A Rare Case of Functional Ectopic Hyperthyroidism: Struma Ovarii
Authors: Lata Indu , Kapoor Deepa 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare special type of monodermal teratoma of ovary that predominantly consists of thyroid tissue (> 50%). In only 5 to 20% of cases hyperthyroidism is seen due to functional SO. We are reporting here a case of unilateral benign cystic SO in a 50-year-old postmenopausal lady presented with pain and heaviness in lower abdomen without any signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Pelvic ultrasonogram showed right side tubo-ovarian mass and was planned for laparotomy. In preoperative investigation subclinical hyperthyroidism was diagnosed. Abdominal exploration showed cystic mass lesion in right ovary. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathological examination diagnosed the mass as benign cystic SO. Patient became euthyroid after surgical removal of tumor.

Authors: Raju C Mahendra , Gunupati Sumanth , Babu Madisetty Mahesh , Reddy C Sameer Kumar , Biradavolu Sukrutha , Saravanan M 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Implant-supported prosthesis has high predictability and success and improves quality of life. This study aims at assessing awareness among the patients regarding implantsupported prosthesis.

Materials and methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 391 study participants. A structured questionnaire was distributed to assess implant-related awareness among the study participants. The questionnaires were analyzed for the responses.

Results
Among the 391 respondents, 37.5% of the respondents reported having moderate knowledge regarding the tooth replacement options. Nearly 50% considered implants as a viable treatment option. The majority of them enlisted the dentist as the major source of information regarding implants, and media had a share of about 7.03% only. High cost was a major barrier in selecting implants as a treatment option.

Conclusion
This survey showed that awareness among people was low regarding the dental implants. Efforts need to be directed to increase the awareness levels by utilizing media as a tool to achieve the target.

Clinical significance
A patient who is aware of the advantages of the implant-supported dentures will make an informed decision for better functional stability and retention of the denture, especially in the mandibular arch.

Glucose Levels and Hemodynamic Changes in Patients submitted to Routine Dental Extraction under Local Anesthesia with and without Adrenaline
Authors: Byakodi Sanjay , Gurjar Vivek , Soni Sushant 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT

Introduction
In maxillofacial surgery, the simplest procedure that we perform is dental extraction. However, this simple procedure is challenged by the patient's poor medical condition. We generally use local anesthesia in combination with adrenaline; however, as we come across patients with diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases who seek dental extraction, we need to be doubly cautious while using adrenaline. In this study, we intend to compare the effects of local anesthesia with adrenaline and local anesthesia without adrenaline on hemodynamic changes (blood pressure and pulse rate) and random blood sugar levels. The comparison is both within the group and between the two groups.

Materials and methods
Healthy patients between the ages 20 and 60 years were included and randomized into two groups of 50 each. In one group, plain local anesthesia was used, whereas in the other group, local anesthetic solution containing adrenaline was used. Medically compromised patients were excluded from the study. Random blood sugar levels, blood pressures, and pulse rates were recorded in both groups before and 10 minutes after injecting the solutions. The findings were compared.

Results
When results are compared within the group, a modest increase in the blood sugar level was noted with the group receiving local anesthetic with adrenaline. However, blood pressure and pulse rate showed no significant difference. Similarly, when between-the-groups comparison was done, not a single variable showed any significant difference.

Conclusion
The patients injected with local anesthesia containing adrenaline showed similar results to that observed in the patients injected with local anesthesia without adrenaline. However, there is a statistically significant rise in blood sugar levels when a local anesthetic is injected with adrenaline.

Clinical significance
Dental extractions in healthy individuals can be safely performed with local anesthetic containing adrenaline. However, in diabetic patients, it should be cautiously used.

Swinging Replantation: A Possible Protocol for the Management of Inverted Impacted Upper Central Incisor Tooth
Authors: Bello Seidu A , Enebong Deborah J , Obi Emeka V 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTIntroductionInverted tooth impaction is a rare occurrence. Third molar impaction is the most extensively studied, and only eight cases of inverted third molars have been reported in a literature search of 40 years from 1973 to 2013. In a study, 43.4% of the premaxillary supernumeraries were inverted and 21.1% were transversely oriented, while occasional inverted central incisors have been mentioned in the literature. Severe dilaceration makes the management of this case a big challenge. The case of an 8-year-old boy with an inverted, rotated, and impacted upper left central incisor obstructed by an odontome is presented here. Under local anesthesia, the odontome was excised; the inverted tooth was swung and repositioned. The patient experienced uneventful healing, and with 30 months follow-up, progressive tooth eruption has been observed. Vitality test is positive, while radiologically there was no sign of resorption. Swinging replantation is a protocol that has been used for the management of an inverted, rotated, and impacted central incisor. Open root apex is an important factor in the selection of the method. The minimal periodontal damage prevents inflammatory and replacement resorption. With some clear advantages over options like orthodontic and prosthetic replacement, it could be a method to be considered in the management of severely dilacerated central incisors.The clinical significance is that even though management of a severely malpositioned tooth has always been a big challenge in dental practice, requiring extraction and prosthodontic replacement, swinging replantation provides a possible protocol of tooth retention, i.e., less expensive and associated with fewer hospital visits.How to cite this articleBello SA, Enebong DJ, Obi EV.

Dautrey's Procedure Revisited in Management of Recurrent Mandibular Dislocation
Authors: Baptist Joanna , Baliga Mohan 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Mandibular dislocation occurs when the condylar head glides out of the glenoid fossa with the condyle positioned in such a way that its posterior articulating surface lying ahead of the articular eminence. Recurrent mandibular dislocation is relatively uncommon. Patient is extremely distressed and goes through a lot of discomfort. Varied etiologies have been cited in the literature, such as keeping the mouth wide open for long periods of time during dental procedures, yawning, laughing, traumatic injuries to the mandible, psychiatric disturbances, and certain drugs. Acute dislocations are best managed immediately by reduction and intermaxillary fixation. However, dislocations that have remained over a period of a month are considered to be chronic and these cannot be reduced successfully by manual manipulation of the mandible.
Such chronic recurrent dislocations are surgically managed with eminectomy, meniscectomy, and condylotomies. A downward and forward osteotomy of the zygomatic arch in front of the articular eminence so as to produce a mechanical obstruction was recommended by Dautrey and Gosserez. This article will highlight the surgical experience of managing six patients with chronic recurrent dislocations of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) bilaterally employing Dautrey's procedure.

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea and is caused by complete or partial obstructions of the upper airway. In this study we are presenting a case report of 11-year-old male patient with enlarged adenoids and tonsils, convex profile, receded chin, lower lip trap, class II skeletal and dental relationship with increased overjet. Surgical removal of enlarged adenoids was done before commencement of twinblock therapy. After this, two-step advancement with expansion in both arches utilizing twin blocks was planned. Four months into the treatment, patient reported with history of facial trauma with avulsed maxillary left central incisor. Twin block was then modified with pontic as replacement for maxillary left central incisor. Sagittal correction resulting in class I molar relationship was achieved in next 6 months. Fixed appliance therapy was followed. The design of the appliance and the results achieved after the postfunctional therapy are presented in this case report.How to cite this articleMadhaswar AB, Ravindranath VK, Daga PN.

Ectodermal Dysplasia and Anodontia associated with Ring Chromosome 18
Authors: Mandal Shouvik 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTEctodermal dysplasia (ED) is a heritable condition and represents a multifarious group of diseases comprising different clinical signs and symptoms. The ED occurs as a result of disturbances in the ectoderm of the evolving embryo. Agenesis of teeth or anodontia is also the result of disturbance in this process, which prevents the proliferation of tooth buds. In the present case, an 18-month-old child with history of congenital anomalies (CAs), severely delayed developmental milestones, and mental retardation presented with complete anodontia and ED. The CA included pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary valvar regurgitation, ventricular septal defect (VSD), absence of grips, absence of head-holding capacity, inability to sit, simian crease (R), visual impairment with corectopia, blepharitis, lagophthalmos with cortical visual impairment, telecanthus, hypotrichosis, hypertelorism, high philtrum, high arched palate, degenerated nails, and depressed third toes. Routine karyotyping via peripheral blood culture revealed a ring chromosome 18, which was confirmed de novo after parental karyotyping. Although a straightforward association between r(18) and anodontia is yet to be established, it is apparent that anodontia coupled with multiple CA and systemic complications was caused by chromosomal/genetic mutations in the present case, and thus, this report strongly recommends phenotypic and genotypic examination in dental management in such a complex scenario.How to cite this articleMandal S, Kadam NN, Ram SM, Ganguly BB, Shenoy VU.

Free Gingival Autograft and Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft for the Treatment of Gingival Recession: A Brief Review and Report of Three Cases
Authors: Yadav Seema , Rijhwani Jaishree A , Kini Vineet V 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTGingival recession is the migration of the free gingival margin apical to the cementoenamel junction. There are various factors contributing toward gingival recession apart from periodontal disease that include faulty tooth brushing, tooth position or malaligned teeth, high muscle or frenal attachment, alveolar bone dehiscence, orthodontic forces, and iatrogenic factors leading to problems of esthetics, hypersensitivity, and root caries.Several periodontal plastic surgical techniques have been introduced in the previous literature aiming to correct marginal tissue recessions, the predictability of which depends upon careful evaluation of the defect type, presence of attached gingiva, keratinized tissue width, and presence of single or multiple gingival recessions. The use of free gingival graft (FGG) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in root coverage is indicated for the treatment of single or multiple gingival recessions. Although both FGGs and SCTGs provide significant reduction in recession depth and clinical attachment gain for Miller's Class I and II gingival recession defects, SCTG seems to offer root coverage with a better color match between donor and recipient site tissue rendering better esthetics. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of FGG and SCTG in root coverage procedures, the following case reports describe the clinical results using FGG by Miller's technique, and using SCTGs by technique of Langer and Langer, and Zabalegui tunnel technique for the treatment of gingival recession.How to cite this articleRijhwani JA, Kini VV, Pereira R, Yadav S.

A rare association of left atrial myxoma with rheumatic mitral stenosis
Authors: Vaidya Satyanarayana R , Devarapally Santhosh R 
Published: December 2016

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare. Atrial myxomas are the most common primary tumors and are commonly located in the left atrium. Myxomas can cause mitral valve inflow obstruction and can present with clinical signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis and the possibility of myxoma should be considered in differential diagnosis of mitral stenosis. Left atrial myxoma is rarely associated with rheumatic mitral stenosis. Transesophageal echocardiography plays a major role in the diagnosis of this tumor. We report a case of an extremely rare association between left atrial myxoma and rheumatic mitral stenosis. Because of its location and mobility, a thrombus in the left atrium may have a similar appearance to left atrial myxoma. However, a careful inspection of features of the left atrial mass may allow a diagnosis of left atrial myxoma. In our case, the site near the atrial septum, heterogeneous echogenicity, and detection of a stalk connecting the myxoma to the atrial septum were inspected. Such findings essentially exclude thrombus.

2016/54 Dismissing a Christian teacher for refusing to separate from her husband following conviction for sex offences was indirect religious discrimination (UK)
The Employment Appeal Tribunal has upheld an appeal against the finding that a committed Christian teacher who refused to separate from her husband following his conviction for sexual offences would have been dismissed regardless of her faith and therefore such a dismissal was not indirectly discriminatory. The EAT found instead that the Claimant was presented with the choice of having to separate from her husband or be dismissed which subjected people who have a faith-based commitment to marriage to a particular disadvantage.

2016/60 Special protection for disabled employees against termination of employment – international aspects (GE)
An employee may bring a claim for invalid termination before the German Labour courts, irrespective of the law governing the employment relationship. In Germany, it is only possible for an employer to dismiss a severely disabled person if the competent state authority grants a permit enabling it to do so. However, this requirement is limited to those with employment agreements under German Law.

Published: December 2016

<p class="PaperAbstract"><span lang="EN-US">Construction and general performance of a novel modified carbon paste electrode (MCPE) for determination of tropicamide (TPC) in pure form and pharmaceutical formulations have been examined. Tropicamide-tetraphenylborate (TPC–TPB) ion pair has been prepa­red and used as electroactive material. The best MCPE electrode was composed of 7 % ion-pair, 46.5 % dioctylphthalat and 46.5 % graphite powder. The electrode shows stable potentiometric response for TPC in the concentration range 0.3–221.0 µM at 25 °C and pH range of 2.0–8.0. The electrode exhibits near Nernstian slope of 59.71±0.30 mV/decade and lower limit of detection of 0.09 µM with fast response time (less than 15 s). The selectivity of the electrode (TPC–TPB) was investigated with respect to some organic and inorganic cations. The MCPE was designed to have better mechanical resistance. The proposed method was successfully applied for determination of TPC in eye drop formulation.</span></p>

In the present study, degree of volume replacement was found to be good in 13 patients and fair in 22 patients. 24 of the 35 patients had a good movement of prosthesis (>20 degrees of horizontal movement) and 11 patients had fair motility(10 to 20 degrees). Extrusion rate was nil.

Conclusions:
Evisceration with modified technique followed in the present study minimised the extrusion rates of PMMA implants with successful retention of the implant. In conclusion, evisceration with PMMA orbital implant can be an effective treatmentfor painful blind eyes with excellent postoperative outcome.
Regulation of BC200 RNA‐mediated translation inhibition by hnRNP E1 and E2
Authors: Jang Seonghui , Shin Heegwon , Lee Jungmin , Kim Youngmi , Bak Geunu , Lee Younghoon 
Published: December 2016

The long noncoding RNA BC200 (brain cytoplasmic RNA, 200 nucleotides) acts as a translational modulator of local protein synthesis at dendrites. BC200 RNA has been shown to inhibit translation in vitro, but it remains unknown how this translation inhibition might be controlled in a cell. Here, we performed yeast three‐hybrid screening and identified hnRNP E1 and hnRNP E2 as BC200 RNA‐interacting proteins. We found that: these hnRNA proteins could restore BC200 RNA‐inhibited translation; BC200 RNA interacts with hnRNP E1 and E2 mainly through its unique 3′ C‐rich domain; and the RNA binding specificities and modes of the two proteins differed somewhat. Our results offer new insights into the regulation of BC200 RNA‐mediated translation inhibition.
Decadal changes in salinity in the oceanic subtropical gyres
Authors: Melzer Bryce A. , Subrahmanyam Bulusu 
Published: December 2016

AbstractWe analyzed spatial and temporal salinity trends in five subtropical gyre regions over the past six decades using Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis with a focus on the subsurface salinity of the upper 1000 m of the ocean. Our results indicate an overall salinity increase within the mixed layer, and a salinity decrease at depths greater than 200 m in the global subtropical gyres over 61 years, of which each individual gyre was analyzed in further detail. We determine that freshwater fluxes at the air‐sea interface are the primary drivers of the sea surface salinity (SSS) signature over these open ocean regions by quantifying the advective contribution within the surface layer. This was demonstrated through a mixed layer salinity budget in each subtropical gyre based on the vertically integrated advection and entrainment of salt. Our analysis of decadal variability of fluxes into and out of the gyres reveals little change in the strength of the mean currents through this region despite an increase in the annual export of salt in all subtropical gyres, with the meridional component dominating the zonal. This study reveals that the salt content of E‐P maximum waters advected into the subtropical gyres is increasing over time. A combination of increasing direct evaporation over the regions with increasing remote evaporation over nearby E‐P maxima is believed to be the main driver in increasing salinity of the subtropical oceans, suggesting an intensification of the global water cycle over decadal time scales.
