Abstract Denture impacted in the esophagus of adults has been a complex foreign body for otolaryngologists. We reviewed clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of these patients and evaluated computed tomography (CT) scans to identify a better method of dealing with such tricky situations. Twenty-nine patients who underwent rigid esophagoscopy were included in this retrospective study conducted at the University hospital. The patients underwent preoperative tests and...

Abstract In this paper, we present an analysis of the exploitation of medium‐sized deer in the lower Paraná wetland by pre‐Columbian hunter‐gatherers. To achieve this goal, we developed an osteometric frame of reference for the proper identification of hunted medium‐sized deer, and the sex and age of captured individuals. An analysis of 13 archaeofaunal assemblages showed that Ozotoceros bezoarticus (“pampas deer”) was the medium‐sized deer that was hunted with exclusivity. The presence of Mazama...

Abstract A common problem in forensic anthropology is the pair‐matching of left and right bone antimeres. Several osteometric sorting models have been proposed in the last 20 years, with a recent acceleration in new methodological articles bringing sometimes contradictory results or recommendations. These debates demonstrate the need for a statistical tool both accurate and easily applicable by the final user. We present here an approach based on quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA). This approach...

Macrophages are important for effective iron recycling and erythropoiesis, but also play a crucial role in wound healing, orchestrating tissue repair. Recently, we demonstrated a significant accumulation of iron in healing wounds, and a requirement of iron for effective repair. Here, we sought to determine the influence of iron on macrophage function in the context of wound healing. Interestingly, wound macrophages extensively sequestered iron throughout healing, associated with a pro-healing M2...

Previous reports have suggested a possible association between tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors, used in the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). However, a comprehensive assessment of the frequency and severity of MRONJ caused by these agents is lacking. The aim of this cohort study was to investigate the occurrence of MRONJ in a population of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with TNF-α inhibitors...

Recurrence of Crohn’s disease (CD) after surgery is a major concern. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties and induces endoscopic remission in patients with ulcerative colitis. We investigated the efficacy of curcumin vs placebo in preventing post-operative recurrence of CD, based on endoscopic and clinical indices, in patients receiving concomitant thiopurine therapy.

Abstract Current techniques for measuring breathing in accident and injury cases can be irregular and inaccurate. Intuitive methods in many countries are used in situ to detect low-level respiration and vital signs from individuals in health risk (e.g. fainting, car collision, unconsciousness). This subjectivity in many cases is life or death, especially when sufferers are treated right in place. In this research, we adapt a medical device, namely a facial mask, to measure low...

Abstract Medical institutions face serious problems, such as growing elderly population and lack of doctors. Telemedicine and remote health monitoring system (RHMS) intend to tackle these problems by slightly shortening hospital stays. RHMS reduces the burden on patients with primary care and improves communication among different health units to reduce the burden on emergency departments. Several healthcare studies have attempted to replace hospital visits with RHMS to deliver...
