Article Synopsis
- Repeated exposure to capsaicin leads to reduced sensitivity, known as capsaicin desensitization, which is more pronounced in heavy chili consumers compared to infrequent ones.
- A study with two groups of healthy volunteers showed significant reductions in reported oral burn after systematic low-dose capsaicin rinses, but no decrease in the expression of the capsaicin receptor (TRPV1) was observed.
- Other compounds like vanillyl butyl ether and cinnamaldehyde also exhibited reduced burn sensations, suggesting a broader mechanism at play in desensitization beyond just the capsaicin receptor.
Purpose: The revision of any total knee replacement is carried out in a significant number of cases, due to the excessive internal rotation of the tibial component. The goal was to develop a personalized method, using only the geometric parameters of the tibia, without the femoral guidelines, to calculate the postoperative rotational position of tibial component malrotation within a tolerable error threshold in every case.
Methods: Preoperative CT scans of eighty-five osteoarthritic knees were examined by three independent medical doctors twice over 7 weeks.
Capsaicin is classically considered an irritant, due to the warming and burning sensations it elicits. Widespread consumption of chilis suggests many individuals enjoy this burn, but these sensations can be overwhelming if the burn is too intense. While substantial folklore exists on the ability of specific beverages to mitigate capsaicin burn, quantitative data to support these claims are generally lacking.

Although the potential of CDRTs to promote systems improvement and prevention is well recognised, teams often struggle to translate their findings into effective preventive actions.
Objective: To present results from a study assessing the quality of written recommendations in published CDRT reports; and provide guidelines for improving the quality and effectiveness of these written recommendations.
