Dental Fluorosis in Children from Aguascalientes, Mexico: A Persistent Public Health Problem.

April 20, 2021 | Water | By Osiel González Dávila | 13(8):1125.
1. Introduction Dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis are major public health concerns around the world. Regions with a high prevalence of such illnesses have been recently documented in Asia, particularly in China [1,2,3,4], India [5,6,7,8], Pakistan [9,10,11], and Sri Lanka [12,13,14]. In Africa, dental fluorosis is prevalent mainly in Sub-Saharan countries, including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Ghana, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Mozambique, and South Africa [15,16,

Voriconazole-induced periostitis

April 19, 2021 | Reumatismo | Fernández Ávila DC, Diehl M, Degrave AM, Buttazzoni M, Pereira T, Aguirre MA, Basquiera AL, Scolnik M. | 73(1):44-47.
The main hypothesis that explains how voriconazole can generate or trigger this periostitis is subacute fluoride toxicity, secondary to the use of the antifungal agent. Voriconazole contains in its structure three fluorine atoms that represent 16.25% of its molecular weight. This means that a dose of 400 mg contains 65 mg of fluorine (6). In addition, 5% is metabolized into free fluorine. The risk of skeletal effects is elevated in patients with fluoride intakes greater than 6 mg/day (7). When p
