Abstract Purpose Except for the occasional case report, there are no studies evaluating the success rate of osseointegrated dental implants in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This study investigated the short-term clinical outcome of implant placement in a group of HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals who required complete dentures. Methods and Materials Edentulous subjects were recruited from an HIV-dedicated clinic and a dental school clinic. Two BioHorizons® dental implants were placed in the anterior mandible to support an overdenture opposing a maxillary denture. Outcome measurements obtained six months after activation of implants were presence of pain, mobility, soft tissue status, and radiographic bone level. Descriptive statistics were used. Results Twenty-nine edentulous adults, including 20 HIV-positive subjects (test) and nine HIV-negative subjects (control), participated. The test group had six females, 14 males; 13 Whites, four African-Americans, and three Hispanics with a mean age of 48.9 years (range: 35-59). The mean CD4 count was 467 cells/mm3 (range: 132-948). The control group had six females, three males; seven Whites, and two Hispanics with a mean age of 65.3 years (range: 50-82). Short-term success rate was 100% for both groups. No difference in clinical outcome was found between the groups. Conclusion This study demonstrated dental implants are well tolerated and have predictable outcomes for HIV-infected individuals for the duration of the study and probably over an even longer term.

A Prospective Study

Thirty-six adult patients with 44 trigger fingers of less than four months' duration entered a prospective study on the efficiency of treatment with local injections of a combination of corticosteroids and lidocaine. From this study it may be concluded that the short-term success rate (93%) of one to three injections of methylprednisolone and lidocaine 2% (Depo-Medrol®) is comparable to that achieved by surgical or percutaneous tenolysis. At one year of follow-up, this success rate still amounted to 86%. In our hands, this therapy is without complications or side effects.

Background: Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α-2 adrenergic receptor agonist with several diverse actions like sedation, anxiolysis, sympatholysis, analgesia, and decreased intraoperative anesthetic requirements (narcotic, inhalational). Intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine can be used as an adjuvant in labour analgesia in preeclampsia patients as onset is faster and duration of analgesia is longer. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to determine the role of intravenous Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant in Labour analgesia in PIH.Subjects and Methods:This was a prospective study and was done in the department of Anaesthesia at Maheshwara Medical College. Our study included 60 full term pregnant women with preeclampsia, within 25 to 45 years age range. They were divided into two groups, as Test group and Control group of 30 patients each. Test group received IV Dexmedetomidine and Control group received IV Fentanyl.Results:Maximum number of cases 15/30 (50%) were in the age group 31-35 years, Majority were primigravida ie, 60% ( 36/60). Onset of analgesia was faster, duration of analgesia was longer and uterine contraction was greater with IV Dexmedetomidine as compared to IV fentanyl.Conclusion:From the present study we conclude that IV Dexmedetomidine can be used for labour analgesia in pregnant women with preecampsia and observed that onset and duration of analgesia are better and also it gives stable maternal parameters of maternal heart rate and mean blood pressure.

SummaryA prospective study was made of 17 dogs with ununited anconeal process treated by osteotomy of the proximal ulna. The effect of the surgery on lameness was evaluated subjectively and the elbows were assessed radiographically for evidence of anconeal fusion and healing of the osteotomy. Whilst clinical outcome was generally good and complications infrequent, relatively few cases achieved anconeal fusion. These results do not compare well with the results of a previous study but this disparity may be due in part to differences in patient population and radiographic evaluation.Further work is required to establish how best to achieve predictable anconeal fusion.Proximal ulnar osteotomy was used to treat 17 dogs with ununited anconeal process. Clinical results were good but anconeal fusion was not achieved consistently. Further work is needed to determine how best to achieve predictable anconeal fusion.

Objectives: To determine the effect of mechanical loading of bone on the stability and histomorphometric variables of the osseointegration of dental implants using an experimental test in an animal model. Materials and Methods: A total of 4 human implants were placed in both tibiae of 10 New Zealand rabbits (n = 40). A 6-week osseointegration was considered, and the rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A (Test group) included 5 rabbits that ran on a treadmill for 20 min daily during the osseointegration period; Group B (Controls) included the other 5 that were housed conventionally. The monitored variables were related to the primary and secondary stability of the dental implants (implant stability quotient—ISQ), vertical bone growth, bone to implant contact (BIC), area of regenerated bone and the percentage of immature matrix. Results: The results of the study show a greater vertical bone growth (Group A 1.26 ± 0.48 mm, Group B 0.32 ± 0.47 mm, p < 0.001), higher ISQ values (Group A 11.25 ± 6.10 ISQ, 15.73%; Group B 5.80 ± 5.97 ISQ, 7.99%, p = 0.006) and a higher BIC (Group A 19.37%, Group B 23.60%, p = 0.0058) for implants in the test group, with statistically significant differences. A higher percentage of immature bone matrix was observed for implants in the control group (20.68 ± 9.53) than those in the test group (15.38 ± 8.84) (p = 0.108). A larger area of regenerated bone was also observed for the test implants (Group A 280.50 ± 125.40 mm2, Group B 228.00 ± 141.40 mm2), but it was not statistically significant (p = 0.121). Conclusions: The mechanical loading of bone improves the stability and the histomorphometric variables of the osseointegration of dental implants.

AbstractIt has been suggested that children undergoing tonsillectomy would benefit from an intravenous infusion, to counteract the period of pre-operativefasting combined with the blood loss at operation.A prospective study of 50 children undergoing tonsillectomy was undertaken. The children were randomly allocated into two groups, one to receive an infusion and a control group.There were no significant differences between the two groups, although the children with an infusion had a longer mean post-operative stay.There would seem to be no role for routine intravenous fluid replacement in children undergoing uncomplicated tonsillectomy.
