Asymptomatic fixed partial denture aspiration: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is more frequently presented in children and considered a rare presentation in adults. One of the most common causes of FBA in adults are orthodontic appliances.

Case presentation

We present a case of a 70-year-old male with an accidently discovered fixed partial denture (bridge) in the right mainstem bronchus. The partial denture was removed successfully by flexible bronchoscopy.

Clinical discussion

FBA is an event that most frequently occurs with children, and rarely with adults having various risk factors and complications on patients.

Conclusion

This study aims to spotlight the danger of asymptomatic FBA and how retrieving sharp objects can be managed by flexible bronchoscopy thus leading to better management and increased awareness of such cases.

Manufacturing of an immediate removable partial denture with an intraoral scanner and CAD-CAM technology: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundIncisor loss constitutes a strong aesthetic and psychologic traumatism for the patient and it remains a challenging situation for the dental practitioner because of the necessity to rapidly replace the lacking tooth. Various therapeutic procedures have been proposed to replace the incisor concerned, for example by using a removable partial denture. However, the manufacturing of such a denture with classical procedures is often subject to processing errors and inaccuracies. The computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology could represent a good alternative, but it is currently difficult because of the lack of dental softwares able to design easily immediate removable partial dentures.Case presentationA 30-year- patient complained about pain caused by a horizontally and vertically mobile maxillary right central incisor. After all options were presented, extraction of the traumatized incisor was decided due to its very poor prognosis, and the patient selected the realization of a removable denture for economic reasons. The present paper proposes an innovative procedure for immediate removable denture, based on the use of an intraoral scanner, CAD with two different softwares used sequentially, and CAM with a 5-axis machine.ConclusionsWe show in this report that associating an intraoral scanner and CAD-CAM technology can be extended to immediate dentures manufacturing, which could be a valuable procedure for dental practitioners and laboratories, and also for patients.

Asymptomatic central pontine myelinolysis: a case report.

Project description:IntroductionCentral pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is an acquired demyelinating lesion of the basis pontis that typically occurs after rapid correction of hyponatremia. There are only a few reported cases of patients without symptoms that have demonstrated CPM on imaging.Case presentationWe report the case of a 26-year-old Hispanic male with history of alcohol abuse who was transferred to our medical center for acute onset diffuse abdominal pain. During his work up, a computed tomography scan demonstrated a large pancreatic mass. He underwent an endoscopic guided biopsy which demonstrated a rare and aggressive natural killer T cell lymphoma. His laboratory values were consistent with hyponatremia, which the medical team gently corrected. An MRI was performed for staging purposes which revealed findings consistent with CPM. A full neurological exam demonstrated no deficits.Materials and methodsWE CONDUCTED A PUBMED SEARCH USING THE FOLLOWING KEYWORDS: asymptomatic, central, pontine, and myelinolysis in order to find other case reports of asymptomatic CPM.ResultsOf the 29 results, only 6 previous case reports with English language abstracts of asymptomatic CPM were present since 1995.ConclusionDespite slow correction of hyponatremia, CPM can be an important consequence, especially in patients with chronic alcoholism. Although this patient did not demonstrate any neurological deficits, the fact that there were changes seen on MRI should caution physicians in aggressively treating hyponatremia. Furthermore, if there is a decision to treat, then fluid restriction and reversal of precipitating factors (i.e. diuretics) should be used initially, unless there is concern for hypovolemia.

Partial denture metal framework may harbor potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Project description:PurposeThe aim of this study was to characterize and compare bacterial diversity on the removable partial denture (RPD) framework over time.Materials and methodsThis descriptive pilot study included five women who were rehabilitated with free-end mandibular RPD. The biofilm on T-bar clasps were collected 1 week (t1) and 4 months (t2) after the RPD was inserted (t0). Bacterial 16S rDNA was extracted and PCR amplified. Amplicons were cloned; clones were submitted to cycle sequencing, and sequences were compared with GenBank (98% similarity).ResultsA total of 180 sequences with more than 499 bp were obtained. Two phylogenetic trees with 84 (t1) and 96 (t2) clones represented the bacteria biofilm at the RPD. About 93% of the obtained phylotypes fell into 25 known species for t1 and 17 for t2, which were grouped in 5 phyla: Firmicutes (t1=82%; t2=60%), Actinobacteria (t1=5%; t2=10%), Bacteroidetes (t1=2%; t2=6%), Proteobacteria (t1=10%; t2=15%) and Fusobacteria (t1=1%; t2=8%). The libraries also include 3 novel phylotypes for t1 and 11 for t2. Library t2 differs from t1 (P=.004); t1 is a subset of the t2 (P=.052). Periodontal pathogens, such as F. nucleatum, were more prevalent in t2.ConclusionThe biofilm composition of the RPD metal clasps changed along time after RPD wearing. The RPD framework may act as a reservoir for potentially pathogenic bacteria and the RPD wearers may benefit from regular follow-up visits and strategies on prosthesis-related oral health instructions.

An ontology-driven, case-based clinical decision support model for removable partial denture design.

Project description:We present the initial work toward developing a clinical decision support model for specific design of removable partial dentures (RPDs) in dentistry. We developed an ontological paradigm to represent knowledge of a patient's oral conditions and denture component parts. During the case-based reasoning process, a cosine similarity algorithm was applied to calculate similarity values between input patients and standard ontology cases. A group of designs from the most similar cases were output as the final results. To evaluate this model, the output designs of RPDs for 104 randomly selected patients were compared with those selected by professionals. An area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) was created by plotting true-positive rates against the false-positive rate at various threshold settings. The precision at position 5 of the retrieved cases was 0.67 and at the top of the curve it was 0.96, both of which are very high. The mean average of precision (MAP) was 0.61 and the normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG) was 0.74 both of which confirmed the efficient performance of our model. All the metrics demonstrated the efficiency of our model. This methodology merits further research development to match clinical applications for designing RPDs. This paper is organized as follows. After the introduction and description of the basis for the paper, the evaluation and results are presented in Section 2. Section 3 provides a discussion of the methodology and results. Section 4 describes the details of the ontology, similarity algorithm, and application.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Unsuspected foreign-body aspiration in adult patient with status asthmaticus: Case report.

Project description:Introduction:Accidental foreign body aspiration can cause severe damage to the airway and threaten the patient's life. This situation requires multidisciplinary and systematic approach from the medical and surgical team, in order to achieve complete resolution maintaining airway permeability. Presentation of case:This is a 49 y/o man who presented with a severe asthma attack, in whom an unsuspected foreign body in the inferior airway was diagnosed, which was possibly the result of aspiration during the initial emergency care, causing worsening of the already critical condition. Discussion:We described the clinical course, radiologic and endoscopic findings, and outcome of the patient, highlighting the importance of considering the possibility of a foreign body in the airway, when there is no improvement in refractory status asthmaticus. This is particularly important in a university hospital. Moreover, the implementation of checklists when invasive procedures are performed can avoid loss of material, preventing iatrogenic aspiration events. Conclusion:Foreign body aspirations may remain undetected due to lack of suspicion, especially in adults, in whom they can cause chronic symptoms, or worsen chronic respiratory conditions turning them into more complex diseases. This cause must be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory status asthmaticus.
