Citrobacter freundii induces sepsis with new-onset status seizure in an adult: A case report and literature review. [Review]
RATIONALE: Sepsis with brain abscess induced by Citrobacter freundii in adults has rarely been reported and is extremely pathogenic with a high mortality rate. Early diagnosis of the infection still remains challenging. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 27-year-old woman was transferred to our emergency department for fever, status seizure and refractory hypotension. Administration of midazolam, propofol and sodium valproate could not attenuate the seizure except for the addition of vecuronium. The blood white blood cell count was 42.91 (109/L) with 80% neutrophils, and procalcitonin was 22.46ng/mL. DIAGNOSES: Both deoxyribonucleic acid...

Comparison of five single-file systems in the preparation of severely curved root canals: an ex vivo study
Published: 28 December 2022 BMC Oral Health volume 22, Article number: 649 (2022) Cite this article Abstract Background The ex vivo study is to compare the root canal preparation outcomes achieved by five nickel–titanium single-file instrumentation systems (M3-L, Reciproc Blue, V-Taper 2H, WaveOne Gold, XP-endo Shaper) in severely curved molar root canals. Methods A total of 60 root canals were selected from extracted human molar teeth with curvatures ranging from 25° to 50° and divided into five groups based on the instrumentation system employed (n = 12). Before and after root canal preparation, a Micro-CT ...
