Second‐degree burn induced by high‐concentration topical capsaicin with mobility sequelae: a case report

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Second‐degree burn induced by high‐concentration topical capsaicin with mobility sequelae: a case report via Pain Practice Abstract High-concentration topical capsaicin is used as a second line treatment for neuropathic pain. Transient, mild burning sensation and erythema are expected adverse drug reactions. Here, we report the first case of second degree burn after the application of a high-concentration topical capsaicin patch with secondary mobility sequelae. Nine months after the application, neuropathic pain still remained and the patient described mobility difficulties in daily activities, preventing her from returning to work. This report aims to raise the question of the benefit/risk ratio of high concentration topical capsaicin. View on Web

Effect of adhesive strategy on resin cement bonding to dentin

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Effect of adhesive strategy on resin cement bonding to dentin via Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry Abstract Objective The cement bonding strategy and the polymerization mode can influence the prognosis of indirect restorations. The microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and dentin endogenous enzymatic activity of a dual-cure resin cement (PV5) used in combination with two dentin surface conditioners (accelerator-enhancer primer, TP or universal adhesive, UA) were evaluated. Materials and Methods PV5 was used to lute composite overlays after dentin treatment with TP or UA. The resin cement was self-cured, SC (1 h at 37 °C) or dual-cured, DC (20 s light-cure followed by 15 min self-cure at 37°C). The μTBS test, fractographic analysis, and the in situ zymography evaluations were performed after 24 h (T 0) or 1 yr (T 12) of artificial storage. Data were statistically analyzed (α = 0.05). Results TP/DC obtained the highest adhesive strengths (45 ± 9 and 36.6 ± 8), while UA/SC (17 ± 8 and 11 ± 4) the lowest, both at T 0 and T 12, respectively. DC resulted in superior bonding values than the SC, independent of the dentin surface treatment (p < 0.05). The type of adhesive, curing mode and aging influenced the gelatinolytic activity (p < 0.05). Conclusions The dual-cure resin cement used in combination with its accelerator-enhancer primer showed superior bonding performances with respect to universal adhesive. Dual-curing the resin cement was determinant to enhance bonding capability over time, independent of the adhesive strategy. Clinical Relevance Clinicians must be aware to faithfully follow manufacturer's recommendation regarding the adhesive strategy suggested with the resin cement used. View on Web

Tone in Noise Detection in Children with a History of Temporary Conductive Hearing Loss

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Tone in Noise Detection in Children with a History of Temporary Conductive Hearing Loss via JARO - Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology via MedWorm.com AbstractChildren with a history of temporary conductive hearing loss (CHL) during early development may show long-term impairments in auditory processes that persist after restoration of normal audiometric hearing thresholds. Tones in noise provide a simplified paradigm for studying hearing in noise. Prior research has shown that adults with sensorineural hearing loss may alter their listening strategy to use single-channel energy cues for tone-in-noise (TIN) detection rather than rove-resistant envelope or spectral profile cues. Our objective was to determine the effect of early CHL on TIN detection in healthy children compared to controls. Children ages 4 –7 years, with and without a history of CHL due to otitis media with effusion (OME) before age 3 years, participated in a two-alte... View on Web
