Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune condition characterized by a reduced platelet count due to enhanced peripheral destruction and impaired platelet production. While thrombocytopenia is a well-documented complication of various viral infections, cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the Herpesviridae family, is primarily associated with infections in immunocompromised patients and is rarely implicated in causing severe thrombocytopenia in immunocompetent patients. This article aims to highlight the importance of considering CMV as a significant etiological factor in ITP, particularly in cases of asymptomatic thrombocytopenia.

Aims: To investigate the effect of a lingual nerve block on spontaneous pain in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and to estimate associated somatosensory abnormalities by quantitative sensory testing (QST).
Protocol And Methods: A standardised QST battery including cold detection threshold (CDT), warmth detection threshold (WDT), thermal sensory limen (TSL), paradoxical heat sensation (PHS), cold pain threshold (CPT), heat pain threshold (HPT), mechanical pain threshold (MPT), wind-up ratio (WUR) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) was performed at the oral mucosa of the most painful site and intraoral control site in 20 BMS patients, and at the tongue and cheek mucosa in 22 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. The effect of a lingual nerve block on spontaneous burning pain reported by the BMS patients on a 0-10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS) was investigated in a randomised double-blind crossover design using (1 mL) lidocaine (lido) or saline (sal) with an interval of 1 week.
Early Detection and Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Canine: A Case Report.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent

Department of Family Oral Health, The National University of Malaysia (UKM), Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Article Synopsis
- Upper canines are the second most commonly impacted teeth, after third molars, and early diagnosis is crucial to avoid complications.
- A case study of an 11-year-old showed that with proper monitoring and the use of a removable orthodontic appliance, an impacted left maxillary canine could erupt naturally after 10 months.
- Early intervention is significant in pediatric dentistry, as it allows for effective treatment without resorting to surgical or fixed orthodontic methods.
Effects On Palatal Surface Area In Mixed Dentition Patients Treated With Leaf Expander And Rapid Palatal Expander, Compared To Untreated Subjects: A Randomised Clinical Trial.

Surgical, Medical and Dental Department, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 41124 Modena, Italy.
Aim: To evaluate palatal surface effects induced by LE and RPE, alongside spontaneous changes in an untreated group, and to compare differences in canine and molar inclination among the three groups.
Materials: This randomised clinical trial aimed to compare digital models pre- and post-treatment over 12 months in patients receiving tooth-borne Leaf Expander® (LE) and tooth-borne Hyrax-type maxillary expander (RPE) treatments, alongside untreated patients. Analysis included 24 LE patients (13 males, 11 females, mean age 8.

Article Synopsis
- * A 52-year-old woman with four months of left-sided facial paralysis underwent OMT focused on specific cranial and muscular techniques, leading to significant improvements in her facial function.
- * The combination of OMT, physical therapy, and at-home exercises appeared to contribute positively to her recovery, though the possibility of spontaneous resolution of Bell's palsy remains a consideration.
