Sir James Black obituary

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:53:45 +0000

Nobel prizewinning pharmacologist who invented new drugs such as beta-blockersThe Nobel prizewinning physician and pharmacologist Sir James Black, who has died aged 85, changed the face of medicine. Among his key discoveries were the drugs propranolol, the first successful beta-blocker, used to treat heart problems, and cimetidine, marketed as Tagamet, for stomach ulcers.The anti-ulcer drugs invented by Black in the 1970s became for many years the world's biggest-selling drugs, and marked a fundamental change in approach in the treatment of peptic ulcers. A formerly widely used diagnostic test of a patient's susceptibility to develop a peptic ulcer was to administer histamine, a powerful stimulant of gastric acid secretion. Black turned that knowledge to great effect, in a biochemical slei...

Removal of Large Complex Odontoma Using Le Fort I Osteotomy

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:25:10 +0000

We read with great interest the article by Korpi et al on “Removal of Large Complex Odontoma Using Le Fort I Osteotomy,” and we would like to share our personal experience regarding the use of Le Fort I-type osteotomy as a surgical approach for removal of large maxillary lesions. First, we believe that this technique is reserved not only to posteriorly located maxillary lesions as reported by the authors, but equally for removal of lesions involving 1 or more maxillary walls. Second, the “panoramic” view of both the maxillary sinus and the nasal cavity makes this approach incontestably unique not only for removal of large lesions but also to access specific not otherwise easily viewable anatomical regions, such as the lacrymal recess of the maxillary sinus, the inferior part of the...

Is Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome Really So Rare?: Proposal for an Investigative Protocol Based on a Case Series

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:25:08 +0000

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also known as Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, is a dominant autosomal condition with complete penetration and variable expression. It is caused by mutations to Patched (PTCH), which is a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 9q22,3-q31. Estimates of the prevalence of this syndrome vary from 1 in 57,000 to 1 in 164,000, depending on the country, although it is generally accepted that its prevalence is approximately 1 in 60,000 people.

The developmental roles of FMRP.

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 02:06:48 +0000

Authors: Till SM FXS (Fragile X syndrome) is the most common genetically inherited form of cognitive impairment. The predominant cause of the syndrome is the loss of a single protein, FMRP (Fragile X mental retardation protein). Many of the cognitive and behavioural features found in Fragile X individuals emerge during childhood and are associated with abnormal organization of cortical connections. However, although FMRP is expressed as early as embryogenesis, relatively little is known about its roles during development or how this may influence FXS phenotypes in adulthood. The present review focuses specifically on the evidence for the functions of FMRP during embryonic and early postnatal development. The current knowledge of the role of FMRP in FXS will be briefly summarized before...

Burow's solution-induced acute sensorineural hearing loss: Report of two cases

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:19:49 +0000

Abstract: This is the report of rare cases to show the potential ototoxicity of Burow's solution in clinical use. We encountered two cases of acute sensorineural hearing loss occurring after the administration of 8% Burow's solution (pH 2.93) into the tympanic cavities. Prior to treatment, both cases presented with tympanic membrane perforations in the posterior and inferior portions and a small amount of serous discharge. Fortunately, hearing loss recovered almost completely except for high tones within a few weeks. These two case reports demonstrate that the ototoxicity of Burow's solution should be considered when it is used to treat otitis media accompanied by tympanic membrane perforation.

Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions in young children with otitis media with effusion before and after surgery

Conclusion: In small children with OME, application of TEOAEs in follow-up of surgical effects is a method of choice for hearing screening due to its objectivity, simplicity and ease of use even after insertion of ventilation tubes. Follow-ups of TEOAE correlation percentage and signal to noise ratio reflect the condition earlier than follow-ups of TEOAE amplitude.

Craniofacial measures of chronic otitis media patients by 2D reformatted CT

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:00:00 +0000

Few authors have studied differences in craniofacial morphology of adults with chronic otitis media (COM). We sought to compare the craniofacial measurements of patients with COM with otherwise healthy adults. The study group included 120 adult patients. The control group had 30 men and 30 women without evidence of otitis media; a COM group consisted of 30 men and 30 women with COM. Craniofacial measurements were assessed retrospectively using a two-dimensional reformatted CT method. Multiple linear (bony and cartilaginous auditory tube length, size of the mastoid, height of the jugular bulbus, intercochlear distance, bitemporal distance, distance between pharyngeal orifices, and some cephalometric cranial base distances), angular (auditory tube angle, cranial base angle), and area (axial ...

Embolization of Acute Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Resistant to Endoscopic Treatment: Results and Predictors of Recurrent Bleeding

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:49:07 +0000

Abstract Acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal (UGI) hemorrhage is a frequent complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The most common cause of UGI bleeding is peptic ulcer disease, but the differential diagnosis is diverse and includes tumors; ischemia; gastritis; arteriovenous malformations, such as Dieulafoy lesions; Mallory-Weiss tears; trauma; and iatrogenic causes. Aggressive treatment with early endoscopic hemostasis is essential for a favorable outcome. However, severe bleeding despite conservative medical treatment or endoscopic intervention occurs in 5–10% of patients, requiring surgery or transcatheter arterial embolization. Surgical intervention is usually an expeditious and gratifying endeavor, but it can be associated with high o...

Conclusions At the age of 0–2 years the incidence of influenza, otitis media, intestinal infectious diseases and of viral diseases was significantly higher in Roma than in non-Roma children and was not associated with education of mothers. There was no increase in the morbidity of Roma children over the non-Roma children at the age of 2–6 years. The prevalence of allergies in Roma children was extremely low.
