Efficacy of Salvage Interferential Electrical Stimulation Therapy in Patients With Medication-Refractory Enuresis: A Pilot Study
PURPOSE In pediatric patients with enuresis, the protocol for salvage therapy in patients in whom first-line therapy was not successful has not yet been established. Interferential electrical stimulation (IF-ES) therapy is advantageous because it is noninvasive and shows high compliance. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of IF-ES therapy on pediatric enuresis in a pilot study. M...

متن کاملCaries prevention for patients with dry mouth.
Patients with xerostomia, or dry mouth, resulting from various causes, are at higher risk for developing caries because of a loss of saliva and its benefits. A loss of saliva increases the acidity of the mouth, which affects many factors that contribute to the development of caries, such as proliferation of acid-producing bacteria, inability to buffer the acid produced by bacteria or from inges...
متن کاملEvaluation of the concordance of sialometry and salivary glands scintigraphy in dry mouth patients.
INTRODUCTION Many diagnostic tests are used to evaluate dry mouth patients, especially the ones with Sjögren's Syndrome, to whom these tests are part of classification criteria for scientific studies. AIM Thus, the concordance between results of sialometry and salivary glands scintigraphy was evaluated; if positive, it would enable the choice of one or the other for diagnosis. PATIENTS AND ...
