. Conclusions.  This was the first successful case utilizing metagenomic sequencing to guide diagnosis and treatment in the ICU setting in China. We have proven the concept that metagenomic sequencing can play an important role in determining clinical approaches and ultimately in improving patient outcomes. We also hope to share our successful treatment protocol for the severe pneumonia and viremia caused by HAdV-B55.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to describe the main lesions that simulate clinically and propose a treatment protocol for acute endodontic infection. Signs and clinical symptoms of periodontal abscess, gingival abscess, odontoma, herpes simplex, pericoronitis, acute pulpitis and necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis/periodontitis (NUG/NUP) were described and compared with acute endodontic infections. A treatment protocol was described by optimizing the procedures in access cavity, microbial decontamination and detoxification of the root canal, apical debridement, intracanal and systemic medication and surgical drainage procedures. The convenience of the use of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, root canal instrumentation using a crown-down technique, intracanal medication with 2% chlorhexidine or triple antibiotic paste and the convenience of the use of antibiotics, analgesics, and surgical drainage to solve cases of acute dentoalveolar abscess was discussed.
