Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine endodontists, pedodontists and general dentists’ knowledge of management of dental trauma. Material and methods: A web-based survey including 13 questions was prepared using Google forms, and a link to the survey was sent to the general dentists, endodontists and paediatric dentists via social media. The questionnaire asked for information regarding the age, gender, state of education, type of institution and knowledge levels about dental traumas. A total of 258 questionnaires were returned, and the One-Way Anova for practitioners' knowledge and the statistical analysis of the relationship between gender, vocational training and training by using Mann-Whitney U tests for participants. Results: As a result of statistical analysis,  although there was no statistical difference between pedodontists and endodontists in their knowledge levels, it was found that both occupational groups had higher knowledge level than general dentists (p = 0,0001). While there was a significant difference between practitioners  at university and oral and dental health hospital (p = 0.0001), there was no difference between practitioners  in university hospital and private office (p = 0.065). Conclusions: In conclusion, general dentists had knowledge of inadequate dental trauma management and the knowledge level of dentists working at oral and dental hospital  was lower.KeywordsDental Trauma; Knowledge Level; General Dentist; Endodontists; Pediatric Dentistry.

<p>The advent of technology has improved the way statistics is taught and learned. It is claimed that the use of computer-based instructional tools can actively explore the meaning of statistical concepts among the students, as well as enhance their learning experiences. This study aimed to compare three methods of statistical analysis namely, the traditional technique (use of the calculator), Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. This investigation utilized the experimental design, specifically the One-Group Pretest – Posttest Design. There were six education students who self-assessed their attitude before and after the introduction of the use of various computation techniques and performed the statistical analysis considering also the completion time required for each process. Results of the study revealed an increase in the level of attitude among the respondents form the pretest to the posttest. Also, the cognitive level regardless of the approach was very high. However, the t-test failed to establish a significant difference in the attitude among the respondents. On the other hand, there were significant differences in both the test scores and completion time of the respondents in the three methods in favor of SPSS.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Information technology, statistics, traditional technique, Microsoft excel, SPSS, comparative analysis, experimental research design, Davao City, Philippines. </p>

Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is frequently caused by streptococcal species. However, there is limited knowledge about the relationship between different streptococcal species and IE, and their associated outcomes. Purpose To examine the prevalence of streptococci at species level in IE, and to relate these different species to outcomes. Methods From 2002–2012 we prospectively collected consecutive patients with IE admitted to two tertiary heart centres covering a catchment area of 2.4 million people. The registry comprises 915 IE patients, 366 (40%) with streptococcal IE. Based on phylogenetic relationship, streptococcal species were classified into seven main groups: Mitis, Bovis, Mutans, Anginosus, Salivarius, Pyogenic and Nutritionally Variant Streptococcus (NVS). Classification at species level was not possible in 51 patients, who were excluded. Complications and prognosis of streptococcal IE were compared between the subgroups, and at species level. Results We included 315 patients with streptococcal IE. Mean age was 63 (IQR 52–76) years, and most were men (67%). A total of 115 patients (37%) had a previous heart valve disease, 58 (18%) had a prosthetic valve, 22 (7%) had previously had IE and 29 (9%) had a cardiac electronic device. With 148 episodes (47%) the Mitis group was the most common cause of IE. Other frequent groups were the Pyogenic group and the Bovis group, accounting for 66 (21%) and 51 (16%) of the cases, respectively. Surgery was carried out in 55% (n=173) of all cases. Patients infected with S. pneumoniae or S. agalactiae had a significantly higher rate of surgery, 72.2% (n=13) and 71.9% (n=23) respectively, whereas the Bovis group had a significantly lower rate, 35.5% (n=18) (p=0.048). The aortic valve was infected in 137 patients (43.5%), mitral valve in 105 patients (33.3%) and both valves were infected in 53 patients (16.8%). Twenty patients (6.3%) had right-sided IE, including pacemaker lead IE. There was no significant difference between the species subgroups regarding type of infected valve. Embolization and osteitis were observed in 76 (24.1%) and 30 (9.5%) patients, respectively. There was no significant difference between the species groups, as was the case with mortality: 23 patients (7.3%) died in-hospital and the one-year mortality was 16% (n=50). Distribution of streptococcal IE Conclusion Species of the Mitis group were the most frequent Streptococci causing IE. Patients infected with S. pneumonia or S. agalactiae had significantly higher rate of surgery, and patients infected with S. bovis group had lower rate of surgery. There was no significant difference in rate of complications such as abscesses, embolization, osteitis or mortality between the streptococcal species.

Abstract. Background: There is a constant increase of joint arthroplasties to improve the quality of life of an ever-aging population. Although prosthetic-joint infections are rare, with an incidence of 1-2%, they represent a serious complication in terms of morbidity and mortality. Infection related mortality is known to be approaching 8% at one year. The aim of this retrospective study is to reassess the one and two-year mortality over the last ten years.Methods: Patients treated for prosthetic joint infection at the University Hospital of Lausanne (Switzerland) between 2006 and 2016 were included. The one and two-year cumulative mortality depending on sex, age, type of prosthesis, infecting organism and type of surgical treatment were computed.Results: 363 patients (60% hips, 40% knees) were identified with a median age of 70 years. The one-year cumulative mortality was 5.5% and it was 7.3% after two years. No difference was seen between hip and knee prostheses, but the mortality was higher in men than in women and increased with age. Furthermore, there was a significant difference depending of the germ with enterococci infections associated with a higher risk of death. Finally, patients treated with a one-stage or two-stage exchange had a lower mortality than those treated with debridement and retention.Conclusion: The mortality is still high and differs according to sex, age, infecting organism and type of surgical treatment. There is a need of studies to improve the management of patients at risk of increased mortality.

The main aim was to evaluate the influence on occlusal contact area (OCA), maximum bite force (MBF), center of occlusal load (COL), and tooth pain after the nocturnal use of different mandibular advance appliances (MAAs) for snoring. Subjects were consisted of ten adult volunteers with mild snoring in Hiroshima University Hospital. Recordings of occlusal function were performed six times for two hours, that is, immediately and 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after the nocturnal use of MAA. The subjects continuously scored their pain intensity on a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS) when MBF was measured. Comparing two MAAs, OCA and MBF were significantly larger in two-piece MAA than in one-piece MAA five minutes after removing the appliance. Significant difference in COL and VAS score compared to baseline disappeared more quickly with two-piece MAA than with one-piece MAA. In conclusion, it is shown that two-piece MAA could be superior to the one-piece one in terms of the degree side effect on occlusal function.

Aim: Due to the common nature of oral and dental problems, awareness needs to be improved, expanded, and maintained. The aim of this study was to determine the oral and dental health knowledge levels of students, many of who would be teachers of the future, in this health field, and to help them work toward the elimination of the identified deficiencies. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study involved 475 students from the Erzurum Ataturk University dentistry, medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, nursing, and education faculties. Data were collected through a questionnaire by random stratified technique, investigating participants’ demographic characteristics and oral health knowledge levels. Results: We observed that 77.3% of students correctly answered 15 or more out of 31 questions addressing levels of knowledge of oral and dental health. This figure was 100% for students in the dentistry faculty and 56.3% for those in the education faculty. The difference between faculties in terms of students correctly answering 15 or more questions was statistically significant ( P < .001). A statistically significant difference was also determined between the faculties in terms of students’ sense of competence in oral and dental subjects ( P < .001). Conclusion: In the light of the data obtained, since prospective health care professionals and teachers both play an important role in raising public awareness, we recommend that a basic oral health course be introduced into the curricula of the relevant faculties.

Abstract Background and Aims There is a high prevalence of malnutrition (PEW) in patients on dialysis (HD-PD). There is no single tool to diagnose it, varying the percentage according to the one used. Aim To assess prevalence of malnutrition-inflammation by MIS scale (malnutrition-inflammation-score) in HD or PD patients of Spanish dialysis units. Method We evaluated  2937 patients on dialysis (HD+PD) in Spain were evaluated on the MIS scale strata (Kalantar-Zadeh 1999) also analyzing: Common data Age, sex, dialysis time, Charlson-I., RRF, albumin,prealbumin,Kt/V transferrin, CRP, DM , Specific-HD HD type, AVF or Catheter , Specific-PD PD-type, transport type. Statistical analysis with SPSS.23 software, using parametric and non-parametric test. Results We evaluate 2748 HD patients, median age 71 (RIC20), 65.90% male, median MIS 6 (RIC4), DM 36.91%, T in HD 36m (RIC54), FRR 35.44% , Charlson Index 7 (RIC4) and 186 in PD (62.96% men), median -age 62 (RIC 24), median-MIS 4 (RIC 2), T in PD of 18.5 m (RIC 23.5),DM 30.77%, FRR 79.89%, I Charlson 5 (RIC 4), In PDA 99pac-52.38%. Prevalence of global malnutrition (MIS&gt;2) was 89% considering HD+DP and 50% when MIS&gt;5 (table 1) In PD the higher normonutrides greater Kt/V in manual vs automatic not the malnourished ones. FRR significantly in greater % in normonutrides. No differences in malnutrition depending on carrier type. CRP sig major in MIS&gt;2 and &gt;5 In HD, Normo versus malnourished and with MIS&gt;5 significant difference: HD type, CRP, HD Type, AVF vs catheter, age,sex. The prescription for Oral supplement was low and higher in HD 12.4% vs DP 6.3%. Conclusions 1.- There is a high prevalence of malnutrition on dialysis being higher in HD. 2.- In PD, FRR major and CRP minor in well-nourished versus malnourished. 3.- In HD: Normo versus malnourished and with MIS&gt;5 significant difference: HD type, CRP,Charlson I. AVF vs catheter, age,sex. 4.- There is a percentage of malnourished patients with very low percentage of oral supplement.

F.VIII R:Ag was determined by quantitative immunelectrophoresis (I.E.) with a prefabricated system. The prefabricated system consists of a monospecific f.VIII rabbit antiserum in agarose on a plastic plate for the one and two dimensional immunelectrophoresis. The lognormal distribution of the f.VIII R:Ag concentration in the normal population was confirmed (for n=70 the f.VIII R:Ag in % of normal is = 95.4 ± 31.9). Among the normal population there was no significant difference between blood donors (one blood donation in 8 weeks; for n=43 the f.VIII R:Ag in % of normal is = 95.9 ± 34.0) and non blood donors (n=27;f.VIII R:Ag = 94.6 ± 28.4 %). The f.VIII R:Ag concentration in acute hepatitis B ranged from normal to raised values (for n=10, a factor of 1.8 times of normal was found) and was normal again after health recovery (n=10, the factor was 1.0). in chronic hepatitis the f.VIII R:Ag concentration was raised in the majority of the cases (for n=10, the factor was 3.8). Out of 22 carrier sera 20 showed reduced, 2 elevated levels of the f.VIII R:Ag concentration. in 5 sera no f.VIII R:Ag could be demonstrated. The f.VIII R:Ag concentration was normal for n=10, reduced for n=20 and elevated for n=6 in non A-non B hepatitis (n=36). Contrary to results found in the literature no difference in the electrophoretic mobility of the f.VIII R:Ag was found between hepatitis patients sera and normal sera.
