Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of recombinant psoriasin as a potential new treatment for oral candidiasis, specifically targeting the growth of Candida albicans on denture materials.
- Researchers conducted experiments to assess psoriasin's efficacy and safety, showing it effectively inhibited fungal growth when used in sufficient concentrations.
- The results suggest psoriasin could be a safer alternative to traditional antifungals for treating denture-related fungal infections, with minimal cytotoxic effects on human cells.
Article Synopsis
- Paracetamol overdose is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S., and acetylcysteine is the standard treatment, but managing it can be complex.
- A study evaluated the impact of a medical toxicology service on the accuracy of treatment decisions for paracetamol overdose patients, comparing outcomes before and after the service was established.
- Results showed a significant reduction in management errors post-service implementation, indicating that such a service can improve treatment accuracy, although the study's single-center design may limit broader applicability.
Terminal deletions of the chromosome 6q27 region are rare genomic abnormalities, linked to specific brain malformations and other neurological phenotypes. Reported cases have variable sized genomic deletions that harbor several genes including the DLL1 and TBP. We report on an inherited 0.

Objectives: To describe the rate of T21 identification by transvaginal sonograms (TVS) at 14-17 weeks gestation.
We describe the transvaginal sonographic findings in a patient with complete placenta previa and increased risk of preterm birth owing to a prior history of mid-trimester pregnancy loss in whom we observed a short cervix and prolapse of the placenta and fetal membranes into the endocervical canal. We believe that this could lead to antepartum hemorrhage and mandate close observation when diagnosed. We introduced the term "placental prolapse" to describe our finding.
