The Ideal

Connecting teeth to osseointegrated implants presents a biomechanical challenge. This is due to the implant being rigidly fixed to the bone and the tooth being attached to the bone with a periodontal ligament. In order to overcome this problem, various connection types such as rigid and nonrigid have been proposed. However, the mechanism of attachment and the perceived problem of the differential support provided by the implant and the tooth have been discussed by many authors, and the ideal connection type is still controversial. The aim of this study was to carry out a review of all available literature addressing the tooth-implant connection and evidence-based understanding of the management of tooth-implant-retained restorations.

The Ideal

Injuries to the medial side of the knee (MSK) are the most common knee ligament lesions. Historically, these injuries have been treated conservatively; however, a better understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the different structures of the MSK have resulted in diverse and controversial opinions about the ideal management of these lesions. A cautious analysis should be done in nomenclature because the same surgical technique principles have been differently named in the literature. The diagnostic process of MSK injuries must involve a critical thinking process to precise those lesions that imply an imminent risk of healing failure. This review article provides an evidence and clinical-based clarification of the controversies regarding injuries to the MSK and proposes an evidence-based algorithm for their management.

The Ideal

The implant-supported rehabilitation of atrophic mandibles (AM) with severe bone resorption is challenging for both surgical and prosthetic procedures due to the high risk of mandible fracture during implant surgery and postoperatively due to the masticatory load. The aim of case presentations was to demonstrate treatment alternatives for patients with AM who required oral rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants (OIs) according to the residual mandibular bone volume. When bone is 9 mm in height, the ideal treatment is the use of narrow, short OIs. When the bone height is 5 to < 9 mm, mandibular reinforcement with reconstruction plates using the intraoral approach and simultaneous placement of osseointegrated implants are proposed. In cases where bone height is < 5 mm, the choice of treatment is mandibular reconstructive surgery with an autogenous bone graft and biomaterials. The fundamental principles of this protocol are to reduce the morbidity and complications associated with the surgical procedure, which would reduce both the time and cost of full dental rehabilitation. The choice of the technique for mandibular reconstruction should be indicated according to the magnitude of the atrophy.

The Ideal

Body dissatisfaction and dietary restraint have been demonstrated in children as young as 5 years. Internalization of a thin-ideal is theorized to occur before the onset of body dissatisfaction and both have the potential to influence self-worth and impact multiple aspects of life. Across childhood, body dissatisfaction tends to increase while there is a parallel decline in positive self-concepts. Social comparisons also become more critical after the age of 7 years. Research suggests that early childhood (aged 3–8 years) may be the ideal time to expose children to content that counters unhealthy, unrealistic media ideals about body shape and size. This Practice Note describes the process of creating an evidence-based online storybook, Tiny or Tall, Mighty or Small—Music for All!, written to promote positive body image in children. Multiple steps were taken to complete this project, which required collaboration among experts across fields of public health, children’s literature, and music. The storybook can be downloaded as a PDF file for free, online, and integrates sound clips for each instrument to more fully engage readers. We hope that this electronic platform overcomes potential logistical and financial barriers of accessing a print copy and therefore allows the message of body positivity to reach a wider audience.

Based on the investigation of end plate and angle of semi-rigid connection in the steel frame of beam-column, an analysis of two connection type damage phenomenons, stiffness, bearing capacity and ductility, and then with the experimental results concluded above, the similarity and differences between the two semi-rigid connections can be extensively discussed. And with that， it can naturally be concluded that the end-plate connection is a good load capacity and ductility properties of semi-rigid connection type. These for, the conclusion can provide test basis for the ideal steel structure semi-rig seismic node design and application.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common amongst children and invariably result in imaging tests to look for correctable causes that may predispose the child to infection. The objective of imaging is to identify those children at risk of long-term renal damage. The ideal imaging algorithm is extensively debated in the literature owing to the lack of evidence-based data, evolving theories on the pathophysiology of UTI and vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). The present article provides a case-based approach to the imaging of UTIs and proposes guidelines relevant to the South African setting.

Context: Warts are benign cutaneous and mucosal growths caused by human papillomavirus. Warts are the most common skin diseases seen by pediatric dermatologists. Warts are often self-limited, especially in children, but some lesions are not resolved despite repeated treatments and referred to as recalcitrant warts.  Evidence acquisition: Electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus were searched during 2000-2018 and a review was conducted for articles published in English on pediatric warts by focusing on recalcitrant warts. Results: If warts are asymptomatic and being in a location that causes no cosmetic or other problems, observation is the ideal management course. Most parents and children prefer treatment for their warts. There are three modalities of treatment: medical, surgical, and immunotherapy. Conclusions: Treatment of warts is a therapeutic challenge that depends on the patient’s age and the type of warts. Despite treatment according to evidence-based guidelines, a significant proportion of warts are failed to respond. This condition is an unsolved problem in practice. The management for treating these lesions has remained unclear and a wide range of the second line of treatments has been developed.

Introduction: Evidence based medicine is not the ideal way to assess and evaluate treatment success, failure and outcomes. Modern technology makes it possible to register a multitude of information. Advances in the venous field are fast and require a more efficient way to allow selection based on outcomes and quality. Registries are theoretically contain the data needed to investigate venous treatments and instruments. Materials and methods: A literature review was performed and twenty-five articles were selected for review. Results: Current registries fail to perform as needed and do not deliver the needed information. Separate frameworks and applications are available, but up until now no centralized and combined effort has been made to create a true all encompassing European venous registry. Conclusions: A European venous registry containing standardized variables regarding all aspects of venous disease is needed to truly investigate and improve our care. An intuitive and integrated EHR application can facilitate the gathering of data needed to create such a registry. A number of rules apply though.
