Traumatic hemifacial avulsion and degloving injury: a case report.

Authors:
Alphonce Nsabi Simbila Paulo Joseph Laizer William Njoroge Waihenya David Kiwango Deoglas Audrey Bernard Mwashilemo Dorah Jonathan Kiwale

Pan Afr Med J 2022 23;41:158. Epub 2022 Feb 23.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Muhimbili National Hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Gross maxillofacial injuries are challenging to manage because they can be complicated by airway obstruction, injuries to the cervical spine, and cranial structures. Deformities from such injuries have lasting psychological effects which if not addressed can be devastating. We present a 21-year-old male motorcyclist who was involved in a motor traffic collision and sustained avulsion and degloving of the forehead skin, left eyebrow, left upper and lower eyelids, the nose, the left cheek and part of the right cheek, upper and lower lips, and the skin overlying the chin. His airway was compromised; hence rapid sequence intubation was done to secure it. Thereafter single-stage primary reconstruction and repair were done. A multidisciplinary team approach involving different specialties yielded good outcomes for this patient's condition.

Eur J Orthod 2022 Aug 14. Epub 2022 Aug 14.

Melbourne Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Melbourne, Australia.

Objectives: The primary aim of this two-arm parallel two-centre randomized controlled trial was to compare computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) versus conventional multistranded fixed retainers (FRs) in terms of stability over 6 months. Secondary outcomes were failure rates and patient satisfaction.

Methods: Patients were randomized to CAD/CAM or conventional FRs in both arches, in 1:1 ratio and blocks of four. Read More

William B Crosby Lee J Pinnell John T Richeson Cory Wolfe Jake Castle John Dustin Loy Sheryl P Gow Keun Seok Seo Sarah F Capik Amelia R Woolums Paul S Morley

Anim Microbiome 2022 Aug 13;4(1):49. Epub 2022 Aug 13.

Veterinary Education, Research, and Outreach Program, Texas A&M University, VERO Building, 3201 Russell Long Blvd., Canyon, TX, 79015, USA.

Background: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is caused by interactions among host, environment, and pathogens. One standard method for antemortem pathogen identification in cattle with BRD is deep-guarded nasopharyngeal swabbing, which is challenging, costly, and waste generating. The objective was to compare the ability to recover Mannheimia haemolytica and compare microbial community structure using 29. Read More

Introduction: To characterize Hirayama disease in female patients, and increase awareness among clinicians regarding the specifics of this disease.

Methods: Baseline data, clinical manifestations, characteristics of cervical-flexion magnetic resonance imaging, and electromyography were collected and compared among females and males with Hirayama disease. In addition, the literature on Hirayama disease in females up to October, 2021 was searched in PubMed and the relevant data were compared with the data from our study. Read More

Milton Tavares de Souza, s/n°, Niterói, RJ 24210-346, Brazil. Electronic address:

Mangroves are one of the most important but threatened blue carbon ecosystems globally. Rapid urban growth has resulted in nutrient inputs and subsequent coastal eutrophication, associated with an enrichment in organic matter (OM) from algal and sewage sources and substantial changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) enrichment on mangrove soil OM composition and GHG emissions, such as methane (CH) and carbon dioxide (CO), are still poorly understood.
