Abstract: Background: During the lifetime, each person experiences loss of one or more teeth, which is followed by a series of problems, such as difficulty in chewing, speaking and perhaps the biggest problem is disturbed aesthetics and altered appearance. Conventional and immediate complete dentures including implant-supported total dentures, implant-supported fixed prostheses are used to rehabilitate completely toothless patients who are often burdened with feelings of disability, early aging, limited chewing function and reduced mouth space. The main factors....

Abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections globally, affecting individuals of all age groups and posing a significant public health challenge. While Escherichia coli is the leading causative agent, accounting for approximately 80% of infections, other pathogens such as Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Proteus species also contribute to the disease burden. Clinical manifestations include dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, and systemic symptoms like fever and flank pain in severe cases. Risk factors include........

Abstract: Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) is an inflammatory disease of the lower airways characterized by a complex immune response directed against a fungus of the Aspergillus genus. It occurs in chronic airway diseases such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. It is a rare, severe, and underdiagnosed condition. This article presents the case of a 56-year-old patient, poorly managed asthmatic for 30 years, with partial control of symptoms. His medical history dates back 2 months, with a progressive onset of increasingly frequent and successive asthma attacks, requiring frequent visits to the emergency department for nebulization. The radiological assessment......

Abstract: Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a complex genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, delayed growth, and limb abnormalities. In 1916, Dr. W. Brachmann described the first case of this syndrome but in 1933 Cornelia de Lange, a Dutch pediatrician from Amsterdam was the first to report about two cases of this syndrome. It is also called Brachmann de Lange syndrome, Amsterdam dwarfism, Bushy syndrome. Craniofacial features commonly associated with CdLS include synophrys (joined eyebrows), arched eyebrows, long eyelashes,......
