    Abstract World War I (WWI) and World War II (WWII) both presented physicians with challenges unseen before in history. New inventions such as the machine gun and poisonous gas in WWI and the massive aircraft battles in WWII required physicians and surgeons to adapt and innovate to provide the best care and preventative measures for service members. One physician, Malcolm Cummings Grow, distinguished himself as an innovator, a researcher, and a leader. His contributions to the field of military medicine, flight surgery, and medical administration led to countless lives being saved during the two World Wars and laid the groundwork for many different combat protective equipment still in use today.

    Abstract: ... of the translocation in 100 patients entered into the Medical Research Council (M.R.C.) ATRA trial. RT-PCR successfully ...

    Abstract Detection of the t(15;17) or its molecular consequence, the PML-RAR alpha rearrangement, is critical for meaningful analysis of clinical trials involving patients with suspected acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). Its presence remains the best predictor of a favourable response to retinoids, such as ATRA, which in combination with chemotherapy confer significant improvements in disease-free survival. We have evaluated the relative efficacy of RT-PCR, cytogenetics and PML immunofluorescence staining to identify the existence of the translocation in 100 patients entered into the Medical Research Council (M.R.C.) ATRA trial. RT-PCR successfully identified PML-RAR alpha rearrangements in 93/100 patients, including 65 where only peripheral blood or post-induction marrow samples were available for analysis and in 12 patients in whom cytogenetic assessment failed to demonstrate t(15;17) due to poor-quality metaphases (10/12) or as a reflection of cryptic PML-RAR alpha rearrangements (2/12). Parallel employment of the RAR alpha-PML assay confirmed expression of del(17q)-derived transcripts in 81% and permitted determination of the PML breakpoint (a potential independent prognostic variable) in all 93 cases. Sequencing of RT-PCR products derived from 50 patients with 3' PML breakpoints revealed five bcr 2 cases, including a novel exon 5 breakpoint. 35/81 (43%) patients with cytogenetic evidence of t(15;17) possessed additional karyotypic abnormalities. In four patients with available buffy coat smears, lack of cytogenetic or molecular evidence of the t(15;17) was confirmed by a wild-type PML immunofluorescence nuclear staining pattern, in contrast to the characteristic microparticulate distribution detected in 14 patients with RT-PCR evidence of the rearrangement. However, although PML immunofluorescence staining is suitable for rapid determination of patients likely to benefit from ATRA, this approach does not obviate the need for cytogenetic and RT-PCR analysis of all patients entered into APL clinical trials, because both techniques provide additional information which may prove to be of independent prognostic significance.

    Abstract Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) have multiple aetiological factors. Although some evidence suggests invasive and lengthy dental procedures may contribute towards TMD development, there is a relative paucity in the literature regarding an association between elements of paediatric dental general anaesthesia (pDGA) and TMDs. This review aims to consider the impact of dental rehabilitation (and its constituent elements) performed under general anaesthesia on the development of TMDs in childhood and adolescence and identify theories and/or gaps in knowledge which may benefit from future research.
    Methods: Due to the need to preliminarily examine the nature and extent of the current evidence base, a scoping review approach was chosen. The review was conducted based on the framework provided by the methodological working group of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for conducting systematic scoping reviews. Electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched as well as the grey literature using OpenGrey, Nexis, Ethos, Google Scholar and ProQuest, with eligible studies uploaded onto Zotero (Mac Version 5.0.96.2).
    Results: A total of 810 records were identified. After removing duplicates and those not available in English, 260 were identified for title and abstract screening. Seventy-six records underwent full-text review of which only one met the broad inclusion criteria. The most common reasons for exclusion were no specific relation to general anaesthesia, not specifically relating to dental treatment and only being concerned with TMD management. The included study found that while development of TMDs following dental rehabilitation under GA did occur in children, whether the problems caused by treatment were exacerbated by other elements of the pDGA process remains unknown.
    Conclusion: This review has confirmed a distinct paucity of research in this field. While there is no current tangible scientific evidence that common and routine dental procedures lead to TMD, the literature shows that alterations to any one or a combination of critical factors can contribute to TMD development, which may be collectively exacerbated by iatrogenic macrotrauma during the pDGA process. We have highlighted elements of pre-, peri- and post-operative pDGA, alongside biopsychosocial factors, which may contribute to TMD development in childhood and adolescence and may benefit from future research.
