INTRODUCTION: Ossification disorders can affect the stylohyoid ligament as well the stylomandibular ligament. The symptomathology between those syndromes and other pathologies it has been a problem because there is not a guideliness. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: With the aim to establish prevalence, diagnosis and etiopathogenesis of Eagle and Ernest syndromes, a scoping review was performed base on PRISMA criteria. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: 93 articles were selected to review stylohyoid ligament and Eagle syndrome...

INTRODUCTION: Recent studies have shown that His-bundle pacing could be an alternative in patients requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy as it is comparable or better in terms of amelioration of ventricular activation, narrowing of the QRS complex, or clinical outcomes. However, in case of high threshold at the level of His-bundle or inability to correct conduction through a diseased His-Purkinje system other option should be searched like left bundle pacing. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 77-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department for dizziness and dizziness and lightheadedness due to an intermittent 2:1 atrioventricular block with a QRS complex morphology of a major left branch block...

A diagnosis of occupational diseases implicates some medical and legal consequences; therefore, the most specific and objective methods are needed in the diagnostic process. Specific inhalation challenge (SIC) tests currently play an irreplaceable role in diagnosing allergic airway diseases (e.g., allergic rhinitis, asthma) as well as allergic conjunctivitis and systemic reactions, also the occupational ones. In 2014, a team of the European Respiratory Society experts published a statement that provides practical recommendations for performing SIC tests in diagnosing occupational asthma...

Hypertension (HTN) in children and adolescents is an important pathology, of, guarded prognosis, associated with modifiable and non-modifiable factors. The estimated prevalence is around 3.5% which increases progressively with age. The ideal method for its diagnosis is the measurement of blood pressure (BP) with auscultatory instruments. According to the American Academy of Pedia trics (AAP), BP should be measured in children older than three years of age once a year, and in children younger than three years of age if they present risk factors...

INTRODUCTION: Detection and examination of proper number of lymph nodes in patients after rectal resection is important for next treatment and management of patients with rectal carcinoma. There are no clear guideliness for minimal count of lymph nodes, variant recommendations agree on the number of 12 (1014) nodes. There are situations, when is not easy to reach this count, mainly in older age groups and in patients after neoadjuvant, especially radiation therapy. As a modality for improvement of lymph nodes harvesting seems to be establishing of defined protocols originally designed for mesorectal excision quality evaluation...

Hypertension (HT) in children and adolescents is an important pathology, associated with modi fiable and non-modifiable factors. In the pediatric, the prevalence of HT is around 3.5%, and it in creases progressively with age. The ideal method for diagnosis is the measurement of blood pressure (BP) with auscultatory instruments. As published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), BP should be measured in children over 3 years of age once a year, and in children under 3 years of age, if it presents risk factors...

CONTEXT: Guidelines in medical imaging are aimed at increasing the appropriateness of prescriptions, eliminating unnecessary examina- tions, reducing the exposure of the population and minimizing the costs to public health. METHOD: Our analysis is based on a bibliographic search and the discussions of the " quality " working group of the BELMIP platform. RESULTS: The introduction in 2004 and its 2014 revision of the guideliness in medical imaging in Belgium had no measurable effect on the imaging prescription...

INTRODUCTION: Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) are a set of recommendations for professionals, patients, and families, in order to make decisions about health care. The CPG respond to the need for concise, accurate, practical, and up to date information. In the field of mental health, Colombia has developed three GPC; alcohol (GPC-OH), depression (GPC-TDA), and schizophrenia. OBJECTIVES: To describe the Web Portal traffic related to psychiatry guidelines, with emphasis on the number of visits, distribution throughout Colombian cities, and estimating user behaviour patterns...

OBJECTIVE: To identify existing return-to-work (RTW) guidelines following a sickness absence (SA) due to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and evaluate their methodological quality. METHODS: We performed a systematic search for RTW guideliness written in English, Spanish and Catalan, that included total or partial information on MSD. The identified guidelines were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively by seven experts using the validated AGREE method. Standardized scores for each domain were calculated for each of the guidelines, as well as the median of the experts scores for each of the items...

Fractures of the femoral shaft around cemented hip prosthesis have become increasingly common and are difficult to manage. These fractures are often complex and may occur late after the insertion of a cemented prosthesis. They often occur in relation to cortical defects produced by cement and previous surgery. The main classifications already described can be divided into "anatomic" classifications (founded on the level of the fracture on the shaft: Parrish 1964, Ali Khan 1977, Van Elegem 1979) or into "prosthetic" classifications (founded on the level of the fracture with respect to the tip of the prosthesis: Johansson 1981, Bethea 1982, Cooke 1988)...

Obstetric injury comprising tearing of the rectovaginal septum, rectal mucosa, and anal sphincter complex with limited or no involvement of the perineal body may implicate the sudden appearance of an elbow, foot or head in the anal orifice during the second phase of labour. This complex type of obstetric injury is highly uncommon and reports have rarely been published. There are no guideliness as to how to respond to this obstetric emergency and there is no time for consultation. In order to reach clinical recommendations on repair and management of this unexpected obstetric injury for the midwife or obstetrician, we report three such cases...

The proliferation in genetic association studies, and the recurring failure of initially promising findings to robustly replicate, demonstrates the need for stringent standards to ensure the identification of credible associations. The Human Genome Epidemiology Network has recently published intermin guideliness on evidential criteria for genetic association studies. These are reviewed, and their value and importance discussed, as well as the impact these guidelines will have on the conduct of genetic association studies...

Nursing home patinets are becoming more numerous and now form a part of most family physicians' practices. Physicians wishing to do more nursing home care require guideliness for preventing unnecessary nursing home admissions, for scheduling visits, and for making transfers to hospital. Multi-disciplinary conferences and good basic documentation are valuable in the nursing home. Therapy with medication may be a problem, especially if changes in compliance and independence as a therapeutic end-point are not borne in mind...

Approximately 70-80% of all cancer patients receiving chemotherapy experience nausea and/or vomiting. Nausea and vomiting are important side effects of cancer treatment, which can significantly affect a patient's quality of life, leading to poor compliance with further chemotherapy treatment. The main principle of emesis control is prevention. Currently available antiemetic agents corticosteroids, 5-hydroxytriptamine receptor antagonists, and neurokinin-1 antagonists, are used alone or in combination. Antiemetic regimen should be chosen based on the emetogenic potential of the chemotherapy regimen, previous experience with antiemetics, and patient-specific risk factors...

Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Israel and the main cause for neurological disability among adults. Continued efforts for its prevention and treatment began a long time ago and currently persist. During the last decade, these efforts have resulted in a number of significant breakthroughs. Consequently, several new guidelines and consensus statements from Europe and North America have been published. In Israel, up to date, guidelines have been published only for acute stroke treatment, as well as for its prevention by medical means...

AIM: The aim of the present study was to test the effects of different body on BP readings in a Turkish healthy young adults. BACKGROUND: It is known that many factors influence an individual's blood pressure measurement. However, guideliness for accurately measuring blood pressure inconsistently specify that patient's position and they should keep feet flat on the floor. Although there are more information on arm position in blood pressure measurement, surprisingly little information can be found in the literature with respect to the influence of body position on the blood pressure readings in healthy young people...

The American Academy of Pediatric DEntistry is regularly publishing updates of protocols and guidelines. The article Dutch summary of and comment on a special issue of the journal Pediatric Dentistry with evaluated protocols and articles on guidelines for dentists. The protocols have been adapted to modern insights, but not very practical described. To use these protocols and guideliness in Dutch pediatric dentistry, it is advocated to take into consideration the individual child's age and behaviour and to base one's strategies on data of randomized clinical trials...
