At the next appointment, inferior alveolar nerve block was done with lidocaine 2% on the right side of the mandible (epinephrine 1/80 000). Notably, for all patients in the second group, the first injection was performed on the right second primary molar with articaine 4% (epinephrine 1/100 000), and inferior alveolar nerve block was also done with lidocaine 2% on the left side of the mandible (epinephrine 1/80 000). ResultsOf the 38 patients included in the current study, 10 (26.3%) subjects in the lidocaine group and nine (23.6%) in the articaine group complained of pain during their dental treatment procedures, but this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion According to the findings of this study, buccal infiltration of 4% articaine had a comparable anesthetic outcome to that of 2% lidocaine for inferior alveolar nerve block in pulp treatment of the second primary mandibular molars.Background The knowledge of sacral hiatus anatomy is crucial in clinical situations requiring caudal epidural block for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of the lumbosacral spine to avoid complications and failure rate. This study was undertaken to compare morphometric characteristics of sacral hiatus in human dry sacra and pelvic radiographs for placing the needle more accurately in the sacral hiatus landmarks to permit correct, painless, and uncomplicated caudal epidural accesses. Materials and methods The present study was done on 138 human adult dry sacra and 110 anteroposterior lumbosacral spine radiographs of the North Karnataka region of India. Sacral hiatus was evaluated in each sacrum based on its shape, level of its apex, and base according to sacral and coccygeal vertebrae, length, anteroposterior diameter at its apex, and transverse width at its base. ResultsThe mean length of sacral hiatus in men and women was 27.81+1.17 mm and 24.73+2.21 mm, respectively. The mean anteroposterior diaacral hiatus agenesis in both females (7.81%) and males (4.34%). The anatomical knowledge of sacral hiatus and its variations are important in caudal epidural anesthesia, and it may improve the success rate of caudal epidural anesthesia.Objectives The suprascapular notch is located on the lateral part of the superior border of the scapula. The anatomical variation of the notch is considered as one of the causes of suprascapular nerve entrapment. In the present study, we tried to evaluate the morphology and morphometry of the suprascapular notch of Indian human dry scapulae and to compare it with scapula morphometry, which is essential to understand and treat different causes of suprascapular nerve entrapment and to obtain a safe zone, which would be useful to avoid iatrogenic nerve lesion during open arthroscopic surgeries and help in designing implants for the shoulder joint. MethodsThis is an observational study, with a total of 200 human dry scapulae being observed, examined and studied in detail. The type of suprascapular notch was noted as per the description given by Rengachary et al. Digital Vernier Caliper was used for classical osteometric measurements of suprascapular notch parameters, posterior limit and posterosuperior limit of surgical procedures.Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency distribution of antibiotic therapy according to lumbar puncture outcome in hospitalized children. MethodsThis study was conducted on 94 children undergoing lumbar puncture. All data were extracted from medical records. Administration of primary treatments and initial diagnosis including febrile convulsion, meningitis, and encephalitis in these patients were based on a physician's opinion. ResultsThe majority of subjects were diagnosed with febrile convulsion. Antibiotic treatment before lumbar puncture was taken by 58 children. After lumbar puncture, 35 children discontinued antibiotic therapy, two patients were switched to another antibiotic treatment and 21 subjects continued antibiotic medication. In addition, 36 children did not take antibiotics. selleck kinase inhibitor Positive PCR was found in four cases from the encephalitis group. Conclusion After lumbar puncture, antibiotic treatment was continued in 23 cases, whereas administration of antibiotics could be justified only in four cases based on positive PCR. Given that antibiotic treatment of our subjects was initiated prior to lumbar puncture but it was changed in two cases and continued in 21 cases after the medical procedure, conducting lumbar puncture seemed to be not very useful in these patients, assuming that laboratory signs or symptoms could justify an antibiotic treatment.Objectives This study aimed to assess satisfaction and report on perceptions of General Practice (GP) residents during residency in Greece, through an online questionnaire at a national level. Material and methodsA mixed type method study was shaped. Both quantitative analysis and a quasiqualitative approach were used, while information from an open-ended question was processed. The study included answers of GP residents recruited with a national sample pool technique. ResultsThere were 177 responders from 430 registered residents. Using a grading system from 1 to 10, the median value showing how much satisfied the participants were during their training was 4.48 (95% CI 4.16-4.79), while GP logbook was regarded as useful (median value 6.29, 95% CI 5.84-6.73). The training program was reported as insufficient to prepare residents for their future work as primary health care physicians, with a median rating of 4.09 (95% CI 3.78-4.41). The overall educational gain was regarded as poor compared to residents' expectations, with a median rating of 4.71 (95% CI 4.38-5.07). From free text responses of 83 participants, an organized educational program based on logbook skill acquirement with interaction between coordinator and resident emerged as a priority. Conclusion Understanding general practitioners' perceptions, satisfaction level and expectations may help to design reform initiatives and cover their educational needs during residency in a holistic manner. Experience from local settings may be useful to offer more comprehensive messages. In a rapidly changing health environment, quickly collecting and analyzing emerging data appears to be a practical way for correcting decisions and avoiding previous errors.
