Thumb Sucking

A seven-year-old boy was presented with discontent of his teeth appearance, mild teeth sensitiveness, bad masticatory effectiveness, difficulty in speech and low self-esteem. The clinical and radiographic results indicated amelogenesis imperfecta. Because of uncooperative behavior, treatment was accomplished under general anesthesia. The use of composite resin and stainless steel crowns produced effective and satisfying improvement of the patient’s aesthetic looks, in addition to prevention of further sensitivity and wear so enhancing his functional needs. The lastingness of the thorough management of this patient needed powerful stress on careful oral hygiene. There is a major role of multidisciplinary team to the effective management of patients with hypomaturation type of amelogenesis imperfecta. Many factors have a significant part in treatment planning of amelogenesis imperfecta cases such as patient’s age, socioeconomic condition, seriousness of the defect, the patient’s collaboration and association with other medical conditions.

The management of children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) presents many challenges, and effective management involves a multidisciplinary treatment approach, which is now considered the standard of care for these patients. Patients with CLP generally require extensive and prolonged orthodontic treatment and this can be at any stage from birth to young adult age.

AbstractBiliary and gallbladder diseases in infants and children often present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that require a fundamental understanding of notable biliary diseases and anatomical variations. Surgical and endoscopic approaches that are often the gold standard in adult biliary treatment may be technically challenging and are associated with a high morbidity that may warrant a multidisciplinary treatment approach. This article will provide a comprehensive overview of the biliary conditions where interventional radiology can play a vital role in the diagnosis, management, and treatment. Differences in approach or technique between children and adults will be highlighted.

Pleural Involvement

Emphysematous osteomyelitis (EO) is a rare infection associated with intraosseous gas. EO is an often fatal disease with an estimated 34% mortality. We present a case of a 63-year-old man with sternoclavicular EO with pleural involvement and significant subcutaneous emphysema diagnosed by CT. Extension of intraosseous gas into the pleural cavity is an extremely interesting presentation that has not been previously reported. The patient underwent a multidisciplinary treatment approach with surgical debridement and an extended antibiotic course. Intraoperative cultures of the pectoralis muscle and bone biopsy grew pan-sensitive Escherichia coli. Prompt recognition and treatment are paramount to avoid a potentially fatal outcome. A review of the literature of the previous 46 cases of EO is presented for associated risk factors, the role of surgical management and antibiotic therapy.

Deep Neck Infections

INTRODUCTION: Deep neck infections which play an important role among neck abscesses have been described rstly by Galen and currently their incidence rates have ranged between 9 to 12/1,00,000. Usually the results of cultures are polymicrobial but as a whole, Streptococcus are the organisms most commonly cultured from deep neck abscesses.The incidence of deep neck infections is decreasing with the use of antibiotics.In this study we have tried to nd out association of microorganisms in neck abscess patients and their antibiotic sensitivity. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: AIM OFTHE STUDY1.Find out association of various microorganisms with neck abscesses 2.To determine antibiotic sensitivity of various microorganisms associated with neck abscess formation. OBJECTIVE OFTHE STUDY- To nd out a proper knowledge regarding role of microorganisms in neck abscess patients so that denitive treatment lines can be established. METHODOLOGY: :Aprospective study was performed in 90 cases of neck abscesses in a tertiary care hospital for a period of 1.5years from February 2019 to July 2020 to nd out association between neck abscesses with bacteriological factors and antibiotic sensitivity of the microorganisms. RESULT: It was found that klebsiella pneumoniae was higher proportion in associated bacteria.The antibiotic sensitivity testings revealed proper medical treatment path by directing necessary antibiotics for specic microorganisms involved in cases of neck abscess. Thus a multidisciplinary treatment approach is always advisable.

Cardiovascular Side Effects

Abstract Recent advances in treatment have transformed the management of cancer. Despite these advances, cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in cancer survivors. Cardio-oncology has recently evolved as a subspecialty to prevent, diagnose, and manage cardiovascular side effects of antineoplastic therapy. An emphasis on optimal management of comorbidities and close attention to drug interactions are important in cardio-oncologic care. With interdisciplinary collaboration among oncologists, cardiologists, and pharmacists, there is potential to prevent and reduce drug-related toxicities of treatments. The cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family of enzymes and the P-glycoprotein (P-g) transporter play a crucial role in drug metabolism and drug resistance. Here we discuss the role of CYP450 and P-g in drug interactions in the field of cardio-oncology, provide an overview of the cardiotoxicity of a spectrum of cancer agents, highlight the role of precision medicine, and encourage a multidisciplinary treatment approach for patients with cancer.

Abstract. The current study investigated the associations of psychological resources, social comparisons, and temporal comparisons with general wellbeing. The sample included 142 community participants (47.9% men; age range 23–83 years), who compared themselves with others, and with their younger selves, on eight dimensions (e.g., physical health, resilience). They also completed questionnaires assessing psychological resources of mastery and self-esteem, and three components of subjective wellbeing: life satisfaction and negative and positive affect. The main results showed that high levels of psychological resources contributed to wellbeing, with self-enhancing social and temporal comparisons moderating the effects of resources on certain wellbeing components. Specifically, under low levels of mastery or self-esteem self-enhancing social or temporal comparisons were related to either higher life satisfaction or positive affect. The results highlight the role of resources and comparisons in promoting people’s wellbeing, and suggest that self-enhancing comparisons function as cognitive coping mechanisms when psychological resources are low.
