Впервые в России изучена распространенность радикулярной борозды на латеральном резце верхней челюсти. Цель исследования — оценка частоты встречаемости аномалии, ее расположения, типа и зависимости от пола. Для выявления нёбно-радикулярной борозды латерального резца верхней челюсти изучили конусно-лучевые компьютерные томограммы (КЛКТ) 1002 пациентов (500 женщин и 502 мужчин) от 13 до 85 лет, выполненные в 2017—2023 гг. на базе клиники «Альфа-стоматология» (Рязань). Частота встречаемости данной аномалии составляет 4,2% (4,6% у женщин и 3,8% у мужчин). Частота обнаружения на мезиальной поверхности — 9,5%, на центральной — 40,2%, на дистальной — 52,4%. Нёбно-радикулярная борозда является аномалией развития, которая часто приводит к заболеваниям тканей пародонта и эндодонтическим патологиям. Компьютерная томография — основной метод для ее диагностики.
The prevalence of the radicular groove on the lateral maxillary incisor was studied for the first time in Russia. The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of occurrence of the anomaly, its location, type, and dependence on sex. . Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 1002 patients (500 females and 502 males), aged 13—85 years, performed in 2017—2023 at the clinic “Alpha-Dentistry” (Ryazan, Russia) were studied to identify the palatal radicular groove of the maxillary lateral incisor. . The frequency of occurrence of this anomaly is 4.2% (4.6% in females and 3.8% in males). The frequency of detection was 9.5% on the mesial surface, 40.2% on the central surface, and 52.4% on the distal surface. . The palatal radicular groove is a developmental anomaly that often leads to periodontal diseases and endodontic pathologies. Computed tomography is the main method for its diagnosis.

Цель — выявить взаимосвязь между скелетной формой патологии окклюзии и смещением диска височно-нижнечелюстного сустава (ВНЧС). Изучили данные 48 пациентов со скелетной формой нарушения прикуса и не предъявляющих жалобы на ВНЧС. Всем пациентам проведен цефалометрический анализ на основании данных КТ, выполнена МРТ ВНЧС с открытым и закрытым ртом для определения положения суставного диска. Передняя дислокация суставного диска отмечалась у 36 (75%) пациентов. Из них с I классом по Энглю (нормоокклюзией) — 4 (8%) пациента (все с асимметрией ветвей нижней челюсти), со II классом (дистальной окклюзией) — 28 (58%) пациентов, из них 26 (54%) с асимметрией ветвей нижней челюсти, с III классом (мезиальной окклюзией) — 4 (8%) пациента, все с асимметрией ветвей нижней челюсти. Среди пациентов, не предъявляющих жалобы на ВНЧС, смещение суставного диска выявлено у пациентов с дистальной окклюзией (58% случаев) и асимметрией ветвей нижней челюсти (70% случаев), что свидетельствует об асимптомной или молчащей патологии сустава, которая может увеличить риск возможных рецидивов после проведенного ортодонтического лечения и/или ортогнатических операций, а также приводить к обострению заболевания ВНЧС.
Purpose — Identifying if there is any relationship between skeletal patterns of malocclusion and TMJ disc displacement. . 48 patients with skeletal patterns of malocclusion and no complaints about the TMJ were examined. To determine the disc position, all the patients underwent CT and MRI analysis with their mouth open and closed. . Anterior disc displacement was observed in 36 patients (75%). 4 patients (8%) out of the sample presented with Angle Class I and asymmetry of the mandibular rami, 28 patients (58%) had Class II and 26 patients (54%) of this subgroup had asymmetry of the mandibular rami, 4 patients (8%) had Class III, all with asymmetry of the mandibular rami. . 58% of the patients with disc displacement had Class II and 70% presented with asymmetry of the mandibular rami. It shows that this joint pathology can be asymptomatic with no outward manifestations thus resulting in higher risk of possible relapse after orthodontic treatment and/or orthognathic procedures and exacerbating TMJ disease.

Радиойодтерапия — один из важнейших элементов комбинированного лечения заболеваний щитовидной железы. Она применяется в зависимости от степени послеоперационного риска рецидива заболевания и при отдаленных метастазах. Побочный эффект воздействия радиойодтерапии на слюнные железы может возникать в раннем и позднем периодах. Несмотря на множество работ, посвященных сиалоадениту после радиойодтерапии, в настоящее время отсутствует четкая характеристика радиоиндуцированного сиалоаденита и стандарта диагностики. Изучали частоту структурно-функциональных нарушений слюнных желез у 45 пациентов с заболеваниями щитовидной железы, получавших лечение с использованием йода-131. Использовали основные, частные и специальные методы обследования слюнных желез. Наиболее частое клиническое вовлечение слюнных желез, периодическое увеличение выявлено с двух сторон у 38% пациентов, у 53% — с одной стороны. Одновременное поражение околоушных и поднижнечелюстных слюнных желез обнаружено у 9% пациентов. Околоушные слюнные железы (85% случаев) более чувствительны к развитию постлучевого сиалоаденита, чем поднижнечелюстные (15% случаев). В большинстве случаев определяется структурно-функциональная состоятельность слюнных желез. Необратимые изменения в основном развиваются в одной слюнной железе. Наблюдается связь между отсутствием выделения секрета из выводного протока с отсутствием контрастирования внутрижелезистых протоков.
Radiotherapy is one of the most important elements of the combined treatment of thyroid diseases, it is used depending on the degree of postoperative risk of recurrence of the disease and in the case of distant metastases. The side effect of radioiodine therapy on the salivary glands may occur in the early and late periods. Despite the many works devoted to sialoadenitis after radioiodine therapy, there is currently no clear characteristic of radio-induced sialoadenitis and a standard of diagnosis. . The frequency of structural and functional disorders of the salivary glands was studied in 45 patients with thyroid diseases treated with iodine-131. Basic, private and special methods of examination of the salivary glands were used. . The most frequent clinical manifestation of salivary gland involvement, periodic enlargement, was detected on both sides in 38% of patients, in 53% — on the one hand. Simultaneous damage to the parotid and submandibular salivary glands was found in 9% of patients. Parotid salivary glands (85% of cases) are more sensitive to the development of postradiative sialoadenitis than submandibular glands (15% of cases). . In most cases, the structural and functional consistency of the salivary glands is determined. Irreversible changes develop mainly in one salivary gland. There is a connection between the lack of secretion from the excretory duct and the lack of contrast between the intragastric ducts.

The genetic basis of gram-negative bacteria resistant to antimicrobials isolated from invasive infections in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: ANTON Maria 
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Despite the efforts made and measures taken to combat antimicrobial resistance, alarming levels of resistance in gram-negative bacteria continue to be reported on a global scale. The antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of these bacteria represent the main cause of therapeutic failures.
Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of strains of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii isolated from patients with invasive infections was conducted for the period 2020-2023. Screening for carbapenemase-producing strains was performed based on sensitivity to antimicrobial agents tested using the Vitek-2 compact automated system. Confirmation of resistance mechanisms was achieved through multiplex PCR molecular biology technique.
Results. The analysis of the obtained data indicates high resistance among strains of K. pneumoniae to fluoroquinolones (77.2%), while the majority of E. coli strains were resistant to penicillins (53.5%). Concerningly, non-fermentative bacilli strains also present alarming figures, with over 60.0% of P. aeruginosa strains resistant to penicillins, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, carbapenems, and over 80.0% of A. baumannii strains resistant to all tested antimicrobial groups. The resistance enzyme OXA-48 was detected in 91.7% of K. pneumoniae strains and 15.6% of E. coli strains, while the blaNDM resistance gene was detected in 15.9% of P. aeruginosa isolates, and the blaOXA-23 gene was identified in 55.2% of A. baumannii isolates.
Conclusions. The rapid identification of multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacilli ensures the success of therapy for infections caused by them, and monitoring resistance profiles is an essential step for subsequent actions to combat antimicrobial resistance.

Dirofilariasis Causing Pediatric Acute Scrotum: A Case Series and Review of the Literature
Authors: Wijekoon Naveen , Antony Diroji , Muhunthan Tharushihan , Samarasinghe Malik 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Dirofilarial infestation has been reported as an extremely rare cause of pediatric acute scrotum. We aimed to evaluate clinical, radiological, and intraoperative findings of children who underwent surgical management for acute scrotum due to dirofilariasis in an endemic country.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective study of patient records of children who underwent surgery for acute scrotum due to dirofilariasis between 2018 and 2022.

Results:
There were eight emergency presentations for acute scrotum due to dirofilariasis. Three presentations (37.5%) were not associated with scrotal pain. The median age at presentation was 59 (range: 19–100) months. Four patients (67.7%) underwent emergency scrotal exploration at the first presentation and another one during the second presentation. Recurrent episodes were seen in two patients who were initially managed nonsurgically with antibiotics alone. Ultrasonography was performed in all six patients and revealed a parasitic nodule in three (50%).

Conclusions:
Dirofilariasis causing acute scrotum may cause significant diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. It may resemble idiopathic scrotal edema since it predominantly affects boys under 6 years of age and is painless in a significant proportion. However, left unoperated, it appears to have a high recurrence rate.
Persistent Cloaca and Cloacal Variants in Males: Qualitative Review of a Neglected Anomaly
Authors: Gupta Rahul , Radhakrishnan Jayant 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Context:
Cloacal malformations are rare and are typically reported in females. There are a few scattered reports in males. It is not clear why they are so rare in males since both sexes negotiate this stage of embryonal development.

Aims:
The present study aims to share our experience and review all the cases of persistent cloaca and cloacal variants in males reported in the literature.

Materials and Methods:
The male cloaca is defined as a single common channel of varying lengths with separate inlets for the urinary tract (urethra) anteriorly and the rectum posteriorly at its cranial end and with a solitary perineal orifice/opening for external drainage. We also carried out an electronic literature search for cloaca, persistent cloaca, common cloaca, cloacal dysgenesis, cloacal malformation, cloacal membrane agenesis, urorectal malformation sequence, rectourinary perineal fistula, sirenomelia, and caudal regression syndrome.

Results:
After eliminating other cloacal anomalies and persistent cloaca in females, we found a total of 22 males with persistent cloaca or cloacal variant reported in the literature. In addition, we are adding two cases we have managed since our previous report.

Conclusions:
An effort should be made to search for the presence of the common channel in male patients with a single perineal opening. Recognition of the anomaly, width of the common cloacal channel, location of the rectal pouch with relation to the sacrum or pubis, status of the spine and sacrum, and nature of the anal sphincter are vital pieces of information to successfully manage the anomaly. It would be worthwhile if future reports on the subject also include long-term information about urinary and fecal functions and continence.
