Invasive fungal infection in patients with hematologic malignancies: epidemiology and prognostic factors.

Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are emerging opportunistic diseases that occur mainly in immunocompromised patients. Our study aimed to analyze the epidemiology of IFIs in patients with hematological malignancies, and the prognostic factors. Our retrospective study included patients hospitalized in the hematology department between January 1, 2010, and August 31, 2020, and in whom the diagnosis of IFI was made according to the EORTC criteria 2008.

Dental anomalies in craniofacial microsomia and condylo-mandibular dysplasia: A retrospective study of 103 patients.

Introduction: Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and camel-hump condylo-mandibular dysplasia (CMD) are developmental disorders affecting the mandible that share common clinical features. This study aimed to investigate and compare the dental anomalies (DA) between the two entities for differential diagnosis and to propose appropriate treatment.

Efficacy of non-instrumental Endodontic treatment in primary teeth: a systematic review of clinical randomized trials.

Background: Endodontic therapy in pediatric dentistry is a challenging procedure, especially for special needs, uncooperative, and very young patients. A new conservative approach which is the non-instrumental endodontic treatment (NIET) has been developed to simplify the management of primary teeth requiring pulpectomy. This review aimed to compare the efficiency of NIET and conventional endodontic treatment in primary teeth.
