The authors report a case of intracranial EHE in a 15-year-old girl, who presented with a short history and unusual radiology. Following radical removal, the lesion recurred within 1 month and progressed to terminal stages. This tumor is thought to have an indolent intermediate malignancy potential and such rapid progression has not been reported so far.

Background: Various biomaterials have been used for manufacturing dental implants with titanium being widely used. However, titanium has exhibited a few drawbacks such as metal ion release, corrosion of metals and poor compatibility with modern imaging techniques. To overcome these, alternative substitutes to titanium such as hydroxyapatite, zirconia, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) have been recently introduced.Material and methods: Fifty edentulous sites were rehabilitated with PEEK implants out of which twenty-five were immediately loaded (day one post-op) while, the remaining 25 were loaded 30 days post-op after placement (early loading). Implants were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 1 week, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after placement for success parameters like marginal bone loss, mobility, pain, infection, bleeding and implant survival rate.Results: At the end of one-year observation period after implant placement, nine out of 25 immediately loaded PEEK implants failed scoring a failure rate of 36%. Six out of the other 25 early loaded implants failed, scoring a failure rate of 24%. After 12 months thirteen out of 25 immediately loaded implants and six out of other 25 early loading implants showed score 1 of bleeding on probing respectively. Conclusions:Within the limitations of the present study, the immediately loaded PEEK implants exhibited higher failure rate compared to implants loaded with early loading protocol.

Sterile Surgical Gloves are worn to prevent contamination of the patient during invasive procedures and they help prevent surgical site infections and reduce the risk of exposure to blood and body fluid pathogens for the healthcare worker. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and performance of Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves- Powdered and Powder Free, Sterile Latex Gynaecological Gloves- Powdered and Powder Free. Overall, 976 subjects participated in the study, out of which sterile latex surgical gloves were used by the users in 288 cases. Sterile latex surgical gloves powder free was used by users in 291 cases. Sterile Latex Gynaecological Gloves Powdered were used by users in 201 cases and Sterile Latex Gynaecological Gloves Powder Free was used in196 cases. From the clinical safety parameter analysis, sterile latex surgical gloves were safe to use and none of the users reported safety-related issues. The overall rating given by the user for product performance was excellent for all the products. All the users agreed that the product is meeting the product quality. The overall rating given by the user for product satisfaction is Excellent. None of the users have reported any undesirable events. Keywords: gloves, latex, allergy, healthcare workers
