- Proboscis lateralis (PL) is a rare craniofacial congenital malformation that presents various ophthalmic issues, but there hasn't been a focused study on these eye-related conditions until now.
- The study analyzed data from 100 subjects and found that the most common eye features in PL include eyelid and iris colobomas, hypertelorism, and abnormalities in the lacrimal system.
- A strong link was established between brain abnormalities and specific eye issues like hypertelorism and micro-anophthalmia, suggesting that associated congenital deformities significantly affect ocular anomalies in PL cases.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the erosive potential of twenty beverages (8 carbonated drinks and 12 packaged fruit juices).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-one sound permanent freshly extracted teeth were segmented into small enamel slices and stored in normal saline. The titratable acidity of each experimental drink was measured as the amount of 0.
Background: Little is known about how parents utilize medical information on the Internet prior to an emergency department (ED) visit.
Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the proportion of parents who accessed the Internet for medical information related to their child's illness in the 24 hours prior to an ED visit (IPED), to identify the websites used, and to understand how the content contributed to the decision to visit the ED.
Methods: A 40-question interview was conducted with parents presenting to an ED within a freestanding children's hospital.
