Abstract

ObjectiveTo assess the separate and combined associations of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain with the risks of pregnancy complications and their population impact.DesignIndividual participant data meta-analysis of 39 cohorts.SettingEurope, North America, and Oceania.Population265 270 births.MethodsInformation on maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain, and pregnancy complications was obtained. Multilevel binary logistic regression models were used.Main outcome measuresGestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, small and large for gestational age at birth.ResultsHigher maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain were, across their full ranges, associated with higher risks of gestational hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, and large for gestational age at birth. Preterm birth risk was higher at lower and higher BMI and weight gain. Compared with normal weight mothers with medium gestational weight gain, obese mothers with high gestational weight gain had the highest risk of any pregnancy complication (odds ratio 2.51, 95% CI 2.31- 2.74). We estimated that 23.9% of any pregnancy complication was attributable to maternal overweight/obesity and 31.6% of large for gestational age infants was attributable to excessive gestational weight gain.ConclusionsMaternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain are, across their full ranges, associated with risks of pregnancy complications. Obese mothers with high gestational weight gain are at the highest risk of pregnancy complications. Promoting a healthy pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain may reduce the burden of pregnancy complications and ultimately the risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity.Tweetable abstractPromoting a healthy body mass index and gestational weight gain might reduce the population burden of pregnancy complications.

Abstract

Objectives: The symptoms of herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV‐1) infections might be severe and persistent in immunocompromised patients in whom they reactivate at a high frequency. The development of Acyclovir (ACV) resistant strains due to long‐term treatment with antiviral agents in those patients is not uncommon. The aim of the present study was to assess the virucidal effect of commercially available mouthwashes against ACV‐resistant HSV‐1 strains. Materials and Methods: Two acyclovir‐resistant HSV‐1 strains were exposed for 30 s to essential oil‐based (Listerine Fresh Burst® and Listerine Zero®), chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% (Hexidyl®) and povidone‐iodine 7.5% (Betadine Gargle®) mouthwashes. Loss of virus infectivity was determined by means of plaque reduction assays in a cell culture system. Results: All 4 of the tested solutions significantly reduced virus infectivity, with the essential oil‐based and povidone‐iodine mouthwashes being slightly more efficacious, compared to chlorhexidine. Conclusion: The findings of this analysis revealed that the tested oral rinses demonstrated in‐vitro antiviral activity against ACV‐resistant HSV. Comparative clinical trials are required to establish the clinical effectiveness of daily use of oral rinses in reducing the appearance of oral HSV lesions in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract

We report on the electrical and magneto-transport properties of the contact formed between polycrystalline NiMnSb thin films grown using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and n-type degenerate InSb (100) substrates. A negative giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect is observed when the external magnetic field is parallel to the surface of the film and to the current direction. We attribute the observed phenomenon to magnetic precipitates formed during the magnetic film deposition and confined to a narrow layer at the interface. The effect of these precipitates on the magnetoresistance depends on the thermal processing of the system., Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures

Abstract

Objective: Identify the disease-causing mutation in a patient with features of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, which is a genetic disorder characterized by hypodontia, hypohidrosis and hypotrichosis. It is caused by mutations in Ectodysplasin A gene, which encodes ectodysplasin A, a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily. Design: Genetic analysis, was performed using chromosomal microarray analysis, whole exome sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification analysis in a 4-year-old boy with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia features. Moreover, the boy's parents were tested for clinically significant findings identified in order to elucidate the pattern of inheritance of the finding detected in the proband. Results: A novel deletion of entire exon 4 in Ectodysplasin A gene identified in the 4-year-old patient. This deletion was found in heterozygous state in the mother of the proband and was not detected in his father. RNA analysis revealed an in-frame deletion r.527_706del, p.(176_236del) in exon 4 of the Ectodysplasin A gene. Conclusion: We identified a novel gross deletion in the Ectodysplasin A gene in a male patient with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Clinical and molecular genetic analysis are crucial to set an accurate diagnosis in patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. These results highlight the importance of the collagen domain of Ectodysplasin A, encoded by exon 4, for its function in vivo. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

Abstract

Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients represents a treatment challenge. Most studies investigating drugs against NP are conducted in patients suffering with diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia, while data are limited in cancer pain management. Additionally, regarding cancer therapy-related NP, most of the studies do not focus on HNC patients. The aim of this review is to identify the studies on systematically administered medication for NP management that included HNC patients under radiotherapy. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov on 30 October 2021. The medical subject heading (MeSH) terms were (“head and neck cancer” OR “tumor”) AND “neuropathic pain” AND “medication” AND “radiotherapy.” The Cochrane Collaboration tool was used for quality assessment. Results: The search identified 432 articles. Three more articles were identified after searching the reference lists of the retrieved articles. A total of 10 articles met the eligibility inclusion criteria and were included in this review; 6 on gabapentin, 1 on pregabalin, 1 on nortriptyline, 1 on methadone, and 1 on ketamine. Statistically significant results in pain reduction compared to placebo or standard pain medication were found in the studies on pregabalin (p = 0.003), methadone (p = 0.03), ketamine (p = 0.012), and in two out of six gabapentin studies (p < 0.004). Two of the studies (both concerning gabapentin) had no comparison arm. Conclusions: Treatments including pregabalin, methadone, ketamine, and gabapentin were found to provide pain relief against HNC NP. While there is a plethora of pharmacological treatments available for the management of NP, only a few studies have been conducted regarding the pharmacological management of therapy-related NP in HNC patients.

Abstract

Background: The present study aims to define through questionnaires the frequency and the variety of accidental incidents occurring in orthodontic clinical practice among Greek practicing orthodontists. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among orthodontists from the registry of orthodontists in Greece. The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first part involved three questions relating to the socio-demographic status and the background of the orthodontist, and the second part concerned exclusively the frequency of accidental incidents that have occurred during clinical practice with three possible answers: never, once, more than once. Results: From the 200 initially distributed questionnaires, 124 were finally completed and sent back (response rate: 62%). The results showed that orthodontists with more years of clinical practice had faced more accidental incidents. Among the ingestion incidents caused by foreign objects, the most frequently occurring was the ingestion of elastic separators, followed by the ingestion of elastic ligatures and ingestion of hooks. The most commonly reported traumatic incidents were the trauma-lesion of the mucosa by the orthodontic wire or part of it, followed by trauma-lesion by hooks and wire ligatures. The reported number of incidents with further complications and with patients referred to an emergency room was very low. Conclusions: The results of the present study determined a high frequency of accidental incidents among Greek orthodontists. The longer clinical experience was accompanied by more accidental incidents. Orthodontists, like other health professionals, must learn and continuously update their knowledge regarding the management protocols of medical emergencies. © 2022 by the authors.

Abstract

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) of the oral mucosa is a rare histopathologic subtype of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which shares morphologic similarities with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), non-keratinizing undifferentiated subtype. The admixture of neoplastic epithelial tumor cells and a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate makes microscopic diagnosis challenging. LEC etiopathogenesis has been variably associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection, depending on the specific anatomic location and racial predilection, with a higher incidence in endemic populations. Although described in several subsites of the head and neck region, including the major salivary glands, the oral mucosa is considered an infrequent location for LEC development, deriving either from minor salivary glands (MSGs) or the surface epithelium. Herein, we report a rare case of an EBV-negative LEC arising from the oral surface epithelium, presenting as gingival swelling, and review the pertinent English-language literature, which revealed only 26 previously reported oral LECs. Our case is only the fourth oral LEC originating from the surface epithelium and the first one to affect the gingiva. © 2022 by the authors.

Abstract

Aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus species, which is contracted through spores that colonize the respiratory tract, causing rhinosinusitis and pulmonary infections. Oral aspergillosis is rare and, when present, may cause soft tissue and bone destruction, generally in immunodeficient patients. Mandibular Aspergillus osteomyelitis is even rarer, with few cases reported in the literature. A 57-year-old Caucasian woman was referred for the evaluation of painful recurrent swelling in the anterior mandibular alveolar ridge, with purulent drainage, previously treated with multiple surgical debridement procedures and antibiotics without success. The patient was otherwise systemically healthy. Surgical debridement was performed and histopathological examination showed osteomyelitis associated with Aspergillus species. Therapy with oral itraconazole (400 mg per day) was administered for 3 months, resulting in complete resolution. No recurrence was detected after 15 years of follow-up. The patient was rehabilitated with dental implants. In conclusion, non-bacterial microorganisms, such as Aspergillus, should be considered in cases of mandibular osteomyelitis that do not heal after surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. © 2022 by the authors.

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate any biochemical and histological changes of the rat condyle and mandible in animals that had sustained mandibular growth restriction. Seventy-two male Wistar rats were divided into two equal groups, experimental and control. Each group consisted of three equal subgroups. The animals were sacrificed 30, 60, and 90 days after the start of the experiment. Blood samples were collected from the eye, and the osteoprotegerin (OPG), Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL), and Macrophage Colony-Stimulating factor (MCSF)concentrations were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. A histological analysis was performed on the mandibular condyles. The blood serum values of OPG, RANKL, and MCSF did not exhibit any statistically significant difference between groups or subgroups. However, significant histological changes became evident after a histomorphometric condylar examination was performed. The Bone Surface/Total Surface ratio appeared reduced in the anterior and posterior regions of the condyle. In addition, the Posterior Condylar Cartilage Thickness was measured and determined to be significantly diminished. The present intervention that employed orthodontic/orthopedic devices did not prove to have any significant effect on the circulating proteins under study. Posterior displacement of the mandible may culminate only in local histological alterations in condylar cartilage thickness and its osseous microarchitecture. © 2022 by the authors.

Abstract

Pazopanib is a potent multi-kinase inhibitor that hinders angiogenesis and blocks tumor growth. It has been approved for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and advanced soft tissue sarcoma. There is emerging evidence that bleeding is a common adverse effect of pazopanib and other targeted therapies in patients with mRCC. In addition, jaw osteonecrosis related to pazopanib was recently described in the literature. We report three cases of patients with mRCC who developed adverse oral events related to pazopanib. The first patient, treated with pazopanib as monotherapy, presented with gingival bleeding and oral burning sensation. The other two patients receiving pazopanib as monotherapy and pazopanib followed by sunitinib, respectively, presented complaining about mandibular pain; a diagnosis of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) was rendered in both cases. Gingival bleeding and MRONJ may develop as oral side effects of pazopanib use. The cases presented here aim to alert and inform health care professionals about the risk of adverse oral events in patients with mRCC receiving the antiangiogenic agent pazopanib. © 2022 by the authors.

Abstract

Background: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health sciences is becoming increasingly popular among doctors nowadays. This study evaluated the literature regarding the use of AI for CBCT airway analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review that examines the performance of artificial intelligence in CBCT airway analysis. Methods: Electronic databases and the reference lists of the relevant research papers were searched for published and unpublished literature. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias evaluation were all carried out independently and twice. Finally, five articles were chosen. Results: The results suggested a high correlation between the automatic and manual airway measurements indicating that the airway measurements may be automatically and accurately calculated from CBCT images. Conclusions: According to the present literature, automatic airway segmentation can be used for clinical purposes. The main key findings of this systematic review are that the automatic airway segmentation is accurate in the measurement of the airway and, at the same time, appears to be fast and easy to use. However, the present literature is really limited, and more studies in the future providing high-quality evidence are needed. © 2022 by the authors.

Abstract

Background/Aim: Male breast cancer (MBC) is a very rare disorder affecting approximately 1 in 833 men. Genetic predisposition is one of the most important risk factors of MBC with BRCA2 being the most commonly mutated gene in males diagnosed with breast cancer. However, a large part of MBC heritability is still unexplained. This study sought to add to the data already available on the genetics of MBC. Materials and Methods: Our study initially involved comprehensive analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2, followed by analysis of 43 genes implicated in cancer predisposition in a series of 100 Greek patients diagnosed with MBC between 1995-2015. Results: Pathogenic variants were identified in 13 patients, with BRCA2 being the most commonly affected gene, followed by BRCA1, RAD50, RAD51B, and MSH3. Conclusion: In agreement with previous reports, BRCA2 is the most important genetic factor of MBC predisposition, while the remaining known cancer predisposition genes are each very rarely involved, rendering conclusions as to their cumulative effect difficult to draw. © 2022 International Institute of Anticancer Research.

Abstract

Background: The regenerative potential of platelet lysate (PL) and platelet gel (PG) is mediated by the release of platelets (PLTs) growth factors. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the PL production utilizing low volume single Cord Blood Units (CBUs) and the comparison of the biomolecule content between PLs obtained from intermediate and high volume CBUs. Methods: CBUs (n = 90) with volumes greater than 50 ml and initial platelet count > 150 × 109/L were used. CBUs were classified into the following groups: group A (50–80 ml), group B (81–110 ml) and group C (111–150 ml). The CBUs were centrifuged twice for the production of the platelet concentrate (PC), which was stored at − 80 °C for at least 48 h. Then, rapidly thawed and the biomolecule content was determined using commercial ELISA kits. The regenerative potential of PLs was evaluated using the scratch wound and in vitro angiogenesis assay. Results: CBPL was produced from low volume single CBUs and contained 3.4 ± 0.3 ×109 PLTs. PL obtained from intermediate and high volume CBUs consisted of 10.2 ± 0.3 and 16.1 ± 0.4 × 109 PLTs. All PL groups were characterized by high biomolecule content. Gap closure was observed within 72 h after the wound assay initiation and the capillary tubes were formed in all study groups. Conclusion: This study provided significant evidence regarding the utilization of the low volume CBUs for the production of CB derivatives, thus can serve as healing mediators in regenerative medicine approaches. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd

Abstract

Lymphoma is the second most common malignancy in the head and neck area, affecting both nodal and extranodal sites, including oral soft and hard tissues, usually in the form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). However, lymphomas of the jaws, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common type of NHL, are very rare and may cause significant diagnostic challenges resembling common jaw pathologies, such as periapical lesions, osteomyelitis and osteonecrosis. The aim of this paper is to present a rare case of DLBCL in an 84-years-old diabetic male patient on methylprednisolone treatment for autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The lesion appeared clinically as exposed necrotic bone of the maxilla with surrounding soft tissue ulceration and radiographically as an extensive osteolytic lesion with ill-defined borders. Despite the resemblance of the lesion with osteonecrosis or osteomyelitis that could be theoretically related to diabetes and/or systemic use of corticosteroids, histopathologic examination, necessitating a repeat biopsy in order to acquire sufficient tissue, revealed the final diagnosis of lymphoma. The need for increased clinical awareness and vigilance of this possible diagnostic conundrum is emphasized. © 2022, Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry. All Rights Reserved.
