Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteremia Associated With Toothbrushing and Dental Extraction
Peter B. Lockhart,Michael T. Brennan,Howell C. Sasser,Philip C. Fox,Bruce J. Paster,Farah K. Bahrani-Mougeot +5 more
TL;DR: Although amoxicillin has a significant impact on bacteremia resulting from a single-tooth extraction, given the greater frequency for oral hygiene, toothbrushing may be a greater threat for individuals at risk for infective endocarditis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poor oral hygiene as a risk factor for infective endocarditis–related bacteremia
Peter B. Lockhart,Michael T. Brennan,Martin H. Thornhill,Bryan S. Michalowicz,Jenene Noll,Farah K. Bahrani-Mougeot,Howell C. Sasser +6 more
TL;DR: Oral hygiene and gingival disease indexes were associated significantly with IE-related bacteremia after toothbrushing, and improvements in oral hygiene may reduce the risk of developing IE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical use of fluorodeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography for detection of renal cell carcinoma.
TL;DR: The role of fluorodeoxyglucose F 18 PET in the detection of RCC is limited by low sensitivity, but with superior specificity PET may have a complementary role as a problem solving tool in cases that are equivocal on conventional imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of oral epithelial dysplasia: a review
Michael T. Brennan,Cesar A. Migliorati,Peter B. Lockhart,David Wray,Ibtisam Al-Hashimi,Tony Axéll,Alison J. Bruce,William M. Carpenter,Ellen Eisenberg,Joel B. Epstein,Palle Holmstrup,Mats Jontell,Raj G. Nair,Howell C. Sasser,Mark Schifter,Sol Silverman,Kobkan Thongprasom,Martin H. Thornhill,Saman Warnakulasuriya,Isaäc van der Waal +19 more
TL;DR: No recommendations can be provided for specific surgical interventions of dysplastic oral lesions either because of the lack of randomized controlled trials that have shown effectiveness in the prevention of malignant transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Five years after traumatic brain injury: A study of individual outcomes and predictors of change in function
Flora M. Hammond,Karyn D. Grattan,Howell C. Sasser,John D. Corrigan,Mitchell Rosenthal,Tamara Bushnik,William H. Shull +6 more
TL;DR: Although the majority did not demonstrate meaningful change on the DRS items from year 1 to 5, some individuals made dramatic gains and a minority declined, suggesting there are demographic and functional indicators present at one-year post-injury that may be predictive of subsequent change.
