Selected AbstractsHELICOBACTER INFECTION IN CHILDREN WITH APPENDICITIS AND LACTOSE INTOLERANCEJOURNAL OF GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY, Issue 12 2000Eva J. Soelaeman Helicobacter pylori eradication has been debated. Most investigators do not recommended treating the infection except in severe case. We report a unique case: H. pylori infection with appendicitis and lactose intolerance. Case report: A 6 year old girl was brought to children and maternity Hospital Harapan Kita due to abdominal pain and vomiting. She had 6- month history of epigastric pain. In the past 2 days, she suffered from abdominal pain arround Mc. Burney area. On physical examination, she was in pain. Her weight was 19 Kg. Vital signs were normal. Findings in heart, lung and extremities were also normal. Abdomen: severe pain in the epigastric and Mc. burney area.Laboratory investigations showed hemoglobin 12 g/dl, leukocyte 12800/ul. Platelets 289000/ul. Bleeding and clotting time were normal. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed inflammation of appendix with 9-mm diameter. Stool examination was normal.Appendectomy was done at the same time with esofagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). On EGD, we found moderete anthral gastritis. On histopathological examination, we found H. pylori at antral of the stomach. Breath hydrogen test was positive. After H. pylori eradication and milk avoidance, abdominal pain has never occurred. Conclusion: Abdominal: pain is not specific for H. pylori infection. The pain caused by many diseases including H. pylori infection. In our case, we can control abdominal pain by H. pylori eradication.

It is important because it is readily treated by endoscopic means if diagnosed early. Potential aetiologies for this unusual condition are explored. [source] Alignment of transposed mandibular lateral incisor and canine using removable appliancesAUSTRALIAN DENTAL JOURNAL, Issue 3 2009E Canoglu Abstract The purpose of this paper was to present the management of a rarely encountered transposition anomaly involving the mandibular permanent lateral incisor and the canine. In the literature, the treatment of this type of anomaly involves fixed orthodontic appliances. The treatment of the present case, however, was performed with removable appliances. Transposition of the permanent mandibular right lateral incisor and the permanent mandibular right canine was detected in a 12 year old girl. The primary mandibular right canine was extracted to enable the distal movement of the permanent lateral incisor by the eruption force of the permanent canine. The transposed teeth were then aligned in the arch by using removable appliances. The forms of the teeth were changed with each other with composite restorations.

Purpose: To report on the long-term follow-up of a female patient with bilateral Coats' disease, who showed marked asymmetry between the two eyes. Methods: A five year old girl presented in 1978 with leukocoria in a blind right eye. A total exudative retinal detachment and extensive retinal telangiectasiae were noted. In the other eye, there was a localized area of retinal exudation and vascular abnormality in the supero-temporal periphery. Ultrasonography showed no evidence of intraocular tumour in the right eye and a clinical diagnosis of bilateral Coats' disease was made. Results: In 1995, the area or retinal exudation in the left eye increased and laser photocoagulation was applied successfully. To date, no disease recurrences have occurred. Conclusion: Although Coats' disease is usually unilateral, bilateral, asymmetrical involvement may occur on rare occasions. Long-term follow-up of the least affected eye is necessary so that late complications can be identified early and treated adequately to prevent visual loss. [source] Teacher training and HIV/AIDS prevention in West Africa: regression discontinuity design evidence from the CameroonHEALTH ECONOMICS, Issue S1 2010Jean-Louis Arcand Abstract We assess the impact on teenage childbearing as well as student knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of a typical HIV/AIDS teacher training program in the Cameroon. Applying a regression discontinuity design identification strategy based on the key administrative criterion that determined program deployment, we find that 15,17 year old girls in teacher training schools are between 7 and 10 percentage points less likely to have started childbearing, an objective proxy for the incidence of unprotected sex. They are also significantly more likely to have used a condom during their last sexual intercourse. For 12,13 year old girls, the likelihood of self-reported abstinence and condom use is also significantly higher in treated schools, while the likelihood of having multiple partners is significantly lower.
