A nine-year-old boy presented with an extrusive luxation injury of teeth #11 and #21, accompanied by an uncomplicated crown fracture. Our proposed treatment plan was to opt for root canal treatment for both central incisors to prevent EIR; however, the patient's guardian opted for root canal treatment only for tooth #21 and to keep tooth #11 under observation, as it was vital at the time. Unfortunately, at the eighth-week follow-up visit, signs of root resorption on tooth #11 became evident. Treatment using calcium hydroxide intracanal dressings every two weeks was initiated, successfully arresting the resorption. The root canal space was subsequently obturated with bioceramic putty. At the three-month follow-up, tooth #11 demonstrated stability of the resorption site, periapical healing, and the absence of clinical symptoms and mobility. This case highlights the crucial role of immediate intervention to preserve dental tooth structure and prevent or stop root resorption. It emphasizes that inadequate or delayed management can significantly worsen the prognosis of trauma-induced root resorption.</p>","PeriodicalId":93960,"journal":{"name":"Cureus","volume":"17 10","pages":"e93663"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12488037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145214938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients have less surgical trauma to tissue, a shorter stay in the hospital, and a better quality of life after the operation. In the presented surgical technique, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS)-coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), we achieved total arterial revascularization of the myocardium with five bypasses, off-pump, without manipulation of the aorta. Using left thoracotomy, the left internal mammary artery was harvested, and from the non-dominant hand, the radial artery (AR) was harvested with the no-touch technique. A composite T-graft was created with the left intrathoracic mammary artery (LIMA) and the AR. Then, the LIMA was used as a sequential graft to a diagonal (Dg) branch, and the distal LIMA was used for a termino-lateral (T-L) anastomosis between the LIMA and the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The AR was used for grafting obtuse marginal (OM) branches (first OM (OM1), second OM (OM2)) and the posterior descending artery (PDA), as a LIMA-AR-OM1-OM2-PDA graft, jumping anastomosis. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the fourth postoperative day, and after three months, a control computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography confirmed optimal graft patency.

Discharged patients with unresolved swallowing problems may become vulnerable to aspiration pneumonia and unexpected hospital readmissions. The purpose of this study was to establish the connection between predischarge dysphagia, measured with the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10), and the incidence of aspiration pneumonia and 90-day hospital readmission. Methods The study was a prospective observational study conducted from January to June 2025 in hospitals in Lahore. The 511 clinically stable participants discharged were evaluated regarding dysphagia, demographic, and clinical information using the EAT-10. The incidence of aspiration pneumonia and readmission was established using follow-up at 90 days. Correlation tests, including the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis H test, the chi-square test, and logistic regression, were used to analyze the data. Results The significant scores on the EAT-10 were related to aspiration pneumonia (r = 0.245, p < 0.001) and 90-day readmission (r = 0.310, p < 0.001). Patients who scored high on the EAT-10 were more likely to develop pneumonia (p < 0.001) and readmission (p < 0.001). Other predictors included older age, comorbidities, a history of pneumonia, and an extended hospital stay. Logistic regression supported EAT-10 as a significant predictor of both pneumonia (OR = 1.03, p = 0.012) and readmission (OR = 1.01, p = 0.040). Conclusions Predischarge dysphagia, as measured by EAT-10, is strongly related to post-discharge complications such as aspiration pneumonia and readmission. Regular screening during discharge can help identify high-risk patients and enable timely interventions, thereby enhancing patient safety and outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":93960,"journal":{"name":"Cureus","volume":"17 10","pages":"e93643"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12487540/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145214917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
