What are the options to replace the lost tooth in case a child 2.5 yrs of age lost his upper front tooth (milk tooth) along with roots?

Since the child is 2.5 years of age, it would take about 5.5 years for the permanent counterpart(central incisors) to erupt. The upper (maxillary) central incisors generally tend to erupt at around 7–8 years.
Since the child has lost his primary incisors so young, it's gonna be a must to maintain that space. When primary teeth are lost earlier that necessary; the adjacent teeth tend to migrate into that space and thereby causing loss of the arch space. This leads to lack of space for the succedaneous tooth to erupt. In this case that would be the central incisors and eventually ending up with malocclusion. There are however studies which say that when teeth anterior to the canines are lost after the primary canines erupt; there isn't a loss of space and the arch remains stable

Sharing clinical notes engages OB-GYN patients ?

Mary Herlihy, M.D., from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues assessed obstetrics and gynecology patients' interest in reading their ambulatory visit notes, identification of documentation errors, and perceptions of sensitive language. As part of a quality improvement effort, patients (except those seen for ) were invited to read their ambulatory visit notes and provide feedback using a patient reporting tool co-developed with patients.

"Greater outreach and patient encouragement are needed to further engage patients in safety," the authors write.

How is the life of an adult after heart valve replacement?

It depends upon several factors listed and explained below
1) Type of disease you have - Generally patients with aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation do well after valve replacement. The left ventricle adopts relatively quickly (timeline varies between 6 months to 2 years) to the normalized hemodynamics. Symptoms of heart failure generally revert rapidly after replacement.
Patients with mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation have a different scenario. They tend to have more rhythm disorders (atrial fibrillation) which tend to persist even after surgery if Cox Maze is not done simultaneously. They may also have pulmonary hypertension which may be irreversible in advanced stages.
