Lexical development of noun and predicate comprehension and production in isiZulu.

This study seeks to investigate the development of noun and predicate comprehension and production in isiZulu-speaking children between the ages of 25 and 36 months. It compares lexical comprehension and production in isiZulu, using an Italian developed and validated vocabulary assessment tool: The Picture Naming Game (PiNG) developed by Bello, Giannantoni, Pettenati, Stefanini and Caselli (2012). The PiNG tool includes four subtests, one each for subnoun comprehension (NC), noun production (NP), predicate comprehension (PC), and predicate production (PP).

Orthodontic archwire in the nasal cavity. A case report.

We present the unusual case of a patient who lost an orthodontic archwire after having, via manipulation, detached it from the brackets. It was only on a routine radiograph at the end of treatment that the archwire was found in the patient's nasal cavity, where it had failed to cause any symptoms! We discuss the treatment following the inhalation and ingestion of foreign bodies in orthodontics, as well as their prevention.
