A Low-cost 3D Printed Telescopic Sleeve: A Technical Note.

Unlabelled: Background: Endoscopic nasal surgery is often a tedious process due to repeated removal of the Hopkins rod telescope from the nasal cavity for manual defogging of the tip due to the presence of blood, smoke, and secretions. Objective: To design and print a 3-dimensional (3D) low-cost telescopic sleeve to allow the defogging solution to clean the rigid telescope tip without removing it from the nasal cavity. In addition, the sleeve must also act as a conduit for suction and irrigation to provide a clear surgical field view intraoperatively.

Cannabis Associated Mental Health Effects: A Review.

According to the latest drift in Western countries, many lawmakers are trying to formulate policy to legalize the usage of in the case of mentally vulnerable populations such as those suffering from depression, paranoia, and excessive anxiety. This particular trend has been due to short term success in the case of mood upliftment. derivatives produce effects on both mood and cognitive function, which can be a double-edged sword if not followed with proper dosage.

Columella necrosis in a child secondary to nasal continuous positive airway pressure during neonatal period.

The advent of continuous positive airway pressure ventilation as a mode of treatment for respiratory distress syndrome for premature infants has increased the risk of nasal injuries such as pressure necrosis. We describe a case of a 24-week infant who received CPAP ventilation as a mode of ventilatory support for respiratory distress syndrome and the complication of pressure necrosis of the columella. There are many factors that predispose an infant receiving CPAP ventilation to nasal injury.

Talon cusp in fused teeth: A rare concomitant occurrence.

Talon cusp and fusion of teeth are two separate developmental dental anomalies affecting both primary and permanent dentitions. While the former is more common in permanent maxillary incisors, the latter occurs more commonly in deciduous maxillary anterior teeth. This paper describes a rare case of talon cusp in fused teeth affecting the permanent mandibular incisors.
