photophobia/dental caries

Optical-feedback cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy is demonstrated in the mid-IR by using a quantum cascade laser (emitting at 4.46 μm). The laser linewidth reduction and frequency locking by selective optical feedback from the resonant cavity field turns out to be particularly advantageous in

The development of fibre optic light probes of small diameter has led to interest in their use as an alternative to radiographs in diagnosing approximal caries. Fifty-four children were included in the present study. Radiographic diagnosis of approximal caries in primary molars was compared with

Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), also known as Williams syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder involving cardiovascular problems, mental retardation, distinctive facial features and tooth anomalies. It is caused by the submicroscopic deletion of 1.5 to 1.8 Mb on chromosome 7q11.23. This paper

Xerostomia is defined as dry mouth due to reduced salivary flow.¹ As a result of this, patients may have decreased efficiency in chewing and swallowing and an increased risk of dental disease, such as dental caries (i.e., dental decay).¹ Xerostomia may be caused by medications,

Actinic prurigo is a rare form of light sensitivity not previously described with hypodontia in the dental literature. The purpose of this report was to describe both the medical and dental management of a 12-year-old boy presenting with actinic prurigo, hypodontia, crowding, caries, and tooth

Otitis media, acute or chronic, is a potentially dangerous disease which may lead to fatal complications. Meningitis is the most common intracranial complication, followed by otogenic brain abscesses while lateral sinus thrombosis is fairly uncommon. Mortality from otogenic brain abscesses remains

BACKGROUND Osteomas are benign tumours located within bones or developing on them (1). The incidence of osteomas is as follows: frontal, ethmoid and maxillary, while they are extremely rare in the sphenoid sinus (2). Most often they are localized on sutures, and extremely rarely on occipital squama

In light-activated liposomal drug delivery systems (DDSs), the light sensitivity can be obtained by a photothermal agent that converts light energy into heat. Excess heat increases the drug permeability of the lipid bilayer, and drug is released as a result. In this work, two near-IR responsive

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare lymphoma originating from B-cells with terminal differentiation. Most common anatomic site involved by PBL is the oral cavity. Involvement of other body sites has only rarely been reported. Herein, we report a rare case of EBV-negative PBL involving the breast

BACKGROUND Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune bullous disease characterized by blistering and erosions within skin and mucous membranes. Lesions appear most commonly on mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity. Ocular involvement in patients with PV has rarely been reported. METHODS A 47-year-old male

Herein, we report a case of nasal natural killer T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) with intraocular involvement. A 57-year-old woman was referred due to a three-day history of photophobia and diplopia in the left eye. One-month previously, she was diagnosed with nasal NKTL of the right nasal cavity. Ophthalmic

Most catalases are inactivated by light in a heme-sensitized and O2-dependent reaction. In leaves of the alpine plant Homogyne alpina and in the peroxisomal cores of Helianthus annuus, light-insensitive catalases were observed. For the catalases Hacat1 of H. alpina and HnncatA3 of H. annuus, cDNA

OBJECTIVE To further characterize the clinical utility of AVP-825 based on additional prespecified outcomes and post hoc analyses of COMPASS, a Phase 3 comparative efficacy trial of AVP-825 vs 100 mg oral sumatriptan (NCT01667679). AVP-825 was approved in January 2016 by the US Food and Drug
