Ongoing Debate

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is an inflammatory condition affecting the paranasal sinuses and is commonly encountered by both Otorhinolaryngologists and Dentists. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding the best sequence of management. Clinicians are faced with the dilemma of first addressing either the affected tooth or the affected sinus. This paper provides a review of the current literature on the aetiology, presentation, and management of OMS, as well as our experience in managing this condition. Overall, the causative pathology of the patient’s OMS, their symptoms, and the risk of surgery should drive decision making with regards to sequence of management.

Invasive aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses is a rare and often misdiagnosed disease. This study reported a case of max- illary aspergillosis with a complete  headache and eye pain after tooth extraction with a large abscess in the relative jaw. Tenderness in the right temporal, lower jaw numbness and right eye proptosis was found. Histopathological examination was the suggestion of maxillary sinusitis with a fungal ball of aspergillus.

AbstractNerve sheath tumours of the head and neck region mainly involve the eighth cranial nerve with only 4 per cent occurring in the paranasal sinuses. Only 32 cases of benign schwannomas occurring in the paranasal sinuses have been reported. We present a further case, review the current literature, and discuss the clinical details and specific histological features.

Psychopolitical Validity

Restraint as an intervention in the management of acute mental distress has a long history that predates the existence of psychiatry. However, it remains a source of controversy with an ongoing debate as to its role. This article critically explores what to date has seemingly been only implicit in the debate surrounding the role of restraint: how should the concept of validity be interpreted when applied to restraint as an intervention? The practice of restraint in mental health is critically examined using two post-positivist constructions of validity, the pragmatic and the psychopolitical, by means of a critical examination of the literature. The current literature provides only weak support for the pragmatic validity of restraint as an intervention and no support to date for its psychopolitical validity. Judgements regarding the validity of any intervention that is coercive must include reference to the psychopolitical dimensions of both practice and policy.

The Right

Article 12(3) CRPD requires states parties to provide access by persons with disabilities to the support they may require in exercising their legal capacity. This is to ensure that the rights, will and preferences of persons with disabilities are enjoyed on an equal basis with others [Articles 12(1)(2) and (4) CRPD]. Moreover, the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has made it clear that supported decision-making must replace substitute decision-making arrangements as these are discriminatory and deny equal enjoyment of the right to exercise of legal capacity for persons. At the same time, there is ongoing debate as to whether or not the absence of substitute decision-making regimes is essential for the non-discriminatory realization of an individual's rights, will and preferences to be achieved. To resolve this debate, however, specific attention needs to be paid to the CRPD message on what it actually means to give effect to the equal and non-discriminatory enjoyment of rights for all. In the context of persons with mental disabilities this requires looking beyond human rights simply in terms of limiting unwarranted interventions to the proactive removal of obstacles to full rights enjoyment and the creation of environments that respect and support such enjoyment. With this in mind this paper will therefore critically consider the use of supported decision-making within existing substitute decision-making regimes with particular reference to Scotland's mental health and capacity laws. It will consider the challenges this poses and whether it is indeed possible to adapt existing regimes to achieve CRPD compliance. In doing so, it is suggested that a full appreciation of the overarching CRPD message about equality and non-discrimination in the enjoyment of rights is required to bring about such compliance.

Anatomic Basis

Vacuum disorders of the paranasal sinuses are well described. Patients with facial pain in the distribution of the infraorbital nerve are often labelled as suffering from a “vacuum maxillary sinusitis” and empirically treated by intranasal antrostomy. A varie of mechanisms have been postulated for the production of symptoms in this condition, but all ignore the fact that the maxillary sinus is a relatively insensitive structure. This article introduces a dehiscence of the bony infraorbital nerve canal within the antrum as an anatomic variant and suggests that it may provide the anatomic basis for vacuum sinusitis in the presence of a small natural ostium. Definitive diagnosis is made by outpatient antroscopy, and surgical treatment takes the form of a middle or inferior meatal antrostomy. Persistent symptoms may benefit from an infraorbital neuropexy to provide added protection to the exposed nerve

AbstractChronic rhinosinusitis represents an inflammatory condition of the nose and paranasal sinuses, characterized by two or more symptoms. The diagnosis of acute rhinosinusitis is made, most often, clinically; however, in the case of chronic rhinosinusitis, imaging, bacteriological, as well as the histological investigation are necessary in order to establish the diagnosis and to exclude other diseases that have caused and/or are associated with rhinosinusitis. Different scores (clinical, imagistic) have been described over time, being considered as important factors in the therapeutic decision (surgical or conservative) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The authors present their experience in using and relying on endoscopic and histological scores.

IntroductionChronic sinusitis can be caused by both laryngological and dental factors. The number of odontogenic sinusitis (OS) in last decades is increasing and seems to be underrated. A unique developmental and microbiological factors causing OS require a different therapeutic approach.Material and methodsThis study evaluated tomography examinations of 500 patients with a clinical diagnosis of chronic sinusitis. The patients were referred by laryngologists, neurologists, and maxillofacial surgeons. The scans were reanalyzed in view of the presence of odontogenic and laryngological pathologiesResultsAmong the 500 patients, 19,6% showed no inflammatory changes in the mucosa of the paranasal sinuses. All patient groups had numerous teeth missing, ranging from 27.3% to 33.2%. Most common odontogenic pathologies were periapical changes (28,8%) and the presence of teeth after improper endodontic treatment (24,2%). In the group in question dental implants (0,4%) and maxillary sinus augmentation (2,8%) were a marginal etiological factor.ConclusionsComputed tomography allows a thorough assessment of odontogenic changes. Obstruction of osteomeatal complex does not have direct influence on OS development. 43,2 % of the patients with chronic sinusitis have OS. It can be diagnosed in 50,8% of isolated right, 39,0% of isolated left and 57,8% of bilateral maxillary sinusitis patients. The results of this study can be used by dentists, maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologists to improve the standard of diagnosis and treatment in case of chronic odontogenic sinusitis.

Bibliometric Approach

The concept of big data is one of the important issues in business decision making in recent years. The expansion of social media platforms, the increase in data production devices and the evaluation and interpretation of the data produced by developing technology become crucial. Previous studies in the big data area have addressed the issue in limited contexts, and there are few studies in the field of marketing with a bibliometric approach. This study, which aims to examine how big data concept is evaluated in marketing literature, examines the publications on big data in indexed marketing journals using bibliometric methodology. This study starts with descriptive statistical information and then includes the top published journals, authors and corresponding author’s countries statistics. This study also includes most influential studies for big data concept in marketing literature, employs spectroscopy for detecting historical roots of studies and finally plots growth progress of keywords for predicting, future themes. This study contributes to current literature by providing a summarizing and instructive content for researchers interested in big data in marketing.
