What are the interventions to promote oral intake in preterm infants?"

Overview An estimated fifteen million infants are prematurely born every year. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in every ten children born in America is affected by preterm birth. The term preterm is used to refer to babies who are born before the normal thirty-seven weeks gestation period. Preterm births are classified based on the gestation age. Babies born less that twenty-seven weeks or the gestation period are categorized as extremely preterm. Very Preterm babies are those born between twenty seven weeks and thirty-two weeks while moderate to late preterms are born between thirty-two ...

Over a period of 400 million years, animals in the vertebrate category have evolved to a diverse array of life adaptations on earth. Vertebrates represent animals that are most familiar with people and are used for food, adopted as pets and deployed for labor. They include fish, reptiles, birds, amphibians and mammals. The classification system that groups vertebrates according to each of the classes that have been mentioned above utilizes genetics, anatomy, and the evolutionary relationships. Animals are classified starting with the kingdom which is a large body that encompasses animals that have similar characteristics and end up with ...

With four treatment options, the patient must undergo a thorough consultation with the clinician, covering each restoration type. Each treatment presentation will include the benefits and drawbacks the that particular method, risks and/or impediments associated with placement, complications that can arise after placement and daily maintenance protocols. The presentations must be clear and concise and devoid of scientific terminology that may not be recognized by the patient. To enhance understanding, it is recommended that the presentations utilize models, photographs and/or drawings representing the final product; images of previous cases can be used if they comply with all patient confidentiality ...

Trisomy

Chromosomes are marvelous things! They carry in their genes the entire genetic code required to build a human being. Comprised of nucleic acid (DNA) and proteins, twenty-three pairs of chromosomes located in the cell nucleus are needed for the normal development of a human embryo. However, sometimes things go wrong. This paper will discuss some of the consequences of faulty chromosome separation during fertilization, resulting in Trisomy. Trisomy is a chromosomal condition which occurs when three chromosomes, instead of the normal two are produced during cell division. This happens due to the failure of human chromosome pairs to separate ...

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT

Objective of dental implants After losing teeth, the supporting bone segment is no longer essential and begins to gradually disappear (Misch, 2008). Once this begins, the missing portions can be replaced with removable dentures or fixed bridges; this process enhances visual appeal, corrects speech impediments and improves mastication. However, complications can occur when replacing living tissues with artificial apparatuses. Dentures have been shown to decrease the efficiency of the chewing process, initiate additional bone loss and often experience inadequate retention (Knowles, 1958). Furthermore, dentures may require additional support, which affects the healthy teeth that are ...

In the current paper, we will discuss the complications in removable implant prosthesis, fabrication, delivery, and function. For the purpose of understanding these topics better, we need to understand the basic concepts of dental implants first. A dental implant can be described as an artificial replacement of a tooth root which is placed in the jaw for the purpose of holding a replaced tooth or a bridge. Dental implants can be used as an option for the patients who had lost a tooth as a result of a periodontal disease, injury or any other reason. Two different types of ...

Introduction

Dental implants are increasingly becoming popular because a large section of clinicians believe that natural tooth restoration techniques are inferior to dental implants as implants have a longer life than natural tooth and are less susceptible to biological changes. There are various types of dental implants that support crown, bridges, and dentures, and act as orthodontic anchors and facial prosthesis. The basis of the modern dental implant is a biological process in which titanium forms a bond with bone. Dental fixture is first implanted and then a prosthetic is added. Over the years, various implant impression techniques, such as ...

Teeth are considered to be among the hardest substances in the human body, its’ essential function is to aid the process of food digestion. Through chewing, teeth break down food materials in the mouth to smaller substances that can be swallowed for further digestion and absorption in the stomach. Besides being vital in digestion, teeth also play a significant role in providing structural support to the facial muscles that are responsible for different facial expressions such as smile and frown. Teeth are also an important component in speech, functioning together with the tongue and lips. The human tooth is ...

Acute coronary syndrome is an umbrella term for a group of clinical symptoms indicative of acute myocardial ischemia. These conditions include non-ST-segment elevation myocardial ischemia (NSTEMI), unstable angina, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). These conditions are high-risk manifestations of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery and significant causes of utilization of emergency services and hospitalization (Kumar and Cannon, 2009). STEMI causes 30% of all acute coronary syndromes in Australia (Harper and Lefkovits, 2010). This paper will describe the expected presentation, pathophysiology, ECG findings, pre-hospital management, and initial 24-hour management of STEMI in hospitals settings. These aspects will be described ...
