German Dentists’ Knowledge About How to Proceed in Cases of Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect
Introduction: Studies from several countries have shown that there is a lack of knowledge related to child protection among dentists and their teams. So far, there are no data available about the situation in Germany. Aim of this study is to describe the perception of the role of German dentists in terms of child abuse and neglect.
Material and Methods: A questionnaire previously used by other studies regarding the role of dentists in child protection was adapted to German terminology and provided online. The internet address has been shown in different German dentists’ association journals addressing dentists only. The participation was voluntary.
Results: A total of 251 (79.68%) dentists completed the questionnaire with valid data, 62.5% reported to have had a sus- picion of child abuse or neglect. Of these, 21,7% had reported their suspicion to the social services. Dentists specialized in pediatric dentistry reported their suspicion more often. Most frequently reported barriers towards contacting social services were uncertainty about diagnosis, fear of violence towards the child and the lack of knowledge in terms of referral procedures. Most of the participants expressed a need for further education.
Conclusion: Dentists in Germany are not able to fill their role in child protection matters sufficiently and show a need for undergraduate and continuing postgraduate training.
The Heel Fat Pad Syndrome - A Neglected Diagnosis
The heel fat pad cushioning is the result of its structure, shape, thickness. Its morphological modifications due to changes in the amount or distribution of the loads normally sustained by the foot can be disturbed and can result in heel pain. The heel fat pad was found to have a crest on its anterior dorsal surface, flanges on both sides and posteriorly, and a thick portion that reached and covered the posterior surface of the calcaneus and the Achilles tendon insertion. Its anterior internal portion is thinner, and a lump of fat is consistently present in this region [1].

Scaling up the Ebola Response: What we Learned from AIDS Activism
Thirty years of AIDS activism have taught us many invaluable lessons in responding to rapidly evolving global health epidemics. In this article, I apply five of them-innovative governance and financing; alternative incentives for biomedical research and development on neglected diseases; health systems strengthening; community and civil society engagement; and human rights protection-to the current Ebola epidemic.
