“…Early studies have shown that ECAS a is capable of removing the smear layer from root canals in vivo [88] and was as effective as chlorhexidine in inhibiting plaque formation in human subjects [125]. This confirmed that the in vitro activity of ECAS a against oral microorganisms (see Table 1) was also observed in vivo, whereby acidic, neutralised and low available chlorine concentration ECAS a have all been shown to be active against cariogenic bacteria [53].…”

“…[7,27,63,69,87]. Biofilms are of particular concern in the oral cavity, as these polymicrobial communities can contribute to periodontal disease states and ECAS a have been shown to be effective at removing necrotic dentine and pulp tissue, as well as microorganisms from tooth surfaces [88], which would otherwise likely lead to biofilm development associated with oral diseases. The antimicrobial activity of ECAS a is dependent on highly reactive non-specific oxidants (as previously described), and these active moieties are almost certainly competitively quenched by the high levels of organic load present within a biofilm structure (particularly the extracellular polymeric matrix).…”

Due to the limitations associated with the use of existing biocidal agents, there is a need to explore new methods of disinfection to help maintain effective bioburden control, especially within the healthcare environment. The transformation of low mineral salt solutions into an activated metastable state, by electrochemical unipolar action, produces a solution containing a variety of oxidants, including hypochlorous acid, free chlorine and free radicals, known to possess antimicrobial properties. Electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) have been shown to have broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and have the potential to be widely adopted within the healthcare environment due to low-cost raw material requirements and ease of production (either remotely or in situ). Numerous studies have found ECAS to be highly efficacious, as both a novel environmental decontaminant and a topical treatment agent (with low accompanying toxicity), but they are still not in widespread use, particularly within the healthcare environment. This review provides an overview of the scientific evidence for the mode of action, antimicrobial spectrum and potential healthcare-related applications of ECAS, providing an insight into these novel yet seldom utilised biocides.

A submucosal tumor of the esophagus was enucleated by a thoracotomy. A microscopic examination showed the tumor to be composed of spindle-shaped cells showing mild nuclear atypia with vague nuclear palisading and scarce mitotic figures. The tumor was surrounded by peripheral lymphoid cuffs. An immunohistochemical study demonstrated diffuse positive staining for S-100 protein in the tumor cells. The lesion was diagnosed to be an esophageal schwannoma based on these pathological features. Benign schwannoma of the esophagus has been described in five cases in four reports in the English literature. This is the sixth case diagnosed by immunohistochemical studies.
