- In August 23-25, 2007, the Scandinavian Society for Prosthetic Dentistry in collaboration with the Danish Society of Oral Implantology arranged a consensus conference on the topic 'Implants and/or teeth'. It was preceded by a workshop in which eight focused questions were raised and answered in eight review articles using a systematic approach. Twenty-eight academicians and clinicians discussed the eight review papers with the purpose to reach consensus on questions relevant for the topic. At the conference the consensus statements were presented as well as lectures based on the review articles. In this article the methods used at the consensus workshop are briefly described followed by the statements with comments.

- OBJECTIVE: To describe the occurrence of prodromal symptoms in suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to relate such symptoms to final diagnosis and previous history. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Coronary care unit in Sahlgrenska Hospital in Göteborg, Sweden. PATIENTS: 914 patients admitted to the coronary care unit for suspected AMI. OUTCOME MEASURES: Chest pain within the last 48 hours or other prodromal symptoms. RESULTS: Among patients in whom AMI developed, 57% reported prodromal chest pain and 61% reported other prodromal symptoms. Size, location, or type (Q-wave versus non-Q-wave AMI) did not influence outcome. Women reported more prodromal symptoms than men (p < 0.05), whereas age did not influence results. A similar proportion of patients with no confirmed AMI reported prodromal symptoms. Fifty-nine percent of patients with prodromal symptoms had wished to contact a physician if possible, and in fact one third did so. Two thirds of all patients were at rest, and one third reported some emotional distress before onset of the symptoms that brought them to hospital. CONCLUSION: A large proportion of patients with suspected AMI experienced prodromal symptoms before onset of suspected AMI. Such symptoms were more common in women but were not affected by size, location, or type of AMI. The symptoms were so severe that 59% of the patients with such symptoms wished to contact a physician before arrival in hospital.

- BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) will not develop in a large proportion of patients admitted to the coronary care unit because of suspected AMI. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether patients with confirmed AMI use different words to describe their pain than patients in whom AMI was not confirmed. DESIGN: A retrospective descriptive design. METHODS: The Pain-O-Meter, a verbal pain scale composed of 12 sensory and 10 emotional word descriptors, was used to assess pain. SETTING: Coronary care unit in Sahlgrenska Hospital in Goteborg, Sweden. SUBJECTS: A convenience sample of 889 consecutive patients admitted to the coronary care unit because of suspected AMI. RESULTS: SENSORY COMPONENT--patients with confirmed AMI differed from those without AMI in the use of the words "pricking" (12% vs 17%; p < 0.05) and "tearing" (11% vs 6%; p < 0.05). No difference was found in the remaining 10 words. Affective components--Patients with confirmed AMI differed from those without AMI in the use of "terrifying" (29% vs 18%; p < 0.001), "intolerable" (16% vs 10%; p < 0.01), and "worrying" (48% vs 59%; p < 0.01). Women used stronger word descriptors more frequently than men. CONCLUSION: The use of specific or more word descriptors to separate patients with AMI from those without AMI was not supported by the study data. Although patients with AMI more frequently used the sensory word tearing as well as the affective words terrifying and intolerable and less frequently used the sensory word pricking and the affective word worrying than patients without AMI, the differences do not suggest a clinical profile that can be used to differentiate these clinical entities.

- PurposeThis study aims to investigate whether the treatment effects, in terms of goal attainment, transfer effects and impact on executive functions, of an intervention in children with cerebral palsy or spina bifida using the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach are maintained over time, from immediately after the intervention to three months afterwards.MethodA three-month follow-up study, from an intervention using CO-OP. Thirty-four children (7-16 years) each identified four goals (one untrained to examine transfer) and participated in an eleven-session intervention. Assessments were performed at baseline, immediately after the intervention and at a three-month follow-up using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and the Performance Quality Rating Scale. Executive function and self-rated competence were assessed at the same timepoints.ResultsStatistically significant and clinically relevant improvements in goal achievement were demonstrated for both trained and untrained goals after the intervention and were maintained at follow-up. The clinically relevant improvement in untrained goals continued to increase until follow-up. Self-rated competence increased after the intervention and was maintained at follow-up.ConclusionThe CO-OP intervention was effective in achieving and maintaining the children's own goals over time. The transfer effect was confirmed by higher goal attainment for the untrained goals.

- Purpose Children with cerebral palsy (CP) or spina bifida (SB) often have executive dysfunction affecting activity performance. With the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach, children find their own way to perform activities, using problem-solving strategies and meta-cognitive thinking. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the CO-OP Approach in children with CP or SB, compared with conventional rehabilitation, in achieving self-identified activity goals, and to explore any generalization and transfer effects. Method Randomized controlled trial, CO-OP versus treatment as usual, 38 children (7-16 years) participated. Each child identified four goals (to study generalization and transfer, one remained untrained). Primary outcomes: Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS). Secondary outcomes assessed executive functions and self-rated everyday-life competence. Results Self-rated goal attainment (COPM) was significantly greater for both trained and untrained goals in the CO-OP group compared with the control group. The rating of observed performance (PQRS) was significantly higher for trained goals in the CO-OP group. The CO-OP group experienced fewer problems in everyday life after treatment. Executive functions did not differ significantly between groups. Conclusion CO-OP is more effective than ordinary treatment in achieving both trained and untrained goals.
