Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation: Severity, caries and hypersensitivity.

Objectives: To investigate distribution of affected teeth and severity of molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) in 8-9-year-old children. A second aim was to study association between severity of MIH and hypersensitivity, caries, and affection of incisors and second primary molars (SPM).

Methods: A total of 3013 children in one age cohort participated in a cross-sectional study, of which 851 children were diagnosed with MIH.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar ataxia and the paraneoplastic syndromes.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar ataxia, also known as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, is one of the wide array of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes in which neurological symptoms are indirectly caused by an underlying malignancy, most commonly gynecological, breast, or lung cancer or Hodgkin's lymphoma. We describe a patient with severe cerebellar dysfunction attributed to a paraneoplastic neurological syndrome. The case highlights the need to look for paraneoplastic syndromes-both to discover malignancies early, at a treatable stage, and, as in our case, to address very distressing symptoms for the patient's relief even if the malignancy is not curable.

Ascending paralysis associated with HIV infection.

We present two patients with a high viral load of HIV-1 who developed symptoms of ascending paralysis leading to respiratory failure and autonomic instability. One patient had symptom improvement with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and a subsequent decrease in viral load. The other patient improved with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and did not show much improvement on HAART alone.

4-[(E)-({4-[(4-Amino-phen-yl)sulfon-yl]phen-yl}imino)-meth-yl]phenol ethanol monosolvate.

In the title compound, C(19)H(16)N(2)O(3)S·C(2)H(6)O, the 4-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene group is oriented at dihedral angles of 73.17 (7) and 77.06 (7)° with respect to the aniline groups.
