Diagnosis And Management

This case series describes a number of different treatment modalities used in the management of impacted mandibular second molars (MM2s). A variety of cases is used to illustrate a number of ways in which these teeth can be managed, and to demonstrate that each case should be managed on an individual basis, taking into account the overall malocclusion. The importance of early diagnosis and management is highlighted throughout. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case series highlights the difficulties and challenges in managing patients who present with impacted lower second molars (MM2s), and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

Care Evaluation

A potential limitation of physician office records for ambulatory health care evaluation is their completeness. Criteria used to evaluate care of a specific problem not only should be of major importance in its diagnosis and treatment but should also be likely to be recorded in the physician's records. It is possible that a physician may not record certain kinds of observations and actions even though he performs them. Further, whether or not the physician enters information in his record may not be related to his opinion about its importance for patient care. The specific questions asked in this study were whether practices deemed desirable by practitioners for diagnosis and management of sore throat of possible streptococcal origin were actually performed and, if so, whether the performance was recorded.

Treatment Safety

Background: Mobile Stroke Units (MSU) are growing in numbers throughout the U.S. and abroad, with numerous staffing configurations, telemedicine, and differing imaging capabilities. We aimed to test the diagnostic accuracy and treatment safety, alongside time to diagnosis and treatment delivery of a novel advanced practice provider (APP) led MSU team. Methods: We launched an MSU housing a hospital-grade Siemens Somatom CT with CTA capabilities, and hired APPs with advanced neurovascular practitioner board certification to lead field medical diagnosis and order/initiate treatment for encountered stroke patients. Consecutive MSU patients were evaluated for differences between APPs and Vascular Neurologists (VNs) diagnosis and management, and scene diagnosis and treatment times were collected. Results: Agreement between APP field medical diagnosis and MD hospital diagnosis was 100%; stroke mimic diagnosis agreement was 98%. Overall agreement for field interpretation of CT/CTA was 97%, with discrepancies not associated with stroke treatment decisions. MDs’ agreement with APPs’ identification/treatment of ICH was 100%, and IVtPA treatment decisions 98% (APPs more conservative). Scene arrival to medical diagnosis (including clinical exam and imaging completion/interpretation) ranged from 7-10 minutes, of which 4 minutes were CT/CTA start to finish times. Scene arrival to IVtPA bolus ranged from 16 minutes to 33 minutes and was driven primarily by need for control of excessive hypertension, with scene arrival to start of nicardipine premix infusion ranging from 10-14 minutes. Conclusions: Use of an APP-led MSU is safe and non-inferior to VN diagnosis/management, and may be faster than telemedicine guided MSU treatment.

Abstract Objectives.—To review hepatitis C virus (HCV), describe the types of molecular-based tests available for the diagnosis and management of HCV infection, and discuss the appropriate utilization of these tests. Data Sources.—Current information is presented from the published literature, as well as new information where available. Study Selection.—A major cause of posttransfusion and community-acquired non-A, non-B hepatitis worldwide is HCV. Approximately 4 million people in the United States are infected with HCV, resulting in 8000 to 10 000 deaths annually. Because HCV is not readily cultured, in vitro molecular-based tests have been developed for use in the diagnosis and treatment of HCV-infected patients. Molecular tests include qualitative and quantitative nucleic acid amplification tests, branched DNA tests, and HCV genotyping assays. Qualitative HCV nucleic acid amplification tests are used routinely in association with serologic tests to help make a diagnosis of infection with HCV. Quantitative HCV testing and genotyping methods have been found to be valuable tools in the treatment of infected patients. A patient's pretreatment HCV viral load and the rate of virus decline during therapy have been shown to correlate with the likelihood of long-term response to antiviral therapy. Information pertaining to the genotype of HCV infecting patients has been shown to be helpful in making recommendations regarding treatment. Certain genotypes of HCV are much more responsive to therapy, allowing a shorter course of treatment. Conclusions.—Molecular tests are valuable tools for use in the diagnosis and treatment of patients infected with HCV.

Neurologic Sequelae

Children still die or suffer permanent neurologic sequelae as a result of bacterial meningitis. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive management are the goals, but early signs of meningitis are often subtle and nonspecific and, therefore, may be recognized only in retrospect. The physician must identify among the many febrile children seen every day in office practice—most of whom have spontaneously resolving illnesses usually caused by viruses—the few children who have serious bacterial infection requiring early intervention. No single test or battery of tests replaces the clinical acumen of the physician in identifying the child with early signs of bacterial meningitis. Because of controversies about diagnosis and treatment of meningitis voiced in various forums, including the courtroom, the Task Force on Diagnosis and Management of Meningitis has been asked by the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics to prepare a report on the causes, diagnosis, management, and outcome of meningitis in infants and children. This task force selected for discussion issues of current relevance and controversy in the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial and nonbacterial meningitis. Many other aspects of meningitis are discussed elsewhere. Commentaries on the prevention of disease by chemoprophylaxis (antimicrobial agents) or immunoprophylaxis (vaccines) have been prepared by the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta) publishes recommendations on vaccine usage and chemoprophylaxis formulated by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. These resources are of value to the practitioner who cares for children and needs information on optimal measures for the treatment and prevention of meningitis.

The Common

The major aim of this book is to provide the interested clinician with a simple, direct approach to the diagnosis and management of the common cardiac arrhythmias. The author prides himself in going out of his way to describe the phenomena in the book in a simple, clear fashion and he achieves his aims fairly well. Since the author considers this a basic book for the noncardiologist, it might be of value for the practicing pediatrician who wants to know more about cardiac arrhythmias.
