This study explores early alliance formation between adult consumers with schizophrenic-spectrum disorders and their case managers from the consumers' perspectives using a prospective, cohort design. While quantitative studies have demonstrated positive links between the alliance and some client outcomes, such methods cannot reveal in concrete and authentic ways what consumers want in the case management relationship. This study finds that consumers can provide tangible and insightful information about the specifics of their case management relationships, confirming previous findings about the desire for connection with others, while extending it to include the desire for connection to the social world through the case manager relationship.

Cowden Syndrome and Oral Lesions: A Case Report Using MLPA.

Am J Case Rep

January 2025

Research Institute of Dentistry, Department of Integral Dental Clinics, University Center of Health Sciences, Universidad de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico.

BACKGROUND Cowden syndrome is a genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to cancer and is characterized by hamartomas derived from 3 germ layers. Although the clinical signs can be pathognomonic, diagnosis is often aided by biopsies, histopathological examination of oral and cutaneous lesions, and genetic studies, including multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). CASE REPORT We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who manifested with multiple lesions in the buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue, and gums, along with papillomatous papules on her facial skin and the dorsal surfaces of her hands.

Chromogenic bacterial staining of teeth: a scoping review.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Basic Medical and Dental Sciences Department, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, Ajman, UAE.

Article Synopsis
  • This scoping review aims to investigate the causes, clinical traits, and treatment methods for chromogenic staining of teeth, following the PRISMA 2022 guidelines.
  • A systematic search across multiple medical databases led to the identification of 989 articles, with 21 ultimately included for analysis, highlighting that chromogenic bacteria can cause staining in 3.1 to 18.5% of cases, primarily resulting in black discoloration.
  • The findings indicate a lack of comprehensive literature on this topic, emphasizing the need for further research into effective management strategies for these challenging stains linked to specific oral bacteria.

Generally, to address the resource management issues in high-speed railway operations, particularly in the context of large-scale networked high-speed train transportation organizations, a phased optimization approach is introduced. This approach divides the problem into two stages: the high-speed train timetabling and the planning of Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) route. The lack of direct integration between these stages has hindered the flexible and efficient utilization of line capacity and EMU resources based on large-scale network, limiting the potential for mutual compensation and coordination among different types of resources across different regions.

Background: Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is a rare condition with multiple congenital anomalies, caused by hemizygote variants in the gene. Its description was based mostly on old case reports, in whom a molecular diagnosis was not always available, or on small series. The aim of this study was to better delineate the phenotype and the natural history of AAS and to provide clues for the diagnosis and the management of the patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Heterotopic ossification (HO) in the elbow leads to limited movement and is often caused by injuries like burns or trauma; this study analyzes the long-term outcomes of 51 elbows treated surgically.
  • The study followed 48 patients over an average of 8 years, assessing metrics such as elbow movement arcs, pain levels, and functional performance scores post-surgery.
  • Results showed significant improvement in elbow functionality, but patients with type II diabetes experienced the lowest movement range and higher complication rates, indicating potential risk factors for poorer outcomes.
