Comparison of post-mortem vitreous fluid and blood glucose levels in diabetes-induced rabbit models.
Diabetes is a common systemic disease in the world. Acute complications of diabetes may cause sudden unexpected deaths. Analysis done in vitreous fluid which is more protected and less contaminated by bacteria comparing to blood will produce more accurate results. ⋯ It can be clearly seen that vitreous fluid samples should be taken in judicial cases with sudden unexpected deaths like diabetes. This will contribute to identification cause of death.

In infertility counseling, health professionals must explain the gender differences. Also, infertile couples must encourage to share each other's feelings and this may help couples to cope with the communication problems they may experience.

Localized infection of the extraction socket can compromise bone quality and quantity within the socket and bone support for the adjacent dentition. These events can preclude immediate rehabilitative interventions, such as implant placement, and increase the technical sensitivity of guided bone regeneration procedures for successful tissue and bone gain. The use of local scaffolds containing effective antimicrobial agents may suppress local infection and facilitate the regenerative process related to the introduced bone graft particles and barrier collagen membrane. In this case report, pre-medicated collagen sponges containing chlorhexidine and metronidazole were used in conjunction with a bone graft and collagen membrane for guided tissue and bone regeneration, which was followed by delayed implant placement with 2 years of follow-up evaluations.
