“…Clinical diagnosis of dental agenesis always requires X-ray confirmation. It is recommended to perform a pantomographic X-ray, which allows exclusion of possible impaction of the teeth, and is decisive for the final diagnosis [30]. Children diagnosed with missing tooth buds should undergo comprehensive treatment which will include dentists of such specialties as: maxillofacial surgeon, dental surgeon, orthodontist or prosthodontist.…”

Introduction and Objective. Tooth agenesis may be present even in 9.6% of individuals of both genders, with the predominance in permanent dentition. The aim of the study was to present a review of the literature on the etiology of dental agenesis, with particular emphasis on the genetic background and the associated syndromes of congenital abnormalities. Objective and Review Methods. Online databases were searched: Pubmed, GoogleScholar and Scopus. 32 articles from the last 18 years were qualified for the study and used in this review. Inclusion criteria were: children, congenital disorders, syndromic diseases, missing teeth, tooth agenesis. The study takes into account both syndromes common in the population and rare disorders. Brief description of the state of knowledge. Many genes are responsible for both isolated and syndromic tooth agenesis. The most studied and involved in the formation of this anomaly are: MSX1, PAX9, AXIN2, WNT10A, EDA, TGF, SHH. The presented study shows that various forms of agenesis are caused by genes that involve interacting molecular pathways. The course of this phenomenon is very diverse, especially in syndromes of defects accompanied by other craniofacial anomalies. Summary. The absence of one or several teeth seriously disrupts the proper development of a child, as tooth agenesis affects the craniofacial development and psychosomatic development of a patient at developmental age. Children diagnosed with missing tooth buds should receive comprehensive treatment, which includes dentists with such specialties as: maxillofacial surgeon, dental surgeon, orthodontist or prosthodontist.

Background and objectives: Nosocomial infections/Hospitalacquired infections (HAI) constitute an important problem worldwide accounting for high morbidity and mortality as well as longer hospital cost and stay. An intensive care unit (ICU) is often the epicenter of infection, due to its extremely vulnerable population. Consequently, ICUs have highest occurrence rates of nosocomial infections causing an enormous impact on health and often survival. This study was therefore aimed to know the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profile of various organisms causing HAI in ICUs of a Tertiary Care Hospital and Medical College. Materials and methods:A total of 847 consecutive samples mostly respiratory secretions, blood, and urine were collected from patients admitted in 6 ICUs of a tertiary care hospital and medical college from January 2017 to December 2017 and processed as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines in the Microbiology department. Final identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates were done by the automated Vitek 2 system.Results: Among the 847 samples processed 513 (60.5%) were positive for growth. Gram-negative organisms 366/513 (71.34%) were more commonly isolated than 147/513 (28.65%) Gram-positive organisms. Multidrug-resistant (MDR), Klebsiellapneumoniae, Acinetobacterbaumannii complex and Pseudomonasaeruginosa along with Extended-spectrum betalactamases (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli among Gramnegative organisms and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) among Gram-positive were the most conspicuous findings. Conclusion:Our results showed higher resistance among all microorganisms in the ICUs compared to the rest of the hospital, the fact that highlights that ICUs should act as a critical point in the control of nosocomial infections.

Introduction: Early and accurate identification of bacterial infection is crucial for the improved clinical outcome of a patient with sepsis, a diagnostic challenge in the intensive care unit (ICU). Virtually, all patients in the ICU have some inflammatory response associated with the fever which does not at all require antibiotics, thus differentiating between sepsis and non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is imperative. A study was therefore done to evaluate triple biomarker algorithm for identification of bacterial sepsis in critical care patients. Materials and methods: One hundred and ninety-seven immunocompetent adult patients with presumed bacterial sepsis admitted in various ICUs of Sri Guru Ram Das University of Medical Sciences and Research were consecutively enrolled from November 2016 to October 2017. Blood samples obtained from these were subjected to culture and sensitivity as per clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI) guidelines in Department of Microbiology after approval by the ethical committee. Serial concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) of 39 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were determined at baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours in the Department of Biochemistry. The performance characteristic of various biomarkers individually and in combination was studied.Results: Of the total 2831 adult indoor febrile patients, ICU admissions were 197/2831(6.9%) of which only 58/197(29.44%) were culture positive, yielding bacteria and Candida species in 52/58 (89.65%) and 6/58 (10.34%) respectively. There were significant (p < 0.05) difference in the levels of PCT and IL-6 among the bacteremic group. Conclusion:Procalcitonin (PCT) and IL-6 are superior to CRP in the early identification of bacterial infection. However, more perspective and large-scale studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
