TL;DR: Gellan /xanthan showed superiority over gellan/HPMC in all studied parameters and is considered as a promising mucoadhesive nanoemulsion‐based ion induced in situ gelling formula for topical administration of acetazolamide.

TL;DR: Evaluating the effect of 2 different CAD/CAM systems on the marginal fit of 2 types of zirconia-based and lithium disilicate crowns showed that the Cerec inLab technique, ceramic type, and their interaction had a statistically significant effect on the mean marginal Fit of both ceramic types tested.
Abstract: Statement of problem Different types of CAD/CAM systems are currently available, but information regarding which system produces the best marginal fit is lacking. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 2 different CAD/CAM systems (Cerec inLab, Kavo Everest) on the marginal fit of 2 types of zirconia-based and lithium disilicate crowns. Material and methods Forty zirconia-based and lithium disilicate crowns, 20 each, were fabricated with the Cerec inLab and Everest CAD/CAM systems on a specially designed stainless steel die to ensure the standardization of specimen shape and dimensions. The vertical marginal fit for all tested crowns was evaluated by using a digital microscope at ×100 magnification, and the data were tabulated and statistically analyzed with 2-way ANOVA, followed by the Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) test with a confidence level of .05 to determine the mean differences. Results The results showed that the CAD/CAM technique, ceramic type, and their interaction had a statistically significant effect on the mean marginal fit of both ceramic types tested. Conclusions Better marginal fit values were exhibited by the Everest CAD/CAM technique for both ceramic types tested.

TL;DR: The role of the levator ani muscle (LAM) in evacuation, sexual performance and pelvic floor disorders is reviewed and levator dysfunction syndrome, which may present as pudendal canal syndrome is reviewed.
Abstract: This paper reviews the role of the levator ani muscle (LAM) in evacuation, sexual performance and pelvic floor disorders. The LAM fixes the vesical neck, anorectal junction and vaginal fornices to the side wall of the pelvis by means of the suspensory sling and hiatal ligament. On contraction it shares in the mechanism of evacuation (urination, defecation). During the sexual act vaginal distension by the erect penis evokes the vaginolevator and vaginopuborectalis reflexes, with a resulting LAM contraction. The LAM also contracts upon stimulation of the clitoris or cervix uteri, an action mediated through clitoromotor and cervicomotor reflexes. LAM contraction leads to upper vagina ballooning, which acts as receptacle for semen collection, to uterine elevation and straightening and to elongation and narrowing of the vagina. These actions enhance the sexual response and prepare the uterus and vagina for the reproductive process. During ejaculation LAM contraction facilitates semen ejection. Levator subluxation and sagging leads to levator dysfunction syndrome, which may present as pudendal canal syndrome.

TL;DR: Comparing the effectiveness of MCGR versus TGR for the treatment of early-onset scoliosis found major curve correction was similar between MCGR and TGR patients throughout treatment.
Abstract: Introduction Traditional growing rod (TGR) surgery is a treatment technique commonly used for progressive early-onset scoliosis. Studies have shown that repeated TGR lengthenings can significantly increase the risk of complications. Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) are currently available outside of the United States and early results have been promising. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of MCGR versus TGR for the treatment of early-onset scoliosis. Methods Magnetically controlled growing rod patients were selected based on the following criteria: aged less than 10 years, major curve greater than 30°, thoracic height less than 22 cm, no previous spine surgery, and minimum 2-year follow-up. A total of 17 MCGR patients met the inclusion criteria, 12 of whom had complete data available for analysis. Each MCGR patient was matched with a TGR patient by etiology, gender, single versus dual rods, preoperative age, and preoperative major curve. Results Magnetically controlled growing rod patients had a mean age of 6.8 years and mean follow-up of 2.5 years. Mean follow-up was greater for TGR patients by 1.6 years. Major curve correction was similar between MCGR and TGR patients throughout treatment. The MCGR patients experienced an average of 8.1 mm/year increase in T1–S1 during the lengthening period, compared with 9.7 mm/year for TGR patients (p = .73). There was a mean increase in T1–T12 of 1.5 mm/year for MCGR patients and 2.3 mm/year for TGR patients (p = .83). The TGR patients had 73 open surgeries, 56 of which were lengthenings. The MCGR patients had 16 open surgeries and 137 noninvasive lengthenings. Three TGR patients underwent 5 unplanned revision surgeries whereas 3 MCGR patients underwent 4 unplanned revisions. Conclusions Major curve correction was similar between MCGR and TGR patients throughout treatment. Annual T1–S1 and T1–12 growth was also similar between groups. The MCGR patients had 57 fewer surgical procedures than TGR patients. Incidence of unplanned surgical revisions as a result of complications was similar between groups.

TL;DR: AF termination during ablation (conversion to AT or SR) could predict the mode of arrhythmia recurrence (AT vs. AF) but did not impact the long-term SR maintenance after one or two procedures.
