The aim of this study was to investigate associations between oral health literacy (OHL), self‐rated oral health (SROH), and oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) in Brazilian adults. A sample of 523 Brazilian adults completed the short‐form Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD‐14) and the Oral Health Impact Profile‐14 (OHIP‐14) instruments that measure OHL and OHRQoL, respectively. The prevalence ratios (PRs) for outcome variables and their 95% CIs were quantified. Multivariable log‐binomial...

For years, bleeding complications in patients undergoing transcatheter procedures, predominantly percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), were not included in the primary outcome of clinical trials. It was not until the REPLACE-2 (Randomized Evaluation in PCI Linking Angiomax to Reduced Clinical…

Abstract Background Tongue lift movement (TLM) is used as a therapy to improve tongue pressure against the hard palate for dysphagic patients. Objective The present study aimed to characterize the time‐dependent endurance changes of hyoid muscle activity and hyoid‐laryngeal displacement during TLM in different ways. Methods Sixteen young healthy volunteers were instructed to perform TLM at maximum effort (100%) against the anterior and posterior parts of the hard plate...

Abstract Background The two‐colour chewing test (TCCT) has been widely used for assessing oral mixing ability, a critical component of masticatory performance. Most studies focused on quantifying the evenness of colour distribution. It remained unknown if the variation of colour clustering was a valid index of oral mixing ability. Objective The study aims to investigate the oral mixing ability based on the spatial clusters quantified by variogram. Methods Fifty older people...

Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection occurring in the immunocompromised host. It is difficult to diagnose, and its cardiac involvement is extremely rare. Here, we report a 64‐year‐old Japanese man with a 5‐year history of hemodialysis with disseminated mucormycosis causing fulminant myocarditis and pulmonary necrosis under glucocorticoid use. Two months before, he had received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator and started to take amiodarone for recurrent ventricular arrhythmias due to...

Most primary liver cancers diagnosed in allograft livers are recurrent tumors of the native liver origin, while donor‐derived primary liver cancers are markedly less common. A 21‐year‐old woman who had liver transplantation for post‐Kasai biliary atresia was recently referred for post‐transplant biliary stricture. Her transplantation was performed at the age of 6 years using the whole liver graft from a 10‐year‐old donor and choledocho‐jejunostomy. The post‐transplant course was uneventful in the...

Esophageal pressure topography plots of supine wet swallows misdiagnosed as absent contractility and type 1 achalasia based on normal (top left) and abnromal (lower left) integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) respectively. Cholecystokinin (CCK) in a true type 1 achalasia (despite normal IRP) patient induces a paradoxical lower esophageal sphincter (LES) contraction (top right), and in true absent contractility (despite abnormal IRP) induces LES relaxation (lower right). Abstract Background Absent...
