Update on the diagnosis and treatment of CNO in children: a clinician's perspective.

Unlabelled: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is caused by aseptic inflammation of bones, primarily driven by the innate immune system. CNO may display different clinical presentations (acute vs chronic, uni- vs multifocal) and is accompanied by other inflammatory disorders in up to a third of patients. Once considered a rare disorder, it has become clear that many patients were underdiagnosed.

Photon-Induced Photo-Acoustic Streaming vs. Shock Wave-Enhanced Emission Photo-Acoustic Streaming-The Effect of Three Final Irrigation Protocols on the Bond Strength of an Individually Formed Fiber Post.

(1) Background: This study aimed to evaluate how laser-activated irrigation (LAI) influences the retention of a fiber post when used before an endodontic filling, as well as after post space preparation. (2) Materials and Methods: Sixty freshly extracted human incisors were selected. The teeth were randomly assigned to three groups-CONVENTIONAL (CONV), PIPS or SWEEPS-and treated endodontically.

Analysis of the Pulpal Blood Flow Microdynamics during Prosthetic Tooth Preparation Using Diamond Burs with Different Degrees of Wear.

Pulpal modifications taking place during prosthetic tooth preparation using worn-out burs may represent a risk for the vitality of the dental pulp. The aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate whether the wear of diamond burs has an influence on the vascular microdynamics at the level of the dental pulp, during vertical preparation for zirconia crowns. The study was performed with a split-mouth design and included 32 vital permanent monoradicular teeth (20 maxillary and 12 mandibular), from six subjects, aged between 20 and 50 years.

Multimodal Treatment of Metastatic Rectal Cancer in a Young Patient: Case Report and Literature Review.

Metastatic colorectal cancer requires a multidisciplinary and individualized approach. Herein, we reported the case of a young woman diagnosed with metastatic rectal cancer who received an individualized multimodal treatment strategy that resulted in a remarkable survival. There were several particular aspects of this case, such as the early onset of the disease, the successful use of conversion therapy, the application of liquid biopsy to guide treatment, and the specific nature of the bone metastasis.
