At a high level: progress for dentists - analogue and digital production alternatives - innovative methods and materials for the laboratory - a focal topic at IDS.. Good teamwork between the practice and the laboratory is an important prerequisite for complex implant and prosthetics treatments. The dental technician, as a materials specialist, makes his specialist knowledge and experience available to the dentist. Faced with rapidly changing manufacturing methods, it is helpful if dentists are accompanied and competently advised by their materials specialists from the start and throughout their treatment planning. The varied work of dental technicians supports the dental industry with numerous new developments: innovative CAD/CAM software, optimised materials for these, analogue or digital manufacturing options, modern labour management and much more - in short: dental technology is on the rise. The "state of the art" in dental technology is best exhibited by the International Dental Show (IDS), ...

The special needs population is very diverse. The reasons for sedation and anesthesia are just as varied. How they are pre-medicated (to get into the dental chair and have an intravenous started), induced (put to sleep), maintained (stay asleep) and emerge (wake up) depends on their needs and dental treatment requirements.. The special needs patient can be very challenging to treat in the general dental office environment. How we treat this patient population depends on their physical (wheelchair bound, contractures, uncontrolled movements, etc.) and mental ability to cope with entering the dental office or treatment room, and allowing an intravenous to be started.. Many special needs patients are pre-medicated to facilitate their arrival for treatment. Pre-medication usually consists of taking a pill form of an antianxiety medication prior to treatment. The uncooperative or violent special needs patient may also receive an injection in the shoulder or a mask to help with intravenous ...

Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe a nosocomial outbreak caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) ST71 SCCmec II-III in dogs and cats at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Helsinki in November 2010 - January 2012, and to determine the risk factors for acquiring MRSP. In addition, measures to control the outbreak and current policy for MRSP prevention are presented. Methods Data of patients were collected from the hospital patient record software. MRSP surveillance data were acquired from the laboratory information system. Risk factors for MRSP acquisition were analyzed from 55 cases and 213 controls using multivariable logistic regression in a case-control study design. Forty-seven MRSP isolates were analyzed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis and three were further analyzed with multi-locus sequence and SCCmec typing. Results Sixty-three MRSP cases were identified, including 27 infections. MRSPs from the cases shared a specific

Aconitum - This remedy treats shock, both mental and physical. It may also help to alleviate haemorrhage.. Arnica - Arnica is homeopathy's great injury remedy. Its use will minimise bruising and speed healing, in ANY case of injury. The mental indication for Arnica is 'fear of being touched'. This makes it doubly applicable for wild species.. Bryonia - Injury to joints, when the animal refuses to move, is a good indication for the use of Bryonia.. Calendula - Used as a lotion, this remedy speeds healing of cuts, grazes or open wounds, in addition to helping the animal to fight septic infection of such injuries.. Carbo veg. - This is called the 'corpse reviver', on account of its ability to help patients in collapse. Tiny animals lose heat very quickly, if injured or distressed. It is useful where chilling or injury threaten life.. Euphrasia - Named 'eyebright', this remedy helps many eye conditions, including conjunctivitis.. Hamamelis - Bleeding from wounds and orifices would indicate ...

Context: The palpation of motions is at the heart of the practice of foreign-trained osteopaths. When practicing osteopathic manual therapy (care provided by foreign-trained osteopaths) in the cranial field or osteopathic cranial manipulative medicine, the palpation of small motions (several tens of micrometers) is a key process. However, to the authors' knowledge, the smallest detectable motion has not been identified.. Objective: To quantify motion detection capacity by passive palpation.. Methods: Participants were instructed to hold a mechanical device containing a micrometric actuator between their hands and report when they felt motion while 6 series of 27 random motions were generated by the actuator. After each series, if a participant succeeded or failed to detect motion with a confidence level of greater than 98%, the motions in the next series were set to a smaller or larger magnitude, respectively. After 6 series, the individual motion detection capacity was recorded. Statistical ...

This week, we begin a series focusing on addiction and advertising. The next three issues of Addiction & the Humanities will explore the relationship between advertisements, drug use and public perceptions of addiction. The use of psychotropic medications, including anti-depressants, stimulants, and anti-psychotics, is strong and growing among Americans. The total number of Americans taking antidepressants doubled between 1996 and 2005 (Olfson, 2009),and American children are approximately three times more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medication than children in some European countries (Zito, 2008). Some researchers (e.g., Zito, 2008) suggest that pharmaceutical advertising plays a role in these trends by...

BURCHELL, Richard K. y SCHOEMAN, Johan. Medical management of myxomatous mitral valve disease: An evidence-based veterinary medicine approach. J. S. Afr. Vet. Assoc. [online]. 2014, vol.85, n.1, pp.01-07. ISSN 2224-9435. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/jsava.v85i1.1095.. Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common heart disease of dogs. The current management of MMVD in dogs is mostly pharmacological, and the recommendations for treatment are based on a number of veterinary studies. Notwithstanding the current consensus regarding the medical management of MMVD, there remains active debate as to which drugs are the most effective. In order to understand how recommendations are constructed in the pharmacological management of diseases, the veterinarian needs to understand the concept of evidence-based veterinary medicine, and how the findings of these studies can be applied in their own practices. This review summarises the current veterinary literature and explains how the consensus ...

Swine vesicular disease is a viral disease, characterized by the formation of vesicles and erosions, that affects only pigs. Although it can cause mild to severe illness, this infection is transient and not life-threatening. Its main significance is the strong resemblance to other vesicular diseases, particularly foot-and-mouth disease. Rapid differentiation of these diseases is critical, as the introduction of foot-andmouth disease could cause severe economic losses in non-endemic regions. In addition, the stability of swine vesicular disease virus in the environment complicates its eradication and makes prompt recognition essential for control.

In the America of the 1960s, equality was the dream among blacks in the civil rights movement and youth movements. In Finland, the debate on equality broadened out, with men taking a more active part in it than they had previously. Yhdistys 9 (Group 9) was established, a joint equal rights association of women and men.. In the 1960s gender equality activists particularly spoke out about the sharing of care responsibilities. The following decade saw the creation of Finland's first parental leave system. For the first time too daycare for small children was provided by law.. Sexual and reproductive rights were also a concern. In the 1970s abortion was permitted for social reasons, relationship and sex education was included in the primary school curriculum and legislation guaranteed birth control services. Seta (LGBTI Rights in Finland) was established and homosexual acts were no longer criminalised. The debate on violence against women grew in strength and the first shelters were ...

As we've covered in the past - mental health insurance coverage is extremely poor in the US; with many people left uncovered at all or very low maximums (in terms of dollar amounts spent on mental health) that results in family bankruptcies and great financial insecurity.. With this in mind, the news that the US Senate has passed a new bill mandating mental health parity provides some hope that things will get better for the mentally ill, and the families of the mentally ill in the future.. The Washington Post notes: The bill, which passed by unanimous consent, moves advocates one step closer in their years-long quest for a concept known as mental health parity.. "The passage tonight of the Mental Health Parity bill underscores our commitment to treat all patients facing all diseases with the dignity and respect they deserve," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, Democrat-Massachusetts. "This new legislation will bring dramatic new help to millions of Americans who today are denied needed mental health ...

There is a lack of structural interventions to improve antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, which represents missed opportunities to reduce HIV health disparities. Economic disadvantage can contribute to poor medication adherence and clinical outcomes through mediators such as limited social resources, repeated cycles of housing instability, high levels of stress caused by financial insecurity, and lack of resources to cope with these demands. Treatment as Prevention is an important method of improving clinical outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and reducing secondary transmissions; however, for this approach to be optimized, rates of ART adherence must be improved and sustained. Client-Centered Representative Payee is a structural intervention that provides financial management support to PLWHA by modifying the implementation of a long-standing policy within the Social Security Administration, in which an organization is authorized to serve as the client's payee..

Cliggett, Lisa. Gift Remitting and Alliance Building in Zambian Modernity: Old Answers to Modern Problems. American Anthropologist September, 2003 Vol. 105(3):543-552.. In this article, Cliggett attempts to show that in the precarious economy of modern Zambia, where the falling price of copper has lead to financial insecurity for urban migrants, Zambians use gift remitting to kin in their rural home villages as an "insurance policy"(548). Cliggett asserts gift giving nurtures ties to their home village so that they will be welcomed back again. While this is one reason for Zambian gifting, I believe it is not the main reason. The examples given by Cliggett suggest that family ties and tradition are larger motivators for gift giving than simply to secure a place to retire.. To begin, Cliggett points out that Zambian gift remitting is different from remitting in other countries because Zambian gifts are small and do not supplement the incomes of those in the home village significantly. Migrants ...
