Abstract
Analog space missions were created to study the human factor in extraordinary conditions that would occur in future space habitats. Isolation has been shown to cause stress and disrupt individuals’ daily routine, which can also affect their oral hygiene and lead to an increased risk of dental caries and gingivitis. The astronauts’ specific freeze-dried diet is associated with “lazy” chewing, potential dehydration and vitamin A deficiency, which may adversely affect their saliva. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the freeze-dried diet on selected oral hygiene indicators in analog astronauts (AA) enduring strict isolation conditions during six consecutive analog space missions at the LunAres Research Station. During the experiment the oral hygiene and gingival inflammation status measurements were conducted on the group of AAs at the beginning and at the end of each mission. Measurements included four oral hygiene indicators: API, sOHI, PI by Silness and Loe and GBI by Ainamo and Bay. Each AA’s individual scores were noted and analyzed. Statistically significant reduction in the amount of plaque and intensity of gingival bleeding was observed over the course of the study, which could indicate positive results of applied oral hygiene procedures despite unfavorable dietary and stressful isolation conditions.

Abstract
AbstractOur goal was to perform a scoping systematic review of the literature on the use of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) for refractory status epilepticus (RSE) in pediatric patients. Articles from MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMBASE, Global Health, Healthstar, Scopus, Cochrane Library, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, ClinicalTrials.gov (inception to June 2016), reference lists of relevant articles, and gray literature were searched. The strength of evidence was adjudicated using both the Oxford and Grading of Recommendation Assessment Development and Education (GRADE) methodology by two independent reviewers. We identified 21 original articles. Eighty-seven pediatric patients were described as having received IVIG therapy for RSE. The mean age was 7.8 years (range: 2–17.5 years). Seizure response occurred in 14 of the 87 patients (16.1%), with 3 (3.4%) and 11 (12.6%) displaying partial and complete responses, respectively. Seventy-three of the 87 patients (83.9%) failed to display any seizure response to IVIG therapy. No complications related to IVIG therapy were recorded. The majority of patients had moderate to severe neurological deficits upon follow-up. Oxford level 4, GRADE D evidence exists to suggest little to no impact on seizure control in pediatric autoimmune RSE. Routine use of IVIG for pediatric RSE cannot be recommended at this time and should be considered experimental.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our goal was to perform a scoping systematic review of the literature on the use of plasmapheresis or plasma exchange (PE) for refractory status epilepticus (RSE) in children. METHODS Articles from MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMBASE, Global Health, Healthstar, Scopus, Cochrane Library, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, clinicaltrials.gov (inception to May 2016), reference lists of relevant articles, and gray literature were searched. The strength of evidence was adjudicated using both the Oxford and GRADE methodology by two independent reviewers. RESULTS Twenty-two original articles were identified, with 37 pediatric patients. The mean age of the patients was 8.3 years (age median: 8.5, range: 0.6 years-17 years). Seizure response to PE therapy occurred in 9 of the 37 patients (24.3%) included in the review, with 7 patients (18.9%) displaying resolution of seizures and 2 patients (5.4%) displaying a partial reduction in seizure volume. Twenty-eight of the 37 patients (75.7%) had no response to PE therapy. No adverse events were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Oxford level 4, GRADE D evidence exists to suggest little to no benefit of PE in pediatric RSE. Routine application of PE for pediatric RSE cannot be recommended at this time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our goal was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the use of intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) for non-eclamptic status epilepticus (SE) and refractory status epilepticus (RSE). METHODS Articles from MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMBASE, Global Health, Scopus, Cochrane Library, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, clinicaltrials.gov (inception to June 2015), reference lists of relevant articles, and gray literature were searched. The strength of evidence was adjudicated using both the Oxford and GRADE methodology by two independent reviewers. RESULTS We identified 19 original articles. A total of 28 patients were described in these articles with 11 being adult, 9 being pediatric, and 8 of unknown age. Seizure reduction/control with IV MgSO4 occurred in 14 of the 28 patients (50.0%), with 2 (7.1%) and 12 (42.9%) displaying partial and complete responses respectively. Seizures recurred upon withdrawal of MgSO4 therapy in 50% of the patients whom had reduction/control of their SE/RSE. Three patients had recorded adverse events related to MgSO4 therapy. CONCLUSIONS Oxford level 4, GRADE D evidence exists to suggest a trend towards improved seizure control with the use of intravenous MgSO4 for non-eclamptic RSE. Routine use of IV MgSO4 in non-eclamptic SE/RSE cannot be recommended at this time. Further prospective study of this drug is required in order to determine its efficacy as an anti-epileptic in this setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effort to decrease hospital stays and to increase operating room efficacy has become an important consideration in the practice of anesthesia. METHODS Fifty-three patients who underwent shoulder rotator cuff repair in the sitting position were divided into four groups according to the anesthesia technique used: Group 1 (general anesthesia), Group 2 (interscalene block), Group 3 (interscalene combined with general anesthesia) and Group 4 (general anesthesia combined with local injection of local anesthetics). Interscalene blocks were performed preoperatively, using a nerve stimulator. After appropriately locating the brachial plexus, a mixture of 40 ml of 2% lidocaine and 0.5% bupivacaine (v/v) was injected. RESULTS As compared to general anesthesia, the use of an interscalene block alone reduced the following operating room times: 1) from the patient's arrival in the operating room to the beginning of surgery and 2) from the end of surgery to the patient's departure from the operating room. Use of the interscalene block also resulted in a reduction of recovery time when compared to Groups 1, 3 and 4 by 40, 56 and 66%, respectively. Compared to Group 1, this anesthesia technique was furthermore associated with a 64% decrease in the number of patients hospitalized overnight. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms that the interscalene block as sole anesthesia technique is safe and effective and can contribute to shorten the hospital length of stay of patients undergoing shoulder rotator cuff surgery.

Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as a typical example of minimal invasive surgery, is associated with low complication rates and minimal patient discomfort, and provides the same safety as conventional cholecystectomy. In the present prospective observational study, endocrine parameters as indicators for stress response were measured. We investigated 53 patient with laparoscopy cholecystectomy and 12 patients with conventional cholecystectomy. Blood samples were taken pre-, peri-, and postoperatively for measurement of ACTH, cortisol, prolactin, and growth hormone. General anesthesia followed a standardized protocol. The increase in all stress hormones did not differ between patients in the two groups, and was comparable with that reported in the literature and the findings of our own previous studies in patients undergoing conventional cholecystectomy and elective colon resection. We conclude that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with a pronounced endocrine stress response that does not account for the observed differences in the peri- and postoperative complication rate or patient comfort.
