CASE REPORT Root canal treatment was performed in a mandibular right second premolar with a periapical lesion and apical resorption. The root canal was prepared with K-files using the step-back technique and 3% NaOCl as an irrigant; during obturation gross overfilling of gutta-percha occurred. The tooth was permanently restored with a post and core along with a crown. Although healing of the pe...

The morphology of supratentorial malignant glioma was examined in autopsy brains from three anaplastic astrocytoma and 11 glioblastoma multiforme patients. Large histological preparations and routine preparations were used to investigate the primary lesion site, infiltration to adjacent brain, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination. The primary lesion sites showed active tumor growth with ...

A 56-year-old man presented with a meningioma associated with hyperostotic bone containing little tumor cell infiltration. The patient presented with a growing mass on his right forehead and exophthalmos. Computed tomography (CT) taken 4 years previously revealed only hyperostosis without intracranial lesion. Repeat CT revealed an enhanced intracranial mass with overlying diffuse hyperostosis e...

AIM: to evaluate the effect of surgery for metastases in retroperitoneal and pelvic lymph nodes on overall disease-free survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS: analysis included 30 patients with node colorectal cancer. Synchronous nodes, were diagnosed 21/30 (70%). RESULTS: median survival who underwent lymphodissection was 32 13 months, respectively. Recurrence occurred 14/30 (47%) patients. One-, two...

We present a rare case of traumatic lesion the tibial fibers sciatic nerve with spared peroneal fibers. A 33-year-old victim three month earlier stabbing attack came to our attention gait impairment and weakened left foot plantar flexion internal rotation supination. Based upon clinical signs neurophysiological investigations we suspected that injury had occurred. Ultrasound examination detecte...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Calcaneous tendon is one of the most damaged tendons, and its healing may last from weeks to months to be completed. In the search after speeding tendon repair, low intensity laser therapy has shown favorable effect. To assess the effect of low intensity laser therapy on the process of tissue repair in calcaneous tendon after undergoing a partial lesion. STUDY DESIGN/...

In the course of coexpressing genes for pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins for a class IV chitinase and an acidic glucanase in transgenic wheat plants, we regenerated a wheat line that developed necrotic lesions containing dead cells in the T2 and subsequent generations. Lesion spots were detected at the booting stage (5- to 6-week-old plants) in lines homozygous for the transgene loci. In cont...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to characterize the evolution of acute ischemic stroke by MRI and its relationship to patients' neurological outcome. METHODS Fourteen patients with acute ischemic stroke underwent MRI within 13 hours of symptom onset (mean, 7.4+/-3 hours) and underwent repeated imaging and concurrent neurological examination at 8, 24, 36, and 48 hours and 7 days and >42 days ...

Abstract Accidental fish bone ingestion is a common complaint at emergency departments. The majority of cases have benign course. However, serious complications such as esophagus perforation, cervical vessel injury and abscess can occur in 7.4% cases. Mortality rates be high 50% when mediastinitis occurs. We report case an esophageal perforation caused by with lesion to the right carotid artery...
