What Causes Pulmonary Edema?
Discussion
Pulmonary edema is a potentially life threatening condition due to accumulation of excess fluid in the alveolar spaces and walls of the lung.
Patients show increased respiratory effort or distress (e.g. tachypnea, dyspnea or difficulty talking, use of excessory muscles, nasal flaring, tracheal tugging, etc.) and clinicians should beware signs of tiring (e.g. bradypnea and decreased effort) as the patient may be failing. Patients may have rales or rhonchi on pulmonary examination, and pallor or color changes may be noted. Blood gas analysis shows evidence of hypoxemia and often hypercapnia depending on the severi...

Artificial Intelligence in Identifying Dental Implant Systems on Radiographs
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 May-Jun;43(3):363-368.1AbstractHealth care is entering a new era where data mining is applied to artificial intelligence. The number of dental implant systems has been increasing worldwide. Patient mobility from different dental offices can make identification of implants for clinicians extremely challenging if there are no past available records, and it would be advantageous to use a reliable tool to identify the various implant system designs in the same practice, as there is a great need for identifying the systems in the field of periodontology and restorative dentis...

How is Osgood-Schlatter Apophysitis Treated?
Discussion
An apopysis is a secondary ossification center located at the tendinous insertion into a bone. Site irritation is called apophysitis and several proposed causes include genetics, rapid growth, trauma (compression or traction), anatomical differences and diet. Whatever the etiological factors, it causes pain. Examples include Sever’s disease of the calcaneus.
Anterior knee pain is a common presenting problem in the pediatric age group, and the differential diagnosis is broad. Trauma, infection, tumors, and referred pain need to be considered but soft tissue problems tend to predominate if not a traumatic ca...

UNISON condemns government plans to X-ray children seeking asylum
UNISON members working in health have spoken out against government plans to X-ray children seeking asylum in the UK in order to confirm their age.
Chair of UNISON’s science, therapy and technical occupational group Gemma Jones said the plans “break the code of conduct of radiography staff and their legal duties for radiation protection by instructing them to expose vulnerable individuals to ionising radiation without consent and without any medical need, for a procedure that is not reliable to determine age.”
Ms Jones also said the proposal “seeks to make healthcare staff complicit in the government’s cruelty....

What Causes Parotitis?
Discussion
The salivary glands are important for creating saliva which helps with taste, digestion, oral health, and speech. Salivary gland problems are not that common but can be painful, annoying or herald potential systemic diseases. The parotid gland is the largest salivary gland lying anterior to the ear within the cheek structures. There are 2 lobes (superficial and deep) and the facial nerve runs between them. The salivary duct opens adjacent to the upper second molar. Infections are the most common cause of parotitis with mumps being the most commonly associated infection especially in unimmunized patients.
