Ulcerative Stomatitis

Chronic inflammation of the oral cavity accompanied by ulcers called Canine Chronic Ulcerative Stomatitis (CCUS). A Pomeranian dog was examined at the Animal Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University with complaints of decreased appetite and drinking accompanied, in the dog that would not close his mouth. Clinical examination showed that there is bleeding and swelling of the gums and lips, torn sores and ulcer on the lower lip, redness on the edge of the tongue, blackish plaque in almost all of his teeth, halitosis, and enlargement of the mandibular lymph nodes, and routine hematological examination showed a normochromic and normocytic anemia, elevated monocyte levels, and neutrophilia, so dogs were diagnosed with CCUS. Treatment using Amoxicillin, Meloxicam, Vitamin C, Ferrous Sulfate, and fluid therapy using NaCl initially gave quite good results, but the dog died on the sixth day after therapy which possibly due to severe malnutrition and anemia.

Abstract O. ficus-indica is highly valued as a fruit-producing cactus, also yielding 'leaves' that are used as a vegetable and browsed by livestock. It has been introduced widely from its native Mexico to almost all countries where the climate is suitable. The fruit is very rich in vitamin C and is exploited commercially in many areas. Many countries, especially in Asia, have recently established large-scale commercial plantations. However, O. ficus-indica, like several other species of Opuntia, have been known to spread and become invasive weeds. Historical records, however, appear to indicate a time-lag of about 100 years between introduction and the beginnings of invasive spread thus the actual risk may be low.

Vitamin C is one component that can increase iron absorption in patients with iron deficiency anemia. This study aims to determine the effect of vitamin C supplementation on iron absorption as measured by hemoglobin levels in anemic mice. This type of research is an experimental laboratory design. Experimental animals (Mus. Musculus) male mice were made anemia induced with sodium nitrite and then divided into three treatment groups. Group I, was given distilled water, Group II, was given ferrous sulfate, Group III, was given ascorbic acid + ferrous sulfate at a dose of 4.5 mg. The treatment was given for 14 days after experiencing anemia. Data analysis was used ANOVA test. If it has an effect, it continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Changes in the average hemoglobin level of mice ranged from 12-15 grams/dL after 14 days of treatment, which means that the hemoglobin level returned to normal. Thus, the administration of vitamin C can increase iron levels in mice (Mus musculus) Anemia by induction of sodium nitrite. ABSTRAK   Vitamin C merupakan salah satu komponen yang dapat menengkatkan absorpsi besi pada penderita anemia defisiensi besi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek pemberian suplementasi vitamin C terhadap absorpsi besi yang diukur dari kadar hemoglobin hewan coba mencit anemia. Jenis penelitian berupa  desain laboratory eksperimental. Hewan coba mencit (Mus. Musculus) jantan dibuat anemia dengan diinduksi dengan natrium nitrit kemudian dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok perlakuan. Kelompok I diberi akuades, Kelompok II diberi ferro sulfat, Kelompok III diberi asam askorbat + fero sulfat dengan dosis 4,5 mg. Perlakuan diberikan selama 14 hari setelah mengalami anemia. Analisis data menggunakan ANOVA. Bila memiliki pengaruh maka dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Perubahan kadar hemoglobin rata-rata mencit berkisar 12-15 gram/dL setelah perlakuan selama 14 hari yang artinya kadar hemoglobin kembali ke keadaaan normal. Dengan demikian, pemberian vitamin C dapat meningkatkan kadar zat besi pada mencit (Mus musculus) Anemia dengan induksi natrium nitrit.

This report presents a case of a psychiatric patient with scurvy. Upon the clinical examination of the oral cavity, dry and pale lips were noted. Gingiva was highly edematous, soft, purple blue with ulcerated margins. Bleeding was noted upon slightest provocation. Teeth were also affected by the vitamin C deficiency with multiple caries. The patient was asthenic and adynamic. Petechial bleeding and hematomas were present on the skin of extremities. Therapy consisted of rehydration and vitamin C compensation - 2 g daily i.v. during 10 days period, and 1.5 g daily orally during the following 2 months. The patient maintained only partial plaque control, and complete recovery of the oral cavity was not established because the patient didn?t comply. Concerning that scurvy is a rare disease nowadays, it is very important to recognize its clinical signs, and to establish a valid and prompt diagnosis, because, when untreated, scurvy can have severe consequences on the entire organism.

Oral mucoceles are the most common benign minor salivary gland lesions. It is of interest to document the prevalence of oral mucocele among outpatients at the Saveetha Dental Hospital, India. We used patient data (12 case records) with mucocele occurrence for this analysis. Data included age, gender, diagnosis, lesion duration and relevant dental history. Data shows that oral mucocele were seen predominantly in males (66%) when compared to females (34%). The most affected site in the oral cavity was the lower lip (58%). Thus, data shows that oral mucocele was predominantly seen in males compared to females. Data also shows that the lower lip is often affected.

ABSTRACT: According to the World Health Organization, the development of orally replacement fluids and electrolytes was one of the most significant advances of the twentieth century, markedly reducing mortality from diarrheal children. In veterinary medicine, oral electrolyte solutions (OES) are routinely used to treat diarrheic neonatal calves in order to correct water, electrolyte and acid base imbalances. In North America, the use of OES is routine and there are at least 20 commercial alternatives. Use of OES has increased in recent years in Brazil, but just five commercial products are currently available. The OES should contain, in suitable concentrations, electrolytes, glucose and an alkalizing agent to ensure its therapeutic efficacy. This review aimed to address the therapeutic importance of OES for neonatal calves and to evaluate the compositions and characteristics of those commercially available in Brazil.

Abstract Aim The aim of this article is to present a case of Paracoccidioidomycosis with involvement of the oral cavity but without pulmonary manifestations. Background Paracoccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It is an endemic disease representing a serious health problem for Latin American countries, especially Brazil. This infection primarily affects the lungs of adult men and is acquired through inhalation or accidental inoculation of the fungus. It can spread to other organs and tissues, mainly the oral cavity. Administration of antifungal medication always resolves the disease. Report A 58-year-old black male presented with three painless, ulcerated, mulberry-like granulomatous lesions located in the floor of the mouth, on the superior alveolar ridge, and on the hard palate, which had evolved over a period of two years. Facial asymmetry was observed due to edema in the lower lip and lymphadenopathy. He had smoked for more than six years but showed no evidence of lung alterations, productive cough, or fever. Panoramic radiography showed no signs of a bone lesion in the jaws. Both a radiograph and a CT scan of the thorax showed no areas of nodular infiltration. Fibrobronchoscopic examination of the entire respiratory tract was normal. Biopsies of the oral lesions were performed, and tissue sections exhibited oral mucosa coated with non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium with acanthosis and focal areas of exocytosis. The underlying connective tissue showed an intense lymphocytic and polymorphonuclear infiltrate in addition to multinuclear giant cells and coagulation necrosis. A special stain used for fungus (the Grocott-Gomori method) was positive. Pulmonary biopsy exhibited aerial spaces containing macrophages, dark granular hemossiderin, and absence of fungus. This was considered normal. In agreement with the recommendation of pneumologists 400 mg/day of ketoconazole was prescribed for the patient. After two months of treatment, even though the oral lesions had resolved completely, the therapy was maintained for six months more. One year after following treatment the patient was in good health and free of any signs of a recurrent infection. Summary Based on clinical, radiographic, and histologic findings the differential diagnosis included paracoccidioidomycosis and squamous cell carcinoma. Following clinical and biopsy examinations of the oral lesions and the lungs a final diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis was made. This is a prime example of oral manifestations of a systemic disease in which the dentist is the initial health care professional to evaluate the patient due to the location of the lesions.

In his classical treatise on Contagions, Hieronymus Fracastorious of Verona has the following passage: “I recollect a singular contagion of the year 1514 which affected only oxen; it first showed itself in the district of Frioli, then gradually extended to northern Italy and thence reached our country. At first the ox went off its feed without any obvious cause, but if the herdsmen looked into the mouth a certain roughness and small pustules were noted on the palate and the whole oral cavity. It was necessary at once to isolate the infected beast from the rest of the herd, otherwise all became affected. Gradually the disease descended to the shoulders and thence to the feet, and almost all the beasts in which this happened recovered, but when it did not, they usually died” (Fracastorii, pp. 63–4). Probably, as in the parallel case of influenza, a careful search of earlier literature might show that foot-and-mouth disease had played its part before 1514. It is sufficient for my present purpose to establish that it has been recognised, very much in its actual clinical form for more than 400 years.
