The treatment of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) continues to be a contentious issue in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Despite extensive research and systematic reviews, no definitive protocol or consensus has been established. This case series investigates how OKCs can be treated through a thorough approach combining preoperative investigation - fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) - to confirm the diagnosis of OKC, followed by treatment of the combined surgical approach of enucleation, peripheral ostectomy, and chemical cauterization using modified Carnoy's solution under local or general anesthesia. This study demonstrates how well this multimodal therapy method works in lowering the chances of recurrence and reaching the best results.

The Utility of Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis in Guiding Management of Infants Exposed to Syphilis in Utero.

Pediatr Infect Dis J

March 2025

Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, University of California, Davis Children's Hospital, Sacramento, California.

Background: Syphilis is re-emerging, with recent increases in congenital infections. While cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) evaluation can inform management, specimen collection requires technical skill and the interpretation of indices is nuanced. We sought to understand the practical value of CSF indices as an evaluation tool among neonates exposed to syphilis in utero.

Background: Critically ill children are at risk for subtherapeutic antibiotic concentrations. The frequency of target attainment and risk factors for subtherapeutic concentrations of cefepime in children have not been extensively studied.

Methods: We performed an observational study in critically ill children receiving a new prescription of standard dosing of cefepime for suspected sepsis (≥2 systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria within 48 hours of cefepime start).

Diethanolamine (DEA) can be used not only as a cement admixture but also to capture carbon dioxide (CO). However, the waste liquid treatment still faces the problems of high energy consumption and increasing environmental burden. The effects of DEA waste liquid (WL-DEA) with multiple cycles of CO absorption and desorption on the setting time, hydration temperature, mechanical strength, and microstructure of cement-based materials were explored.

Objectives: To assess the prognostic impact of adequate lymphadenectomy and determine the optimal nodal assessment for different clinical stages of lung cancer.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1214 patients with clinical stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer who had preoperative PET/CT and curative surgery (2006-2017). Patients were categorized based on whether they had adequate [R0] or inadequate lymphadenectomy [R(un)].
