Allergies may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and pain, dermatologic manifestations, asthma and rhinitis. The most common offender among the foodstuffs is milk. Elimination diets are designed not only to remove the offending food but to identify it and to prevent new sensitizations. Canker sores, foul breath and even enuresis may occasionally be related to allergies.

Functional disroders are the most important cause for complaints in the gastrointestinal tract. Dysfunction may concern one or more physiologic properties like tonus, motility, secretion, sometimes also resorption and digestion, or their interaction. Functional disorders of the esophagus (esophagospasm and achalasia) become manifest as dysphagia. Halitosis, bad taste, burning tongue, and flatulent abdomen are frequent symptoms of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Irritable bowel syndrome is probably the functional disorder most freqently found in the gastrointestinal tract. Characteristic symptoms are pain in the lower and upper middle abdominal region, obstipation and/or diarrhea, flatulent abdomen, mucous discharge with the stools and urgent defecation with cramps relieved after discharge. Prognosis quoad vitam is good, the course, however, is subject to many changes. Therapie is symptomatic. Diagnostic and psychotherapeutic measures are intended to help remove carcinophobia and to overcome conflicts and fears.

Most patients who are homebound or in LTC facilities have multiple health problems that require the cooperation of many different types of providers. Dentists have a specific role in this process because they can improve the quality of life for the elderly by keeping them free of oral infection, restoring their dentition so they can enjoy eating, and restoring facial esthetics. It should be apparent that dental care for these patients is a complicated process. There are many considerations in prescribing the type of treatment needed by each patient. These include the patient's life span, medical history, drug history, mental status, mobility status, neuromuscular coordination, dental status, previous dental experience, dental expectations, and economic status. This information must be gathered by the dentist from the patient, the family, the nursing staff, and the patient's physician. Furthermore, the dentist also must assess the facilities and equipment available to carry out oral health care. Only after such considerations can a dental treatment plan evolve that is appropriate for the individual concerned. Dental care for one patient may be no treatment whatsoever, whereas a different patient in the same institution may require the most technologically sophisticated care that dentistry has to offer. Finally, the following circumstances should suggest that a homebound or institutionalized patient needs an urgent oral/dental evaluation: General Signs and Symptoms; Orofacial pain, Visible oral infection, Difficulty chewing food, Halitosis/dry burning mouth, Visible oral soft tissue lesions (white, red, or ulcerated). Tooth-related signs and symptoms; Visible dental decay, Loose or mobile teeth, Bleeding or sore gums. Denture-related Signs and Symptoms; Loose, ill-fitting, or worn dentures, Missing denture teeth, Home repairs attempted.

The purpose of the present review is to describe the unwanted effects of drugs or chemicals in the orofacial region. The authors take into consideration the alterations of salivation such as xerostomia and ptyalism, disturbances of sense of taste, halitosis and pain and swelling of the salivary glands. The dental surgeon who suspects that an oral alteration might be a drug reaction can play an important role in preventing the development of more severe toxic effects. All this points to the importance of the knowledge of pharmacology for dental practitioners.

Oropharyngeal disease is common in dogs and cats. Signs are seldom apparent to the owner until the disease is well advanced, and often are not specific for a particular disease. Signs include inappetence, pawing at the mouth, drooling of saliva, dysphagia, and halitosis. These signs can result from primary oral disease, or from effects of systemic or skin disease. Oral examination requires a cooperative patient; sedation may be necessary so that the entire oral cavity can be examined without causing the animal pain or risking injury to the examiner.

Tornwaldt's disease was first described by Tornwaldt as one of the causes of epipharyngitis, and is an inflammation or abscess of the embryonic remnant cyst of the pharyngeal bursa appearing at the posterior median wall of the nasopharynx. Although many cases are symptom-free, symptoms can often be caused by nasal tamponade, trauma, adenotomy, or other mechanical stimuli. Only a few cases have been reported in Japan between 1929 and 1992. At about the 10th week of embryonic development, the pouch, which forms by adhesion of the pharyngeal ectoderm to the notochord at the most cranial end of the notochord, becomes closed at the orifice (cystic type), or crusts adhere to the orifice without closing (crust type). Symptoms are those of upper respiratory tract infection with obstinate occipital pain, purulent choanal discharge, nasal obstruction, halitosis, feeling of ear fullness, clearing of the throat, etc. Posterior rhinoscopy, simple lateral view X-ray tomography, nasopharyngeal fiberoscopy, CT scan and MRI are useful in showing adhesion to the cervical vertebrae. While complete extirpation via a transpalatal approach is desirable, incision or excision of the cyst can also be performed.

A post-operative survey of 291 children was conducted to assess morbidity found at home in the first five days post-tonsillectomy. Analgesic requirement (92.4 per cent), signs of distress (90.4 per cent), otalgia (69.1 per cent), halitosis (66.7 per cent) were common. Physical or behavioural changes (36.8 per cent) and secondary haemorrhage (8.9 per cent) were also prominent features. Nausea was reported in 59 children (20.3 per cent) and delayed return to a normal diet which in turn predisposed to secondary haemorrhage. Return to normal diet was independent of pain. General Practitioners were consulted by 60.6 per cent and more than half were prescribed drugs. The presence of an organized clot in the tonsillar fossa (3.45 per cent) post-operatively did not delay discharge from hospital and none of these patients re-presented with secondary haemorrhage. Based on their child's experience in this study, only one third of the parents approved of day-case tonsillectomy in principle, a finding which has implications for the instigation of day-case tonsillectomy procedures.

Pediatric tonsillectomy is a common procedure in the ENT practice, usually in a Day-surgery basis. The aim of the present work is to further investigate postoperative morbidity to improve both treatment and quality of assistance. 126 children operated in our Day-surgery unit were included in the study, and a questionnaire with items related to postoperative pain, otalgia, halitosis, vomitig, fever and other aspects was filled by their parents or relatives in charge. Significative pain lasting until the third or fourth day was recorded in half of the cases. At the end of the first week most of the children are improved, although only 55% are eating normally. Vomitting, usually the day of the surgery, is described by one third of cases. In our experience, ambulatory tonsillectomy is a safe procedure with low incidence of complications, which are mild. However, the delay in returning to a normal diet and the relative high incidence of vomiting bring into question the inclusion of tonsillectomy in a Day-Surgery program, making necessary to implement treatment protocols to avoid such problems.

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to investigate the frequency of halitosis before and after eradication therapy and to determine whether halitosis is a valid indication for eradication therapy in patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-positive non-ulcer dyspepsia. METHODS: Dyspepsia, related symptoms, and halitosis were investigated by way of a questionnaire. Only H. pylori-positive patients who showed no organic lesions on endoscopic examination and no atrophy histopathologically were included. A total of 148 patients fulfilled the above criteria and completed the study. Four weeks after the end of eradication treatment, the symptoms were re-evaluated and repeat endoscopy was done to check for H. pylori in the gastric mucosa. Results: H. pylori eradication was successful in 109 patients (73.6%). Prior to treatment, bloating was the most frequent symptom (74.3%), followed by diurnal pain (62.2%) and halitosis (61.5%). The most successfully resolved symptoms in the group as a whole, regardless of eradication status, were halitosis, diurnal pain, and hunger-like pain, respectively. In the patients with confirmed H. pylori eradication, the most successfully resolved symptoms were halitosis and hunger-like pain, respectively. CONCLUSION: Halitosis is a frequent, but treatable, symptom of H. pylori-positive non-ulcer dyspepsia and may be a valid indication for eradication therapy.
