Abstract Background While hand and ultrasonic scalers are the primary tools used for the removal of dental calculus in periodontal treatment, many studies have shown that they also damage the enamel surface. We have developed a novel actuator-driven pulsed water jet (ADPJ) system, which has the ability to selectively remove materials depending on their stiffness. Considering the different material properties between teeth and...

ABSTRACT This study reports 6‐month follow‐up hearing results and graft take rate of 72 patients diagnosed with simple chronic otitis media receiving transcanal endoscopic tympanoplasty with porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) xenograft (Biodesign). This xerograft eliminates donor site morbidity and reduces the operation time of graft harvesting. Hence, SIS provides a relatively convenient and time‐saving method to pursue a tissue graft for perforations repair. Results showed an overall success...

The prevalence of diabetes omplications is a significant public health problem with a considerable economic cost. Thus, the timely diagnosis of complications and prevention of their development will contribute to increasing the length and quality of patient life, and reducing the economic costs of their treatment. This article aims to review the current state‐of‐the‐art biophotonics technologies used to identify the complications of diabetes mellitus and assess the quality of their treatment. Additionally,...

Abstract Potocki–Lupski Syndrome (PTLS, MIM 610883), or duplication of chromosome 17p11.2, is a clinically recognizable condition characterized by infantile hypotonia, failure to thrive, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and congenital anomalies. Short stature, classified as greater than two standard deviations below the mean, has not previously been considered a major feature of PTLS. Retrospective chart review on a cohort of 37 individuals with PTLS was performed to investigate the...

Abstract Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare multisystem ribosomal biogenesis disorder characterized by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, hematologic abnormalities and bony abnormalities. About 90% of patients have biallelic mutations in SBDS gene. Three additional genes—EFL1, DNAJC21 and SRP54 have been reported in association with a SDS phenotype. However, the cause remains unknown for ~10% of patients. Herein, we report a 6‐year‐old Chinese boy, who presented in the neonatal period...

Abstract Heterozygous variants in the DYNC1H1 gene have been associated chiefly with intellectual disability (ID), malformations in cortical development (MCD), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and Charcot–Marie‐Tooth axonal type 20 (CMT), with fewer reports describing other intersecting phenotypes. To better characterize the variable syndromes associated with DYNC1H1 , we undertook a detailed analysis of reported patients in the medical literature through June 30, 2019. In sum we identified 200 patients...

Keratitis treatment outcome is usually dependent on the targeted treatment of the cause. We want to present a small corneal ulcer of unidentified origin that progressed into corneal melting and resulted in corneal perforation. The patient had a widespread antibacterial and fungal treatment and an ophthalmological follow-up with slit-lamp examination and AS-OCT. The spontaneous iris plug in the cornea helped to solve the anterior chamber collapse and made permanent anatomical changes in the anterior...

Abstract Aim To examine the effectiveness of omalizumab on disease activity and quality of life in patients with cholinergic urticaria (CholU). Further, a systematic review of the literature was performed to identify all studies of use of omalizumab in CholU. Results A total of 23 patients (63.9%) were refractory to updosed non‐sedating antihistamines and initiated omalizumab in the observation period. Among these, an improvement of 10.8 UAS7 points (4.6‐17.0), p=0.002, was seen at 6 months...
