The study was performed in five hospitals in Bangkok for a period of one year. All in- and outpatients who developed drug eruption from January to December 2001 were enrolled into the study. Physical examinations and complete history-taking were performed by one of the authors. A skin biopsy was done to confirm the diagnosis in every suspected case. Oral challenge test was performed to obtain a...

The mechanism of root formation and tooth eruption is a complex process which is not fully understood. Prior to a tooth emerging into the oral cavity, root genesis is initiated by derivatives of the enamel organ. The dental follicle mediates an eruption pathway allowing for movement of the developing tooth in a coronal direction. As the tooth moves towards the oral cavity, root formation occurs...

BACKGROUND Infants with Down syndrome are at increased risk for hematologic abnormalities, including leukemoid reaction, transient myeloproliferative disorder, and congenital leukemia. The differential diagnosis of a vesiculopustular eruption in an infant with Down syndrome and these hematologic abnormalities is broad and includes benign, self-limited disorders as well as life-threatening infec...

I examine the angular momentum evolution during the 1837-1856 Great Eruption of the massive star η Carinae. I find that the new estimate of the mass blown during that eruption implies that the envelope of η Car substantially spun-down during the 20 years eruption. Single-star models, most of which require the envelope to rotate close to the break-up velocity, cannot account for the bipolar nebu...

The principles behind the primary localization of lesions in fixed drug eruption are still unknown. Studies investigating the predilection areas indicated drug-related, trauma-related or inflammation-related specific site involvement in fixed drug eruption. This study presents new findings of primary site involvement on the maximal points of Head's zones. In the 3 cases reported here, fixed dru...

A 68-year-old man presented with a generalized papular eruption with oedema of the face and the hands, fever and pustulosis in intertriginous areas which had begun 1 day after starting treatment with EuvanolA nasal spray (plant extracts and benzalkonium chloride) and DolirhumA (paracetamol and pseudoephedrine). He has been hospitalized 8 years before for a similar eruption associated with hyper...

Dentigerous cyst (DC) is the second most common odontogenic cyst with greater incidence in young patients. It presents as a unilocular, asymptomatic radiolucency involving the crown of an impacted tooth, commonly noticed in X-rays to investigate absence, wrong tooth position, or delay in the chronology of eruption. Decompression/marsupialization (D/M) is the most implemented treatment, especial...

Introduction Eruption of deciduous teeth remains a rather sophisticated process. This paper gives a general overview of the process and explores on its implications. Overview Eruption of deciduous teeth may be divided into preeruptive tooth movement, eruptive tooth movement and post-occlusal tooth movement. Emergence of deciduous teeth is usually accompanied by teething symptoms. Mechanisms for...

A 65-year-old man had relapsed follicular lymphoma. When he suffered a fifth relapse, he received a regimen containing bendamustine and rituximab (BR). Four weeks later, he presented with systemic erythema, swelling and bullous lesions of lips, the oral cavity, andnasal mucosa and eye pain. He could not open his mouth and had severe pain. Steven–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis was d...

OBJECTIVE Many symptoms are attributed to teething in infants. There is little evidence to support these beliefs, despite their implications for clinical management. We investigated relationships between tooth eruption, fever, and teething symptoms. METHODS Prospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-one children 6 to 24 months old attending 3 suburban long-day care centers >/=3 days/week...
