To assess the incidence, clinical, microbiological features and outcome of invasive Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) infections in non-pregnant adults in three tertiary hospitals of the Brussels-Capital Region. All bacterial cultures positive for GBS, from 2005 to 2019 from 3 hospitals of the Brussels-Capital Region, were extracted, and only cases of invasive diseases were included. Medical files were retrospectively retrieved for risk factors, clinical manifestations and outcome and also antibiotic-susceptibility testing and GBS serotypes.

Centric relation and programming semiadjustable articulators with the universal jig. Part I: Technique.

To obtain centric relation and program recordings, a universal jig was made to be molded after adjustment to the upper incisors by means of dental plaster. The jig can be produced by means of an autopolymerizing resin mold based on the wax model. Once the jig is in position, the patient is asked to produce left and right lateral movements until muscular relaxation is obtained.
