It's not a drill, it's for real!

In this article, the authors describe an actual fire on a 40-bed surgical ward in a university-affiliated medical center. By the time staff members discovered the fire, one patient's bed and room were engulfed in flames and smoke was pouring into the hallway. Rapid and appropriate responses of members of the nursing and hospital staff prevented injuries to patients and staff members. Eighteen patients were evacuated within minutes, and the area of the fire was contained quickly. The importance of staff education and preparedness for an internal disaster with an emphasis on fire and safety standards is reviewed in this article.

Diver's mouth syndrome: a report of two cases and construction of custom-made regulator mouthpieces.

Scuba diving is becoming more and more popular and dentists are increasingly likely to encounter patients with diving-related problems. Protruded mandibular positions and the biting forces exercised on the anterior occlusion during diving can cause pain and dysfunction, particularly where a predisposing factor such as bruxism exists. In this article, two cases are reported of patients with diving-exacerbated pain dysfunction syndrome, which improved following the construction of custom-made mouthpieces which distributed the forces more evenly. Laboratory procedures are described for construction of a custom-made scuba regulator mouthpiece that allows more comfortable diving.
