Yew plants (Taxus species) represent a genus of plants known to be highly toxic, though lethal intoxication is rare. The majority of deaths in yew berry poisonings occur due to its cardiotoxic effect, mediated through generation of a number of fatal tachy- and brady-arrhythmias. However, there are no guidelines on the most effective management in these cases, and interventions vary greatly between published reports. Here we report a case of a 20-year-old female who presented with refractory lethal arrythmia and shock refractory to conventional therapy. She presented to the emergency department and promptly required airway management and hemodynamic support necessitating intensive care unit management. She received many antiarrhythmics, digoxin immune Fab, lipid emulsification, and eventually transvenous pacemaker insertion for overdrive pacing. Despite our interventions, our patient ultimately died after a decision to withdraw care. We also reviewed 43 reports of yew poisoning cases described in the literature. We discuss the most common strategies used to treat such patients including gastric decontamination, antiarrhythmics, electrical pacing, extracorporeal life support and other therapies. We need better understanding of this condition, to identify which therapies offer maximal benefit and to optimize outcomes for this rare but often devastating toxidrome.
Normative data are important in the clinical setting of Speech and Language Pathology. The purpose of this study was to develop a normative reference dataset of voice range profiles from young females.

Descriptive study including a prospective collection of voice range profile data.

Voice range profile recordings from 39 females with healthy voices aged 18 to 28 years were conducted. Seven voice range profile variables were analyzed minimum and maximum fundamental frequency and intensity, semitone and intensity ranges, and voice range profile area. Descriptive statistical methods were applied.

An age-specific voice range profile normative dataset was established. The mean values and standard deviations were as follows semitone range 34.7 ± 3.9 ST, minimum fundamental frequency 143.6 ± 21.7 hertz, maximum fundamental frequency 1063.5 ± 160 hertz, intensity range 65.6 ± 5.0 dB, minimum intensity 43.2 ± 2.5 dB SPL, maximum SPL 108.9 ± 5.1 dB SPL, and voice range profile area 1346 ± 222 cells.

A normative dataset usable for optimization of future voice assessments has been established. It may especially benefit evaluation and treatment planning for younger females suffering from vocal fold nodules.

The present study firstly tries to find subgroups of pathological male and female phonation using data from a number of 534 pathological speakers. Secondly, this subgroup classification provides a basis for achieving voice profiles of pathological phonatory quality.

Using complementarily orientated electroglottographic and acoustic parametrization of phonatory quality, sustained vowel productions of 267 male and 267 female speakers were considered.

In a first step, a clustering technique differentiates three subgroups within each gender on the basis of the EGG- and three subgroups on the basis of the acoustic parameters. In a second step, this subgroup definition allows one to present voice profiles of pathological speakers by combining the parameter means of the electroglottographically determined subgroups with those of the acoustically determined subgroups.

The presented voice profiles provide a finer reference basis for the classification of different pathological phonation types as well as for the evaluation of shifts in individual phonatory behavior due to therapy or spontaneous recovery.

Dental pulp fibroblasts can protect dental pulp from microbial invasion. However, little is known about the interaction between pulp fibroblasts and the immune cells. In this study, the production of proinflammatory cytokines related to inflammatory cell recruitment was evaluated in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated human dental pulp fibroblasts (HDPFs). The role of TNF-α-stimulated HDPFs in the cell fusion under inflammatory process was determined with the cell co-culture with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

HDPFs were stimulated with various concentrations of TNF-α, and the secretion of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 was analyzed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mRNA expression levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. TNF-α-treated HDPFs were co-cultured with PBMCs for 21 days, and characteristics of cell differentiation were assessed.

TNF-α induced IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 production in HDPFs. Moreover, mRNA expression levels of ICAM-1, M-CSF and OPG were significantly increased in TNF-α-treated HDPFs. Co-culture of TNF-α-treated HDPFs and PBMCs stimulated formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells, and the F-actin rings were observed in these multinucleated cells.

Our results indicate that under the stimulation of TNF-α, HDPFs may amplify inflammatory response by cytokines production, which in turn can modulate the differentiation of immune cells.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of different treatments for pelvic Osteoblastoma (OB).

We retrospectively evaluated 34 patients affected by primary pelvic OB from 3 oncologic referral centers. Vacuolin1 Patients with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were included. Local recurrence (LR) rate and complications were recorded.

The primary treatment was radio-frequency ablation (RFA) in 4 patients (11.8%), curettage (ILC) in 21 (61.7%) and resection (EBR) in 9 (26.5%). Mean follow-up was 8.9 years (SD±6.6). Local recurrence free survival (LRFS) rate after primary surgery was 79.4% at 3 and 5 years. In details, LRFS rate at 3 and 5 years was 50.0% in RFA, 81.0% in ILC and 88.9% in EBR. Post-operative complications occurred in 6/34 patients (17.7%), in particular after EBR.

RFA is the least invasive technique to treat OB but with high LR rate. Thus, it should be reserved to very small lesions. ILC is a suitable treatment for stage II OB. For stage III OB, EBR is the treatment of choice, despite an increased risk of complications.
