chills/dental caries

This paper, after presenting a brief case for the relevance of root caries to today's practitioner, describes the differing diagnostic needs of clinical practitioners and clinical researchers. The goal is to inform the clinician of the state-of-the-art that exists today for the diagnosis of root

Nine case histories and references to published reports are used to illustrate the manifestations and management of pleural effusions, lung nodules and lung cavities which may occur in cases of rheumatoid disease. Repeated aspiration of effusions seldom is useful. They often are chronic and

BACKGROUND Oral health plays a vital role in people's general health and well-being. With regard to the costly treatments of oral diseases, preventive programs need to be designed for dental caries based on children's perspectives. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe and explore

Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is an infectious disease characterized by proliferative vascular lesions; it mainly affects HIV-positive patients. Multiple cutaneous nodular lesions together with fever, chills, malaise, anorexia, vomiting and headache are the most important clinical manifestations. It

Autologous lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells and recombinant human interleukin-2 (rIL-2) were administered intraperitoneally (IP) to 24 patients with malignancies limited to the peritoneal space. Ten patients had ovarian cancer, 12 had colorectal cancer, and one patient each had endometrial

BACKGROUND Brain and eye hydatid cysts are early symptomatic, as opposed to those developing in other organs, including lungs, where they remain asymptomatic through adolescence, even to adulthood, due to their slow growth. Hence, discovering that patients have lung hydatid cyst occurs, frequently,

OBJECTIVE To compare the postpartum uterine activity and side effects of various doses of sublingual misoprostol and intramuscular oxytocin. METHODS Single centre, randomised trial. METHODS Zliten Teaching Hospital in Libya. METHODS Forty-nine women who did not receive oxytocics in labour and who

A feasibility study was conducted for a sensitive and robust dye immersion method for the measurement of container closure integrity of unopened prefilled syringes using fluorescence spectrophotometry as the detection method. A Varian Cary Eclipse spectrofluorometer was used with a custom-made

BACKGROUND Rigor mortis can be a problem when laparoscopy is performed in embalmed cadavers for surgical training. METHODS To improve the laparoscopic view, a new technique for managing the abdominal wall with a cutaneous-subcutaneous flap, pneumoperitoneum (14-15 mmHg), and a progressive

After several weeks of fever and chills, a 31-year-old logger developed pain in his right thigh. Upon examination a tender, pulsating upper thigh mass was found with a long loud bruit arising from it. Severe aortic insufficiency was present; however, blood cultures were negative. An angiogram,

We present a modification to a previously proposed method of adapting scaled particle theory (SPT) to an arbitrary hard-sphere equation of state that satisfies a large number of exact SPT conditions, including thermodynamic consistency. By introducing a set of functions to interpolate the density of

Spontaneous perforation of the common bile duct (CBD) is a rare event in adults. Most cases of CBD perforation are iatrogenic after invasive procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or cholecystectomy. We report a case of an 81-year-old woman who presented with severe

Presence of Campylobacter jejuni was determined at various locations in turkey carcass processing and further processing of turkey products (wieners, ham and boneless breast). Contamination of turkey carcasses with C. jejuni , in most cases, occurred on the surface of the skin or on the surface of

Oral involvement is rarely found in histoplasmosis, except in its disseminated form, which is mostly observed in the severely immunocompromised host. Herein, we presented the case of a 36-year-old female with a previous history of liver transplant, who was hospitalized due to fever, chills, night
