Management of Laryngoscope-Induced Iatrogenic Dental Injury: A Case Series.
Bull Emerg Trauma
January 2024
Department of Dentistry, Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, India.
Dental injury is a common anesthesia-related adverse event, with a high incidence of damage to teeth and surrounding tissues during oro-endotracheal intubation. Poor oral hygiene, compromised periodontium, faulty or loose prosthesis, proclined maxillary incisors along with increased difficulty level of airway management, improper use of laryngoscope, and use of maxillary anterior teeth as a fulcrum for achieving accessibility to the airway are all risk factors for iatrogenic dental injury. This type of injury provides additional physical and psychological trauma to patients who have already undergone medical surgical procedures.

Article Synopsis
- ABH antigens on red blood cells determine blood types (A, B, AB, O) and are also present in various body fluids; individuals with these antigens in their fluids are known as secretors.
- A study in Shillong, India, assessed salivary secretor status in 250 healthy adults, revealing a 57.2% prevalence, with notable trends linked to age, sex, tribe, and blood groups.
- Findings highlight the forensic potential of saliva in identifying blood groups, which can assist in legal matters related to paternity, immigration, and disaster victim identification, as it can be more readily available than blood samples.

Diagnostic ecologies: Medical standards, tinkering, and worker health in Turkey.
Med Anthropol Q
December 2024
Department of Anthropology, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
In Turkey's occupational health system, doctors must use the International Labor Organization's (ILO) standards to classify the chest radiographs of workers at risk of lung diseases caused by dust exposure. Yet these standards do not provide a uniformity of care within the tripartite structure of the occupational health system, which divides disease surveillance, disease diagnosis, and worker compensation into distinct silos. This division often produces ambiguity and unpredictable outcomes for occupational disease claims.
