Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the clinical effect of Bacillus coagulanson plaque induced gingivitis. Method: Thirty subjects with plaque induced were enrolled in the study. At baseline, Gingival Index (GI) and Plaque Index (PI) were assessed. Saliva samples were collected for glutathione peroxidise (GPx) activity analysis and to determine load of lactobacilli. Subsequently participants were randomly provided with chewable tablets to be consumed 3 X daily for 3 month containing 100 million colony forming units (CFU)/tablet of B. coagulans or without B. coagulans (placebo). After3 months, recording of GI, Pl and saliva sampling were repeated. Results: At baseline, mean GI, and mean Pl did not differ significantly between both groups. At re-evaluation, mean GI, and bleeding on probing of the probiotic group were both significantly (p < 0.0001) lower than in the placebo group. Mean PI level did not differ significantly between the groups. In the probiotic group, mean glutathione peroxide activity (Gpx)was significantly (p < 0.02) lower than in the placebo group at re-evaluation. Conclusion: The consumption of probiotic containing Bacillus coagulans seems to modulate inflammatory response in plaque induced gingivitis.

Abstract Chronic cough is the most frequent reason cited by patients for seeking medical care in an ambulatory setting and may account for 10% to 38% of a pulmonologist's practice. Because chronic cough can be caused by or correlated with a wide array of disorders and behaviors, the diagnosis of etiologic factors and determination of appropriate therapeutic management in these cases can prove to be daunting for the physician and speech-language pathologist alike. This article will describe the phenomenon of chronic cough, discuss the many etiologic factors to consider, and review some of the more common ways in which speech-language pathologists and physicians collaborate to treat this challenging condition.

This paper presents a successful behavioral case study in treatment of chronic refractory cough in a 60-year-old adult female. The efficacy for speech-language pathology treating chronic cough is discussed along with description of treatment regime. Discussion focuses on therapy approaches used and the patient's report of changes in quality of life and frequency, duration, and severity reduction of her cough after treatment.

SummaryTreatment of canine hip dysplasia (CHD) via triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is widely accepted as the treatment that best preserves the existing hip joint. TPO, however, has several important disadvantages. In an effort to avoid some of the difficulties associated with TPO an alternative method of creating acetabular ventroversion (AW) was sought. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of placement of a wedge in the sacroiliac (SI) joint on A W and to compare this to the effect of TPO on A W . On one hemipelvis a 30° pelvic osteotomy plate was used for TPO. The contralateral hemipelvis had a 28° SI wedge inserted into the SI joint. Pre- and postsurgical radiographs of each pelvis were taken and the angular measurements were recorded. On average, the 28° SI wedge resulted in 20.9° of A W, the 30° canine pelvic osteotomy plate resulted in 24.9° A W . Significant differences were not found (p >0.05) between the two techniques. Sacroiliac wedge rotation effectively creates A W and has several theoretical advantages when compared to TPO. The in vivo effects of sacroiliac wedge rotation should be studied in order to evaluate the clinical effect of the technique.Sacroiliac wedge rotation was tested as an alternative method to increase the angle of acetabular ventroversion. This technique effectively rotated the acetabulum and has several theoretical advantages when compared to triple pelvic osteotomy.
