Odontomas can be detected as complex or compound variants and they rarely show the histologic characteristics of both types together. The tumor commonly associated with malocclusion, eruption disturbances and pathological anomalies, but they seldom cause bony expansion. Early detection and management of odontoma with multidisciplinary approach pose an important role to prevent disturbances associated with this common odontogenic tumor. Here we report a rare case of an odontoma which show the features of both complex and compound types and also cause bony expansion, eruption failure in an 8-year-old boy.

Abstract Background Community-acquired infections of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) occur very rarely. Case presentation P. aeruginos was detected in cultures of venous blood and peritoneal exudate of a newborn with 58 perforations in the small intestine. Intravenous administration of imipenem cilastratin sodium and emergency abdominal surgery were performed. The patient fully recovered and was discharged 17 days after the operation. Conclusions Mild symptoms of systemic infections in newborns may delay the diagnosis. Early detection and timely treatment are the key to improved prognosis.

ABSTRACTAdenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare tumor comprising only 3% of all odontogenic tumors. It is a benign, encapsulated, noninvasive, nonaggressive, slowly growing odontogenic lesion associated with an impacted tooth. These lesions may go unnoticed for years. The usual treatment is enucleation and curettage, and the lesion does not recur. Here, we present a rare case of an unusually large aggressive AOT of maxilla associated with impacted third molar. The authors also discuss clinical, radiographic, histopathologic, and therapeutic features of the case. Subtotal maxillectomy with simultaneous reconstruction of the surgical defect with temporalis myofascial flap was planned and carried out.

Odontoma is defined as calcifying benign odontogenic tumor composed of various tooth tissues such as enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum and representing the second most common odontogenic tumor of the jaw bones. These lesions are often associated with impacted permanent teeth. They are usually small, asymptomatic and diagnosed after routine radiographic examination. The aim of this work was to report a case of a compound odontoma in the anterior maxilla of a 35-year-old woman, which was causing the impaction of the maxillary left central incisor. A removal of the tumor was planned. An orthodontic approach was proposed as a surgical procedure for orthodontic traction of the impacted tooth. After 12 months, the clinical and radiographic examination revealed the eruption of the impacted incisor. The recommended treatment of compound odontoma is the complete removal of the tumour. An orthodontic approach may be indicated to correct any malocclusion or to perform the traction of the tooth, due to a possible impaction.

AbstractImproved cancer survivorship has led to an increase in cardiovascular (CV) complications in the oncologic population, mainly associated with therapeutic regimens. Hence, cardio-oncology has grown toward unifying the cancer care process in which the best prevention, early detection, treatment, and CV surveillance are offered to patients. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to optimize and agree upon clinical decisions to enhance clinical outcomes. Atrial fibrillation is one of the hot topics in the field because it is still challenging in cancer patients. The optimal antithrombotic therapy remains unclear. Nevertheless, evidence supports that specific recommendations are needed due to a hemorrhagic/thrombotic disbalance present within this subgroup of patients and a low rate of anticoagulation treatments compared with the general population. Further, cardiotoxicity management is currently transforming. Increasingly, early detection of subclinical alterations is raising awareness. When medical therapy is initiated early, fewer patients progress to ventricular dysfunction and the rate of patients completing cancer therapy gradually increases. New approaches are demonstrating better outcomes and these strategies will expectedly be established in clinical practice. Cardio-oncology enables us to find the best balance between cancer treatment and CV health protection. Nowadays, more and more physicians are being instructed in this discipline, which gradually exhibits a greater presence in conferences and scientific journals. However, given the need for physicians thoroughly trained in cardio-oncology, this subspecialty must be promoted further.

Pertusis affects all the age groups but is most severe in neonates and early infancy and may even cause mortality. Clinical presentation of neonatal pertusis is varied and thus knowing the spectrum of clinical presentation is vital for early diagnosis. Unlike older children, most of the times neonatal pertusis has an atypical presentation and classical presentation is very rare. Here we present such a rare case of neonatal pertusis who presented with classical symptoms of pertusis.
