Background And Objectives: Patients with rare diseases like hereditary angioedema (HAE) are usually referred to an angioedema center to ensure guideline-compliant and experience-based therapy. Even though there are established guidelines and several approved therapeutics, there are still open questions and situations in the daily care of HAE patients, where an exchange between centers is needed.

Materials And Methods: A survey was conducted among physicians from German angioedema centers regarding challenges and issues in everyday HAE treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • A new bite force measuring device called the "loadpad" was tested for its effectiveness in patients who have undergone mandibular reconstruction after segmental resection.
  • The device's accuracy was assessed using various silicone layers around the sensor, with results showing deviations in measured force from the applied load ranging from 0.77% to 5.28%.
  • Findings indicated that the maximum bite force in patients decreased by 51.8% post-surgery, but the device proved to be reliable and could help measure oral function in edentulous patients after such reconstructive procedures.

Deboronation of closo-1,7-CBH and 1-R-closo-1,2-CBH (R = Me, Ph) with anhydrous [MeN]F yields [MeN][BHF] that is the first structurally characterized anion of the series [BHF] (x = 1-3). Deboronation of 9,12-R-closo-1,7-CBH (R = H, I) gives a mixture of [MeN][BHF] and [MeN][1-HFB-9,12-R-closo-1,2-CBH].
