Article Synopsis
- The study investigated if the PostureScreen® Mobile app can help dentists assess the link between posture and dental occlusion.
- Twenty-nine subjects underwent both dental and postural exams to find any correlations, revealing significant differences in posture among various occlusion groups.
- The app may aid in early diagnosis of dental occlusion issues, although it showed no significant results for all movement types assessed.
Introduction: The immune responses in patients with novel A(H1N1) virus infection (nvA(H1N1)) are incompletely characterized. We investigated the profile of Th1 and Th17 mediators and interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) in groups with severe and mild nvA(H1N1) disease and correlated them with clinical aspects.
Methods: Thirty-two patients hospitalized with confirmed nvA(H1N1) infection were enrolled in the study: 21 patients with nvA(H1N1)-acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and 11 patients with mild disease.
Refractory shock from anaphylaxis can occur after induction of general anesthesia. We report two cases of fatal cardiac arrest with increased blood tryptase and immunoglobulin E values after succinylcholine administration. Tryptase and immunoglobulin E assays may help to identify anaphylactic reactions when cardiac arrest occurs at induction of anesthesia.

This prospective, randomized, unblinded, controlled study investigated colonization and infection rates of standard central venous catheters in comparison with the rates for silver-integrated catheters in the intensive care unit.
Methods: Complete data were evaluated for 272 catheters inserted into 230 patients (141 standard and 131 silver-integrated central venous catheters).
