“…In 2017, the government of Honululu, Hawaii, released a new law making it illegal for pedestrians to “cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device.” 27 In two cities in the Netherlands, ground-level traffic lights have been installed to catch the eyes of street-crossing smombies 28 . In Sweden, traffic signs warn about people using their smartphones while walking 29 . Given our observations, these are nonexaggerated consequences to prevent smartphone-associated injuries and must be considered worldwide.…”

Objectives: Smartphones have become an integral part of daily life, often grabbing full attention of its user. We hypothesized that smartphoneassociated trauma in children and adolescents has increased in the last decade. The objective of this study was to analyze smartphone-related injuries in children at two German centers for pediatric emergency care.Methods: Smartphone-related injuries were recorded between January 2008 and March 2018 at two centers of pediatric surgery in Germany. Data were assessed for patient demography, cause of accident, type of injury, treatment, and outcome.Results: Ten children (8 girls, 2 boys; mean ± SD age, 10.6 ± 6.0 years; range, 10 weeks to 17 years) were included. Two patients were injured in 2008 to 2015, eight in 2016 to 2018, of which three required hospital admissions. Six accidents happened in public spaces, and four within domestic environments. Eight children (mean ± SD age, 13.3 ± 2.4 years; 7 girls) were injured while using their smartphone, therefore being distracted. Two children (mean ± SD age, 6.5 ± 6.4 months) were involuntarily hurt by the smartphone of their caregivers. The causes of accident and related injuries were highly variable and ranged from minor trauma (mild head injury [n = 3], abrasions [n = 2], bruises of fingers [n = 2]/hand [n = 1]/ankle [n = 2]) to major injuries requiring intensive care treatment (pelvic [n = 1] or vertebral body fractures [n = 1]).Conclusions: Smartphone-associated injuries mainly caused by distraction gain increasing importance in pediatric traumatology. The frequency is higher in females compared with their male counterparts. The prevention of these accidents should become part of educational programs for children and adolescents.

“…The reported incidence in literature is 9.63 cases per million persons, while clinically amyopathic DM (ADM) is estimated to be 2.08 cases per million. DM exhibits a bimodal age distribution of children under 18 years (juvenile DM, JDM) and adults in their late 40s to early 60s [7]. There is a female predominance over males with a ratio of 1.5-2.0:1; however, in older patients with malignancy, there is an equal sex ratio.…”

“…Diagnosis is generally made at an average age of 40 years, while malignancy is commonly observed at an average age of 55 years. DM associated with a connective tissue disease is predominantly observed among younger women with a higher prevalence in African-Americans [7].…”

“…This makes the role of the oral healthcare provider crucial in providing initial evidence of a greater underlying disease. A group of DM patients present with salivary hypofunction or xerostomia, manifest by a higher dental caries index, oral mucosal dryness and greater dental plaque accumulation [7]. Those with xerostomia may be assisted with salivary substitutes in the form of gels, mouthwashes, lozenges, oils, sprays, toothpastes and chewing gums to protect and hydrate the oral mucosa and reduce plaque accumulation and dental caries [41].…”

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune condition characterized by skin rashes and progressive muscle weakness. It is classified under the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and can affect children as well as adults. A heightened incidence of malignancy in adults with DM has laid greater focus on its early diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. In recent years, a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, its diagnostic criteria and management has improved the quality of life in affected individuals. The orofacial region presents with many manifestations of the disorder, sometimes even the initial presenting signs. This review presents an update on the disease process, its pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, orofacial manifestations, medical management and dental considerations for patients with DM. The updated knowledge about DM is crucial for oral health care providers to plan and execute oral health care in a coordinated manner.
