INTRODUCTION Curettage of the cyst and bone grafting are the most common methods used in the treatment of unicameral bone cysts (UBC) and aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC). Recurrence of these cysts is often associated with insufficient curettage of the cyst during surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of insufficient curettage on recurrence in patients with UBC and ABC. METHODS T...

Background: Ingrown toe nail (IGTN) is a painful condition in which the distal-lateral corner of the nail grows into its surrounding soft tissue leading to inflammation and infection. Failure of conservative therapy is an indication for surgical interventions. The aim of this study is to compare matricectomy by curettage with chemical matricectomy with phenol 88% in terms of post procedur...

In the present study, we evaluated the diagnosis and management modalities of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Thirty patients diagnosed with CSP were retrospectively studied between February, 2010 and February, 2012. Twenty-five patients were offered prophylactic uterine artery embolization (UAE) and methotrexate (MTX) prior to uterine suction curettage. Five cases were referred from other hosp...

The existence of a shallow or virtual tetraquark state, c c ū d̄, is discussed. Using the putative masses for the doubly charmed baryons (c c u/c c d) from SELEX, the mass of the c c ū d̄ state is estimated to be about 3.9GeV , only slightly above the DD threshold. The experimental signatures for various c c ū d̄ masses are also discussed. Typeset using REVTEX 1

OBJECTIVE To assess optimal surgical treatment with excision or curettage techniques in children with cervicofacial nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) adenitis. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Tertiary university-based pediatric referral center. PATIENTS Patients younger than 18 years diagnosed as having cervicofacial NTM adenitis by positive mycobacterial cultures or stains, or...

Background: Cervical pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy (EP) in which the pregnancy implants in the lining of the endocervical canal. It accounts for less than 1 percent of ectopic pregnancies. The cause is unknown; local pathology related to previous cervical or uterine surgery may play a role given an apparent association with a prior history of curettage or cesarean delivery. The ...

achalasia is a well- defined esophageal motor disorder. graded pneumatic dilation using rigiflex ballon is one of the therapeutic modalities that had not been evaluated in a large long-term study. we aimed at evaluating long-term efficacy of graded rigiflex pneumatic dilation in the treatment of achalasia. symptomatic patients with achalasia who had been referred to our center were consecutivel...

Background: Curettage is an act of scraping the granulation tissue on lateral gingival wall periodontal pocket. After curettage, a pack was applied to control bleeding and keep wound area clean. The addition iodine leaves as alternative because it contains flavonoids that can help healing process. This study aims determine effect adding 10% leaf extract gel curettage process.Method: A true expe...
