Screening tests for predicting the prognosis of oral intake in elderly patients with acute pneumonia
In this study we aimed to develop a simple and convenient method that predicts the prognosis of oral intake as nutrition among elderly patients with acute stage pneumonia. Participants were 77 inpatients fasting due to aspiration risk with acute pneumonia. (86.0 ± 7.7 years; range 68–105 years; men: n = 34, women: n = 43) during September 2011 and August 2013. Their consciousness levels were determined by Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and swallowing function and cough reflex were evaluated by repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST), modified water swallow test, simple swallowing provocation test and cough test. Oral intake status at discharge was considered as the objective variable, and these tests were considered as explanatory variables. Then receiver operating characteristic (RO…

Maxillary tuberosity fracture and ophthalmologic complications following removal of maxillary third molar
We report maxillary tuberosity fracture and ophthalmologic complications following removal of maxillary third molar. A 35?year?old female underwent removal of left maxillary third molar at private dental clinic. Following the complete extraction, excessive haemorrhage occurred and maxillary tuberosity fracture was seen and the patient was brought by ambulance to our hospital. The bleeding was controlled by vacuum?formed splint and nasal packing. Computed tomography revealed that lateral maxillary tuberosity and posterior wall of the maxillary sinus was defect and there was a slight intraorbital haematoma via the inferior orbital fissure as well as with extension in the maxillary sinus and adjacent spaces such as buccal, masticator, pterygomaxillary and infratemporal spaces.
