The spastic upper limb in children with cerebral palsy.

Management of the upper limb in children with cerebral palsy is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Non-surgical interventions such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, orthoses and botulinum toxin are first-line treatments, but surgery remains the only option to durably correct contractures, rebalance forces, and improve posture, function, hygiene or aesthetics. Surgical procedures must be tailored to the anatomical segment involved, the degree of spasticity and contracture, and the functional goals defined with the patient and the family. The surgical techniques and indicat…

[New s in nephroprotection].

NEWS IN NEPHROPROTECTION. Nephroprotection aims to preserve kidney function and slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. Recent decades have been marked by an expansion of therapeutic options, likely to reduce the number of patients reaching the stage of end-stage renal failure. Among these advances, inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransport type II (iSGLT2), glucagon like peptide-1 analogues and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists occupy a central place, in addition to conventional strategies, such as hygienic-dietary measures and blockers of the renin-angiotensin-aldos

[Obstructive apnea hypopnea syndrome in pregnancy].

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) in pregnant women is an under-diagnosed but common condition, due to the numerous physiological changes favoring upper airway collapse. Risk factors such as significant weight gain during the 1st trimester, maternal age and parity should be systematically investigated. Diagnosis is made by sleep recording. OSA can lead to maternal and fetal complications (gestational diabetes, eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, prematurity…) during pregnancy, delivery and the post-partum period. It is therefore essential to treat apneic patients as early

The Potency of Invisalign® in Class II Malocclusion in Adults: A Narrative Review.

In recent years, a greater number of adult patients are seeking orthodontic treatment, not only for esthetics but for better functioning and hygiene purposes.

This abstract is a multifaceted interplay between Invisalign® and different treatments of class II malocclusion, which embarks on the potency of Invisalign® in treating this condition in adult patients. The review delves into analyzing the efficacy of Invisalign® in molar distalization, class II elastics, extraction treatmen…

Peritoneal Dialysis Zoonotic Bacterial Peritonitis with Staphylococcus pseudintermedius.

We present the first reported case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis caused by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, an organism that had been misclassified as S. aureus in the past. S. pseudintermedius is well recognized in the veterinary literature and noted as flora in the mouth, nares, and anus of domesticated animals. It has been associated with soft tissue infections in pets and is now being reported in increased frequency as the causative agent in various human infections. It also has a different antibiotic sensitivity profile. The patient had close contact with her pet dog and w

Giant Dental Calculus: A Rare Case Report and Review.

Inadequate oral hygiene is the root cause of the initiation and establishment of the periodontal disease. Dental calculus serves as plaque retentive area, thereby contributing to gingivitis and periodontitis. The present unusual case is of a 55-year-old female patient reported to the department of periodontology with a chief complaint of hard deposit at the right maxillary and mandibular posterior region. The patient was found to have very heavy calculus deposition with respect to right maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth, and the patient was using the left side for mastication and avoidi…

Eugenics, medicine and psychiatry in Peru.

Eugenics was defined by Galton as 'the science which deals with all influences that improve the inborn qualities of a race'. In Peru, eugenics was related to social medicine and mental hygiene, in accordance with the neo-Lamarckian orientation, that predominated in Latin America. Peruvian eugenists assumed the mission of fighting hereditary and infectious diseases, malnutrition, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, criminality and everything that threatened the future of the 'Peruvian race'. There were some enthusiastic advocates of 'hard' eugenic measures, such as forced sterilization an…

Establishment of the Ivermectin Research for Malaria Elimination Network: updating the research agenda.

The potential use of ivermectin as an additional vector control tool is receiving increased attention from the malaria elimination community, driven by the increased importance of outdoor/residual malaria transmission and the threat of insecticide resistance where vector tools have been scaled-up. This report summarizes the emerging evidence presented at a side meeting on "Ivermectin for malaria elimination: current status and future directions" at the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in New Orleans on November 4, 2014. One outcome was the creation of the…

Gingival recession associated with noncarious cervical lesions: combined periodontal-restorative approach and the treatment of long-term esthetic complications.

Buccal gingival recession is a prevalent problem in populations with a high standard of oral hygiene and is often associated with noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs), leading to the need for a combined periodontal-restorative approach for better esthetic and functional results. In the literature, resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) restorations associated with periodontal surgery have been shown to achieve significant root coverage and reduction of dentin sensitivity; however, changes to the color of some of those restorations have been observed, which could compromise esthetics. Therefore, th…

[Scientific and methodological rationale for the pathomorphism of Lamblia infection in children during chemical contamination of the biosphere].

The paper analyzes the clinical and laboratory features of Lamblia infection in children living under long-term low-dose chemical load. The scientific search methodology comprised the meticulous examination of the patients randomized by the presence or absence of protozoonosis and the statistical processing and expert analysis of the results. The comprehensive approach could define the main signs of the pathomorphism of lambliosis in the areas with high anthropogenic loads and identify immunological disorders, intoxication, and hepatobiliary dysfunctions. The impact of environmentally induced

The paper presents data on demodicosis-induced blepharoconjunctivitis complicated by the dry eye, such as predictors, etiology, and pathogenesis of this disease. It gives a concise outline of the life history of mites and their species parasitizing on the human skin cycle and an extended treatment regimen for blepharoconjunctivitis complicated by the dry eye. The time course of changes in the pathological signs of blepharitis is shown when the latter is treated using the given regimen and the treatment is discontinued. The authors provide the data of Schirmer's test and Norn's test, which have
