AI Article Synopsis
- Extreme oral myiasis mainly occurs in bedridden patients who don't receive proper oral hygiene.
- The most effective treatment involves manually removing the maggots and damaged tissue while performing debridement and suturing under general anesthesia.
- Preventive measures are crucial to stop the condition from happening again.
Article Abstract
Extreme oral myiasis is a rare condition, mostly affecting bedridden patients whose oral health care measures are neglected. Single stage manual removal of the maggots along with the necrotic tissue, debridement, and suturing under general anesthesia is the most effective way to treat the condition. Preventive measures are also equally important to eliminate the cause and recurrence.

Collaborative machine learning-guided overall survival prediction of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Acta Otolaryngol
December 2024
Research Program in Systems Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Background: There is a lack of prognosticators of overall survival (OS) for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).
Objectives: We examined collaborative machine learning (cML) in estimating the OS of OSCC patients. The prognostic significance of the clinicopathological parameters was examined.

School of Dentistry, China Medical University, Taichung, 404, Taiwan, Republic of China.
Background: Maxillary canine impaction can result in malocclusion, temporomandibular joint complications, and esthetic concerns, thus influencing craniofacial development. Although cases of impacted canines are not uncommon in clinical practice, the likelihood of simultaneous bilateral impaction is extremely low; very few reports have documented cases of bilaterally symmetrical, inversely impacted canines.
Case Presentation: This paper reports a rare case of maxillary canine impaction, a condition characterized by the abnormal eruption of teeth.
Tolosa Hunt syndrome: A rare cause of headache.
Med J Armed Forces India
December 2024
INHS Kalyani, Visakhapatnam, India.
Tolosa Hunt syndrome (THS) is characterized by painful ophthalmoplegia preceded by retro orbital headache. First described in year 1952, it is a diagnosis of exclusion and is extremely rare entity Here we present a case report of syndrome in a female patient who presented with 03 weeks of progressive unilateral retro orbital headache followed by acute onset ptosis and complete ophthalmoplegia in right eye. On evaluation (brain imaging) and after ruling out all the other differentials, she was diagnosed as a case of THS.

3D Print Addit Manuf
December 2024
Department of Dentistry, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) on the mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and cytotoxicity of a polyurethane-based 3D printing resin for mouthguard applications. The synthesized polycarbonate-based polyurethane acrylate was formulated into digital light processing printing resins with 40 wt% triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and different percentage of ATBC were added for further characterizations. The mechanical properties and abrasion resistance, ATBC migration, and the cytotoxicity of the resins were evaluated.
