“…The choice of the dosage regimen seems to greatly depend on the habits of the clinician rather than on national or international guidelines. This aspect can be clearly understood from the great variability of prescription regimes for prophylaxis for oral surgery procedures reported in literature: the majority of studies opt for 2 g of amoxicillin before surgery [24][25][26] but also for other regimens as 2 g after surgery [27][28][29], 1 g twice a day for 7 days after surgery with or without 2 g before surgery [30][31][32] and for other combinations [33][34][35][36].…”

The Effect of Different Antibiotic Regimens on Bacterial Resistance: A Systematic Review

et al. 2020

Background and objectives: Infections caused by resistant bacteria are a growing public health problem that is linked to many different causes, among them the antibiotics’ incorrect use plays an important role. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the most dangerous behaviors are the early interruption of antibiotic therapy and the use of molecules without appropriate prescription. The authors conducted a systematic review to assess if antibiotic prescription with different regimens is connected to the onset of bacterial resistance. Methods: The authors performed an electronic and manual literature search on four databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials) from their inception to 15 June 2019. The date of the last search was 27 November 2019. Any article comparing cultural or genic analysis of resistance in patients that took antibiotics with at least two different regimens was included. No language restrictions were applied. Risk of bias for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed using the Cochrane collaboration’s tool whereas case-control and cohort studies were evaluated through the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. Results: The initial search resulted in a total of 1744 titles. After careful evaluation of all results, only three studies satisfied the outcome of the present review. From the qualitative analysis of data, it emerges that even if antibiotics are administered for a shorter period than the conventional one the species that inhabit the oral cavity can adapt quickly and express genes of antibiotic resistance. Additional evidence from this analysis is that not only does the proportion of resistant bacteria increase in the oral cavity, but also in more distant districts such as the intestine. Conclusions: Despite the great number of studies retrieved by electronic databases only few studies investigated the target of this review. The reason for this evidence is that it is not ethical to investigate and compare different antibiotic regimens, shorter or longer than the appropriate one. This evidence is applicable both to prophylactic administrations and to those aimed at treating infections. Besides this, the WHO affirms that, in the absence of infective complications, the prescription of antibiotic after every type of surgical intervention cannot be admitted and that studies dealing with antibiotic regimens that do not comply with drug’s pharmacodynamics characteristics cannot be ethically admitted.

“…

We appreciate the Letter to the Editor from Dr. Meira e Cruz and colleague in response to our article entitled "Functional and molecular outcomes of the human masticatory muscles" (Isola et al, 2018).We also thank them for their commitment to advancing the results of our review which was focused on current knowledge and evidence regarding the importance of fiber-type diversity and on the new information regarding the adaptive response of muscle fibers on the functional significance of the masticatory muscles which could influence craniofacial characteristics.The raised comments by Meira e Cruz and colleague regarding the link between the presence of some cardiac fibers on Masseter muscle and the evidence of autonomic symptoms occurring in Bruxism patients allow us to specify the following points, in the hope of answering the questions and comments posed by the authors.

Background: many papers investigate the role of the cranial base in facial development, but the results are not in agreement. This can be due to a difference between the central and lateral parts of the cranial base. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between the central and the lateral cranial base and the facial skeleton in pre-pubertal peak subjects and at the end of growth. Material/Methods: a total sample of 52 latero-lateral cranial teleradiographs were analyzed. To test the correlation between structures, the “Partial Least Square” analysis was performed. Geometric morphometric analysis were applied and partial least square analysis was used to test correlation. Integration was studied removing the effect of allometry. Results: facial skeleton has no significant relation with central cranial base. Facial skeleton has significant relationships with the lateral portion of the cranial base. This relationship is higher in the post-peak phase of growth. Conclusion: the Integration between facial structures and cranial base is significant. The Spatial orientation and shape of the facial structures are both influenced by cranial base. This is mainly due to the lateral portion of cranial base.
