From Web site Children who require both dental and non-dental medical procedures should have them completed under one general anesthesia session whenever possible, which is ideal for both the patient and family, suggests research being presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2016 annual meeting. "While surgery and anesthesia are safer than they've ever been, limiting exposure is preferable, especially in children, because there may be sensitivities or a greater risk of anesthesia-related complications," said Vidya T. Raman, M.D., lead author of the study and director of pre-admission testing at Nationwide Children's Hospital and clinical associate professor at The Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus. "In addition to improving patient safety, we believe combining procedures decreases costs and improves patient satisfaction." Go to complete article>Click Here

From web site The mouth guards may mean less work for the postural muscles and more stability for athletes such as ice hockey players. By Chris Berdik Like most Canadians, Serge Bourgeois, the men’s hockey coach at New Brunswick’s Université de Moncton, takes the sport seriously. Naturally he was skeptical when a local dentist, Patrick Girouard, DG11, suggested that mouth guards might help his team skate better, shoot straighter and suffer fewer muscle aches and strains. Mouth guards aren’t mandated for college hockey players in Canada. But there is some evidence that they may protect athletes from concussions by absorbing the shock of blows to the head and stabilizing the head and neck muscles, and Bourgeois encouraged his players to wear them. So when Girouard asked if the team would help him investigate the relationship between bite, balance and performance, Bourgeois put his skepticism aside. “I was all for it,” he says. Girouard is conducting the research fo...

L’IMPIEGO DELLA STRUMENTAZIONE NELLA FORMULAZIONE DELLA DIAGNOSI Luca Martinelli 21 ottobre 2016   1.     PREMESSA Tutti gli strumenti, dallo stetofonendoscopio ai software di intelligenza artificiale che in pochi secondi ipotizzano una diagnosi sulla base dell’analisi di milioni di testi di letteratura specifica disponibile in rete, ricoprono un ruolo importantissimo nel processo decisionale di formulazione della diagnosi.   Gli strumenti sono inoltre importanti per il controllo della terapia e la vigilanza.   Nessuna strumentazione può comunque, da sola, sostituire la conoscenza, competenza ed esperienza del clinico.   Gli strumenti portano con sé il rischio di una possibilità di errore di interpretazione dei dati ma del resto gli errori possono essere fatti anche in fase ad esempio di riconoscimento/individuazione dei sintomi, di valutazione dei dati anamnestici ecc.   Facciamo un esempio semplice. Prendiamo un metro, misu...

The Rapid Alert System for non-food dangerous products facilitates the rapid exchange of information between   national authorities   of 31 countries and the European Commission on dangerous products found on the market. The Commission publishes a weekly overview of the alerts on products reported by the national authorities. They include information on the dangerous products found, the risks identified and the measures taken in the notifying country in order to prevent or restrict their marketing or use. Measures can be ordered by national authorities ("compulsory measures") or be taken directly by producers and distributors ("voluntary measures"). Each alert also includes information on the countries where the same product was found and further measures were taken.
