Clinical and antimicrobial effects of a single episode of subgingival irrigation with tetracycline HCI or chlorhexidine in deep periodontal pockets

Abstract. 15 adults, each providing 4 non-adjacent untreated periodontal pockets with a probing depth (PD) exceeding 6 mm. volunteered for a randomized, split-mouth, double-blind, clinical study evaluating subgingival irrigation with chlorhexidine (CHX) or tetracycline HCl (TTC). The study protocol included oral hygiene instructions followed by scaling and root planing. Experimental and immediately adjacent teeth did not receive instrumentation. The 4 deep periodontal pockets in each patient were assigned to be irrigated with 150 ml CHX (0.12%). TTC (10 or 50 mg/ml; TTC10, TTC50), or sterile saline (control) in a single episode. Post-irrigation mechanical plaque control was supported by 2× daily CHX rinses throughout the 12-week observation interval. Recordings of oral hygiene (PlI), gingival health (GI). bleeding on probing (BoP). probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and microbial morphotypes from subgingival paper point samples were performed pre-irrigation. and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks post-irrigation. Mean post-irrigation PlI was low, fluctuating between 0.0 and 0.4, without significant differences between experimental groups. Mean pre-irrigation GI approximated 1.4 and reached 0.8 at the exit of study without significant differences between experimental groups. All experimental sites exhibited BoP pre-irrigation. BoP was significantly reduced in TTC50 compared to TTC10, CHX and control sites from week 8 post-irrigation. PDs were reduced for the experimental groups with TTC50 exhibiting the strongest reduction. CALs remained unaltered from pre-irrigation for TTC10. CHX and control sites over the 12-week observation interval, whereas TTC50 sites consistently improved to significantly differ from all other groups at week 10 and 12 post-irrigation. The distribution of bacterial morphotypes was significantly altered towards one of periodontal health for all experimental groups with a profound effect for TTC50 sites. Our results suggest that subgingival irrigation with TTC solutions at high concentrations may have a rôle in the management of adult periodontitis.

The death drive exemplified in a case of alcohol dependence

• ? When Freud first advanced the death drive it was considered a highly controversial theoretical idea. However, with the passage of time it has been slowly gaining support in certain psychoanalytical quarters.
• ? This paper aims to demonstrate the clinical usefulness of this theory in accordance with the Freudian and Kleinian model.
• ? Although the case history to be discussed is a severe case of alcohol dependence which had, previously, been unresponsive to treatment, many other maladies, both mental and physical, can be better understood in the context of the death drive being the principal motivating factor.

     

Existing in-between two worlds: supporting asylum seeking women living in temporary accommodation through a creative movement and art intervention

ABSTRACT

In this reflective article we introduce Moving Space, a creative movement and art project supporting female Asylum Seekers as they move through the transient space of temporary accommodation. We explore how this cross-modal approach supports women to anchor experiences of displacement, loss and trauma through the use of embodied and visual creative process. Moreover, we argue that the transient nature of the therapeutic space brings into focus women’s resourcefulness and resilience despite the adversity and uncertainty they are experiencing.     

The relationship between fertility potential measurements on cryobanked semen and fecundity of sperm donors

Sperm penetration assay (SPA) scores obtained from cryobanked semen were correlated with therapeutic insemination (TI) fecundity in a group of established sperm donors, thereby evaluating the efficacy of the SPA in screening donors for sperm banking. While the SPA has been used to separate fertile from infertile males, we altered assay conditions to use frozen semen and to distinguish performance among fertile donors. Three frozen ejaculates from 11 pregnancy-proven donors were analysed. Of 905 TI cycles, 275 recipients achieved 95 pregnancies. There were no significant relationships between fecundity and donor semen, washed sperm parameters, sperm recoveries or recipient age. A significant relationship was revealed between mean SPA scores (range 8.7-66.6 penetrations/ovum) and donor fecundity (range 0.04-0.16, P < 0.03). Sperm concentration was varied in an effort to establish the most sensitive test condition. Using 0.25x10(6) motile spermatozoa/ml, a highly significant relationship was observed (P < 0.002). The four donors with the lowest SPA scores achieved the four lowest fecundities. It is concluded that a modified SPA can be used on frozen donor semen to estimate donor fertility potential. If applied routinely in donor semen banking, poor quality applicants could be excluded, thereby increasing pregnancy rates while decreasing donor screening costs.     

Variant and invariant characteristics of speech movements

Summary Upper lip, lower lip, and jaw kinematics during select speech behaviors were studied in an attempt to identify potential invariant characteristics associated with this highly skilled motor behavior. Data indicated that speech motor actions are executed and planned presumably in terms of relatively invariant combined multimovement gestures. In contrast, the individual upper lip, lower lip, and jaw movements and their moment-to-moment coordination were executed in a variable manner, demonstrating substantial motor equivalence. Based on the trial-to-trial variability in the movement amplitudes, absolute positions, and velocities of the upper lip, lower lip, and jaw, it appears that speech motor planning is not formulated in terms of spatial coordinates. Seemingly, object-level planning for speech may be encoded in relation to the acoustic consequences of the movements and ultimately with regard to listener's auditory perceptions. In addition, certain temporal parameters among the three movements (relative times of movement onsets and velocity peaks) were related stereotypically, reflecting invariances characteristic of more automatic motor behaviors such as chewing and locomotion. These data thus appear to provide some additional insights into the hierarchy of multimovement control. At the top of the motor control hierarchy, the overall plan appears to be generated with explicit specification of certain temporal parameters. Subsequently, based upon the plan and within that stereotypic temporal framework, covariable adjustments among the individual movements are implemented. Given the results of previous perturbation studies, it is hypothesized that these covariable velocity and amplitude adjustments reflect the action of sensorimptor mechanisms.
