Pentaplegia is a spinal cord injury at or above C4 level, resulting in complete loss of motor functions below the injury level and paralysis of respiratory muscles. Facial injuries might be a factor for early identification of these patients and in implying prompt management. Here, we report a patient who was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sustained facial injury and cardiopulmonary sy...

متن کاملBone injury and fracture healing biology.
OBJECTIVE To better comprehend the molecular structure and physiological function of the housefly larval peritrophic matrix (PM), a mass spectrometry approach was used to investigate the PM protein composition. METHODS The PM was dissected from the midgut of the third instar larvae, and protein extracted from the PM was evaluated using SDS-PAGE. A 1D-PAGE lane containing all protein bands was...
متن کاملAbsorbable Plate-Related Infection after Facial Bone Fracture Reduction
Absorbable plates are used widely for fixation of facial bone fractures. Compared to conventional titanium plating systems, absorbable plates have many favorable traits. They are not palpable after plate absorption, which obviates the need for plate removal. Absorbable plate-related infections are relatively uncommon at less than 5% of patients undergoing fixation of facial bone fractures. The ...
متن کاملPost-Traumatic Bilateral Facial Paralysis Associated with Temporal Bone Fracture.
