“…Intractable hiccups is hiccups lasting more than 48 h. 21 Intractable hiccups may produce significant discomfort and may also represent the clinical manifestation of life-threatening clinical conditions such as lateral medullary lesions, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism. 22 Hiccups are caused by stimulation of the diaphragm, phrenic nerve, vagus nerve, or central nervous system, causing paroxysmal spasm of one or both the diaphragm and intercostal muscle or anterior scalene muscle. 23 Hiccups refers to a short, loud sound accompanied by a sudden closing of the glottis during inhalation.…”

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and thyroid storm (TS) are severe metabolic and endocrine disorders. Both usually manifest with multiple systemic clinical signs and symptoms, and digestive symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, are most common in these patients. Moreover, the presence of a concurrent severe or rare complication may worsen the condition or even cause death due to misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, or inappropriate treatment. The identification of these symptoms is usually closely related to the severity and prognosis of the disease. Although clinical prognosis might be improved by prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment, some rare and insidious metabolic complications are difficult to identify early. Moreover, life-threatening gastrointestinal symptoms are very rare in patients with DKA and TS. Here, we report an inpatient diagnosed with DKA and Graves’ disease who developed life-threatening intractable hiccups resulting in TS and respiratory failure during the treatment of DKA. In addition, we review the literature to discuss the possible underlying mechanism of intractable hiccups in the development of TS.

“…2,3,5,9 Pain control as in other dental disciplines can be achieved and controlled with different devices yet described or innovative. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Several studies state that the masticatory musculature of symptomatic patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) produces reduced electrical potentials and a less efficient clenching force. Hence, the muscles become more easily subjected to neuromuscular fatigue when compared to the force developed by healthy subjects.…”

Aim:The aim of this work was to evaluate if the use of a silicone device for muscular rebalancing (Alifix®) can be useful in treating of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) of muscular origin and improving the electromyographic indexes of the chewing muscles. Materials and methods: Thirteen patients (11 F and 2 M aged between 24 years and 65 years) with TMD of muscular origin according to diagnostic criteria (DC)/TMD were involved. At the first visit (T0), each patient reported the pain intensity of masseters and temporal muscles. A surface electromyography (EMG) was performed using Teethan® (Teethan S.p.A.) and then Alifix® was delivered instructing the patient on its use. Each subject was visited again after 1 month (T1) and 2 months (T2). New EMG had been made at T1 and T2, and patients were asked again to report the pain intensity. Statistical analysis was calculated between T0 and T1, T1 and T2, and T0 and T2 for all EMG, and muscle pain measurements by Wilcoxon test with statistical significance p < 0.05. Results: Regarding the pain values between T0 and T1, T1 and T2, and T0 and T2, the difference is statistically significant, since the intensity of pain between T0 and T2 is decreased, if not disappeared, in 90% of cases. The use of Alifix® also determined a gradual improvement in the values of the EMG indexes, which, however, is not statistically significant. Conclusion:The effectiveness of Alifix® is demonstrated clinically but not at an instrumental level. Further studies involving a larger sample and taking longer therapy duration are needed. Clinical significance: Alifix® works by improving the blood circulation of the muscle, which allows the removal of catabolites with a consequent reduction of the algic symptomatology and promotes a greater supply of oxygen. It also encourages a conversion of IIA type muscle fibers into slow-twitch type I fibers that are more resistant to neuromuscular fatigue.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the effect of 3D printing temporary crowns on the single and continuous loss restoration of posterior teeth during secondary implant surgery. Methods: This study adopted a single-center, randomized, single-blind, parallel-controlled trial design. Thirty patients who were admitted to the Department of Stomatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University between January 2020 and February 2023 and who had >2 consecutive missing posterior teeth were implanted with the same implant system. A simple random method was adopted to assign 30 patients to group A (using 3D-printed temporary crowns) and group B (control group) in a 1:1 ratio, with 15 patients in each group. The final prosthesis in Experimental group A was done based on the adjustment of the temporary crown and tooth. Both groups were compared based on total time, accuracy, and patient satisfaction of the final prosthesis. Additionally, 30 patients who had undergone single posterior tooth implantation during the same period were selected as the study objects and divided into 2 groups using the random comparison table method. The patients in the experimental group C (15 cases) were provided with 3D-printed temporary crowns, and the other 15 patients were assigned to the control group D (15 cases). Results: In the experimental group A, the total time spent on dentures was 10.1 ± 1.3 minutes, which was lesser compared with that spent in the control group B (P < .05). Experimental group A exhibited a significantly higher accuracy of prosthesis (P < .05), as well as significantly higher satisfaction of patients (P < .05). Regarding the food impaction rate, after formal implantation and restoration, the food impaction rate of the experimental group C at 1 month and 6 months was compared with that of the traditional 2-stage surgery group D. Conclusion: Three-dimensional printing temporary crowns exhibited significantly better therapeutic effects for restoration in patients with continuous missing implants in posterior teeth. 3D printing temporary crowns in patients with single posterior tooth implant restoration showed promising results, which improved food immobilization and actively and effectively reduced the complications associated with a single posterior tooth implant.
