Article Synopsis
- The study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of CaneCPI-5, a sugarcane cystatin, in preventing erosion and tooth wear compared to other rinses like deionized water and Elmex®.
- Nine volunteers participated in a controlled trial using a Reflectometer Optipen to measure the surface reflection intensity of their teeth after rinsing with different solutions and experiencing erosive challenges with citric acid.
- Results indicated that CaneCPI-5 provided protection against tooth erosion similar to Elmex®, and both showed significantly better results than the negative control, making the Reflectometer Optipen a reliable clinical assessment tool.

We report a case of a 19-month-old boy with GP after a preceding perianal streptococcal dermatitis, with no clinical signs of a streptococcal pharyngitis.

An open-label randomised clinical trial was designed to compare the efficacy and tolerance of levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin plus phenethicillin for the prevention of bacterial infections in patients with high-risk neutropenia, and to monitor the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Adult patients (n = 242) scheduled to receive intensive treatment for haematological malignancies were assigned randomly to receive oral prophylaxis with either levofloxacin 500 mg once-daily (n = 122), or ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice-daily plus phenethicillin 250 mg four-times-daily (n = 120). The primary endpoint was failure of prophylaxis, defined as the first occurrence of either the need to change the prophylactic regimen or the initiation of intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics.
