    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to produce an overview of the present visualization techniques of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in order to reduce the rates of nerve damage after third molar (M3) removal and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO).
    Methods: An electronic literature search was performed of the English-language scientific literature published prior to December 31, 2014 using the LIMO KU Leuven search platform. Information on the specifications of the different imaging techniques, their clinical application, advantages, disadvantages, and duration was extracted from 11 reports.
    Results: Five methods for IAN visualization were obtained from the search results, which are cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and automatic extraction of the IAN canal using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), panoramic radiography, endoscopy, and ultrasonographic visualization.
    Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that high-resolution MRI is the most commonly used method for direct visualization of the IAN. Six out of the eleven manuscripts use this technique. Recently, there have been some (experimental) modifications to the conventional MRI in the form of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), phase-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (PC-MRA), and dental MRI. Future studies will focus on an intraoperative application of MRI to visualize the IAN during surgery.

    Abstract The editors claim that this book attempts to further stimulate debate on the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. Therefore, they included contributions from different disciplines, but with the main emphasis still on historical writing. They strived to continue the tradition to regard all historical debate as temporary and within the expression by the Dutch historian, Pieter Geyl, that history is a debate without end. From that point of view, the publication is timely and has the potential to enhance our comprehension of one of the events that had a profound influence on the history of South Africa. Because of the divergent approaches of the different authors, the different contributions are briefly analysed before a value judgement on the publication as a whole is made.

    Author's details edited by William R. Jacobs, Jr., Helen McShane, Valerie Mizrahi, Ian M. Orme
    Abstract One third of the world's population is infected with tuberculosis (TB), with about 10 million new cases annually. To combat TB and its agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the World Health Organization launched The End TB Strategy, which aims to slash the suffering and cost of TB by 2035. This makes the second edition of Tuberculosis and the Tubercle Bacillus, edited by Jacobs, McShane, Mizrahi, and Orme, an extremely valuable resource for scientists and clinicians. The editors have gathered their colleagues from around the world to present the latest on the molecular biology of M. tuberculosis and related species, the host-pathogen interactions that enable invasion, and the host's immune response to M. tuberculosis infection. The basic, clinical, and translational research presented in this book supports the goals of WHO's End TB Strategy by driving toward the development of effective vaccines, rapid molecular diagnostics, and anti-TB drugs

    Abstract Foreign bodies ingestion or aspiration events in children can be a source of morbidity and mortality. In most cases, removal by a coordinated endoscopy can be performed when there is the availability of equipment and support staff for pediatric care. Close communication with the anesthesia, surgeon and operating room support staff is essential and rehearsing with a facsimile of the foreign body is useful. In certain cases, such as sharp foreign bodies or button batteries the endoscopy should be performed immediately.

    Abstract Objective: Severe subglottic stenosis develops as a response to intubation in 1% of the >200,000 neonatal intensive care unit infants per year and may require laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) with autologous hyaline cartilage. Although effective, LTR is limited by comorbidities, severity of stenosis, and graft integration. In children, there is a significant incidence of restenosis requiring revision surgery. Tissue engineering has been proposed to develop alterative grafting options to improve outcomes and eliminate donor-site morbidity. Our objective is to engineer a decellularized, channel-laden xenogeneic cartilage graft, that we deployed in a proof-of-concept, neonatal porcine LTR model.
    Methods: Meniscal porcine cartilage was freeze-thawed and washed with pepsin/elastase to decellularize and create microchannels. A 6 × 10-mm decellularized cartilage graft was then implanted in 4 infant pigs in an anterior cricoid split. Airway patency and host response were monitored endoscopically until sacrifice at 12 weeks, when the construct phenotype, cricoid expansion, mechanics, and histomorphometry were evaluated.
    Results: The selective digestion of meniscal components yielded decellularized cartilage with cell-size channels. After LTR with decellularized meniscus, neonatal pigs were monitored via periodic endoscopy observing re-epithelization, integration, and neocartilage formation. At 12 weeks, the graft appeared integrated and exhibited airway expansion of 4 mm in micro-CT and endoscopy. Micro-CT revealed a larger lumen compared with age-matched controls. Finally, histology showed significant neocartilage formation.
    Conclusion: Our neonatal porcine LTR model with a decellularized cartilage graft is a novel approach to tissue engineered pediatric LTR. This pilot study sets the stage for "off-the-shelf" graft procurement and future optimization of MEND for LTR.

    Abstract Introduction: Button batteries (BB) are a source of significant morbidity and mortality in young children. Little data is available regarding associations between esophageal impaction location and outcomes or need for surveillance imaging.
    Methods: All patients treated at a single institution following BB ingestion between 2018 and 2022 were included for retrospective chart review.
    Results: Twenty patients were treated at our institution BBs were located, or most significant damage observed, in the cervical esophagus (n = 10, 50 %), followed by thoracic esophagus (n = 6, 30 %), and abdominal esophagus (n = 4, 20 %). Patients with cervical esophageal impaction were younger (482 [370-866] days), than those with thoracic (1395 [871-2369] days) or abdominal esophageal impaction (2021.5 [1230.5-3419.5] days) (p = 0.003). Zargar Mucosal Injury Grade was significantly more severe in patients with cervical button battery impaction; 8/10 (80 %) had a ≥Grade IIIB injury, compared to 2/6 (33.3 %) thoracic impactions and 0/4 (0 %) abdominal impactions (p = 0.002). All patients who developed persistent esophageal stenosis (n = 6) had cervical battery impactions (6, 60 %, p = 0.015). Both TEFs (2/2) had anterior facing anode, while both (2/2) esophageal perforations had posterior. Only 1/20 (5 %) patients, and 1/7 (14.3 %) with serious complications, had a serious complication detected on routine, rather than clinically indicated follow-up surveillance.
    Conclusions: In our population, cervical BB impaction occurred more frequently in younger children, was associated with more severe mucosal injury, and had higher risk of stenosis. Nearly all complications were detected on clinically indicated rather than postoperative surveillance imaging.

    Abstract Spin-casting of molecularly doped polymer solution mixtures is one of the commonly used methods to obtain conductive organic semiconductor films. In spin-casted films, electronic interaction between the dopant and polymer is one of the crucial factors that dictates the doping efficiency.
