Biomechanical aspects of oral implants. Consensus report of Working Group 1.

Published: October 2006

The method used by the working group was an iterative process based upon a structured review of the relevant literature by a group of reporters. The review papers were circulated to the members of the group before the conference and formed the basis for subsequent discussions. Each paper was subject to detailed collective analysis and subsequently modified on the basis of the panel's discussions and referenced to additional relevant literature where appropriate. The group assessed the levels of evidence for the statements made in the supporting documentation and recognized that it was necessary to adopt a compromise between acceptance of the lowest level, resulting in the largest body of material, and the highest level, which, in some cases, produced little evidence. While this approach does not represent endorsement of lower evidence levels per se, it was designed to provide conclusions of clinical utility within the existing knowledge base. The consensus statements were prepared after a detailed consideration of the papers submitted to the workshop by the working group. The papers were scrutinized, amended and approved by the group. The basis of each paper is described in the section on 'search strategy' and defines the parameters within which the consensus statements were prepared.

Article Synopsis
  • Around 90% of varicella (chickenpox) infections are mild, but adults can experience more severe cases, prompting a study in Florence, Italy, to assess immunity levels post-vaccination.
  • A survey of 430 adults (ages 18-94) showed that 89.5% tested positive for varicella antibodies, with no significant differences based on sex or nationality.
  • The findings indicated that while vaccination efforts have improved immunity, there is still a notable susceptibility (11.6%) among women aged 18-49, emphasizing the need for ongoing vaccination campaigns and awareness.

Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (pHLH) is a severe, life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome caused by defects in genes of the granule-dependent cytotoxic pathway. Here we investigated the clinical presentation and outcome in a large cohort of 143 patients with pHLH diagnosed in the last 15 years and enrolled in the Italian registry. The median age at diagnosis was 12 months (interquartile range, 2-81), and 92 patients (64%) fulfilled the HLH-2004 criteria.

Article Synopsis
  • Major serotypes of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) usually have a specific genetic region called the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) which helps them cause infections by forming lesions on intestinal cells.* -
  • There is limited information on STEC that lack this LEE, even though they can still be very harmful.* -
  • This study reports the complete genomes of eight LEE-negative STEC isolates found in patients with hemolytic-uremic syndrome, contributing valuable data to the understanding of these bacteria.*
