This chapter discusses chronic Occluso-Muscle Disorder, which is a myogenous subset of Temporomandibular Disorder symptoms resultant from occlusally activated muscle hyperactivity. Published T-Scan-based research since 1991 has determined that a significant etiologic component of Occluso-Muscle Disorder is prolonged (in time) occlusal surface friction that occurs between opposing posterior teeth during mandibular excursions. This friction results in prolonged compressions of the Periodontal Ligament fibers of the involved teeth, which triggers excess muscle contractions within the masticatory muscles. This chapter describes the neuroanatomy of how the excursive friction induces masticatory muscle hyperactivity and illustrates the patient occlusal factors that promote prolonged occlusal surface friction. It explains the patient section criteria for determining if an Occluso-Muscle Disorder patient is a candidate for occlusal intervention, details the computer-guided Occluso-Muscle Disorder treatment known as Disclusion Time Reduction, and supports this measured occlusal treatment with the research studies that validate using this highly effective Occluso-Muscle Disorder therapy.

ObjectivesTo examine the characteristics of paediatric attendances to the emergency department (ED) in Cork University Hospital (CUH) before and after the expansion of free general practitioner (GP) care to children under the age of 6 years.DesignThis is a retrospective observational study that used a large administrative dataset.SettingThe study was conducted in major Irish tertiary referral centre that serves a total population of over 1.1 million. It is a public hospital, owned and managed by the health service executive.ParticipantsChildren aged 0–15 years who attended CUH ED during the study period of 6 years (2012–2018) were included in this study (n=76 831).InterventionsFree GP care was expanded to all children aged 0–5 years in July 2015.Main outcome measuresPaediatric attendances to CUH ED were examined before (Time Period 1: July 2012–June 2015) and after (Time Period 2: July 2015–June 2018) the expansion of free GP care to children under 6. Changes in GP referral rates and inpatient hospital admissions were investigated.ResultsPaediatric presentations to CUH ED increased from 35 819 during the Time Period 1 to 41 012 during the Time Period 2 (14.5%). The proportion of the CUH ED attendances through GP referrals by children under 6 increased by over 8% in the Time Period 2 (from 10 148 to 14 028). Although the number of all children who attended CUH ED and were admitted to hospital increased in Time Period 2 (from 8704 to 9320); the proportion of children in the 0–5 years group who attended the CUH ED through GP referral and were subsequently admitted to hospital, decreased by over 3%.ConclusionThe expansion of free GP care has upstream health service utilisation implications, such as increased attendances at ED, and should be considered and costed by policy-makers.

ABSTRACT Objective: In the present paper we present an observational study of the implementation of a Neuropsychological Stimulation Program at an Elderly Day Care Center in low-educated participants with very similar backgrounds concerning social economic status. Methods: The implemented program tackled several dimensions, including daily orientation sessions, cognitive stimulation sessions twice a week, followed by movement sessions, and structured sessions conducted every two weeks. Cognitive Evaluation was performed before and after implementation of the program. Results: Results are discussed taking into consideration cognitive outputs as well as non-cognitive outputs and the specificities of community-based intervention. Conclusion: It was concluded that community-based intervention is set to become vital in promoting dementia prevention.

Dermatophytoses refers to superficial fungal infection of keratinized tissues caused by keratinophilic dermatophytes. According to observations worldwide, dermatophytoses are the most common of the superficial fungal infections. It is common in tropics and may present in epidemic proportions in areas with high rates of humidity. This prospective, longitudinal, observational study was conducted at SKHMC, Jaipur for a period of 1 year (April 2018 to March 2019), aiming to ascertain the effectiveness of homoeopathic medicines in the treatment of Tinea corporis and Tinea cruris. In this study, 65 cases of Tinea Infection (33 cases of Tinea cruris & 32 cases of Tinea corporis) were treated with homoeopathic medicines prescribed on the basis of totality of the symptoms. Treatment outcomes were assessed using Clinical Symptom Score, designed for this study & approved by Institutional Ethical Committee. Out of 65 patients, 41 patients (63.1%) got improved; 19 patients (29.2%) were at status quo and 05 patients (07.7%) became worse. Maximum patients were found to be in the age group of 11-40 years (n=50; 76.9%). Males were observed to be affected more as compared to females. Paired t-test was conducted on the Clinical Symptom Scores obtained before and after treatment and the result showed that p value is < 0.05 & value of t (11.623) is greater than the tabulated value in t-table at df = 64 (1.997), which was statistically significant and which also concluded that homoeopathic medicines were effective in treating Tinea corporis and Tinea cruris.
