Importance of professional oral hygiene for prevention of aspiration pneumonia caused by progressive central nervous system disorders in Type 2 Gaucher disease
We present here the case of an infant male with Type 2 GD (GD2). GD2 is clinically characterized by precocious and rapid neurological degeneration comprising brainstem involvement associated with hepatosplenomegaly, pulmonary and hematological involvements, and death will be in infancy or early childhood. We performed professional oral hygiene on a patient with GD2, and we contributed to the communication between the patient and his family. Here we report on the oral cavity features in GD2 and how our experience can contribute to the prevention of aspiration pneumonia. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Me...

Comparison of the effectiveness of pain control with two regimens of acetaminophen following uncomplicated intra-alveolar extraction: Olawole W.O1, Okoje V.N1, Ibikunle A.A2, Arotiba J.T1
This study compared the effectiveness of post-extraction pain control using two regimens of paracetamol. Subjects were randomly distributed into two groups; subjects in group A had postoperative oral administration of acetaminophen 1 g 2 h after the extraction and then 1 g every 8 h for 24 h, while subjects in group B had extended postoperative oral administration of acetaminophen. Thereafter, subjects recorded their postoperative pain experiences. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 20. Level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Data from 200 subjects were analyze...

Intraparotid lymph node toxoplasmosis diagnosis by fine needle aspiration cytology
This study presents a case of intraparotid lymph node toxoplasmosis diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology presenting bradyzoite- and tachyzoite-compatible structures associated with serology assays. After diagnosis, treatment comprised a triple antimicrobial scheme and follow-up for six months, and the patient reached total regression. Thus, it is concluded that FNAC associated to serology assays comprise adequate tools for toxoplasmosis diagnoses. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and Pathology)
