Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been considered as a potential therapy for the treatment of periodontal defects arising from periodontitis. However, issues surrounding their accessibility and proliferation in culture significantly limit ability to be used mainstream approach. It is therefore important that alternative, easily accessible, safe populations identified. Controlled induction induced pluripotent (iPSC) into MSC-like emerging an attractive source obtaining large regenerative...
Background and Objective The complex microenvironment of the periodontal wound creates many challenges associated with multitissue regeneration lesions. Recent characterization mesenchymal stem cell‐like populations residing in ligament tissues has shown that these cells exhibit features postnatal cells. Despite advances, a lack consistency design preclinical studies limited study allogeneic transplantation applications restricted our understanding their clinical utility treatment disease....
The aims of this study were to evaluate the microbiological trends in severe odontogenic infections requiring hospital admission South Australian Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit. Rates antibiotic resistance empirical regimens determined quantify clinical implications antibiotic-resistant infections.A retrospective case audit was performed on all admitted Royal Adelaide Hospital over a 9-year period. Data collected regarding demographics, culture sensitivity results, outcome variables.Of...
Acute odontogenic infections are a common surgical emergency managed by public hospitals in Australia which cause considerable patient morbidity and occasionally, mortality. Despite posing significant health burden, Australian data evaluating the cost of management these patients lacking. This study assessed treatment variables associated with inpatient deep infections, their respective financial impact, at statewide Oral & Maxillofacial service.A retrospective audit was carried out our...
Abstract Background The TRED-HF trial (1) found that 44% of patients with recovered dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) relapsed in the short term after withdrawal medical therapy. longer-term risk relapse is uncertain. Purpose This follow-up aims to investigate DCM and any possible predictive factors. Methods participants were followed until May 2023. primary outcome was defined as >10% reduction left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction <50%, doubling N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic...
The ectopic placement of mandibular third molars in the subcondylar region is an uncommon phenomenon. Most patients are asymptomatic but can present with acute infection or associated pathology necessitating surgical intervention. Surgical approaches have been described utilizing both extraoral and intraoral to region. This paper presents a clinical report patient presenting fascial space arising from molar region, managed removal via endoscopically assisted approach.
Abstract Background Few studies have assessed the relationship between different emergency general surgery models and staff satisfaction, operative experience or working hours. The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons recommends maximum on‐call frequency one‐in‐four for surgeons registrars. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted all medium‐ to major‐sized Australian public hospitals offering elective surgery. At each site, an registrar senior surgeon were invited participate....
ObjectiveEmergency general surgery (EGS) patients experience superior outcomes when cared for within an acute surgical unit (ASU) model. EGS structures in most Australian hospitals remain unknown.
