Introduction. Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous tumour of low/intermediate malignant potential, which occasionally arises on the vulva. Historically, the treatment has been wide local excision (WLE). Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is now recommended to ensure precise margin control. MMS to treat DFSP of the trunk and extremities is well documented. However, no report t...

Free vascularized fibular flap is considered the treatment of choice in mandibular reconstruction for extensive bone defects (over 6 centimeters) resulting from trauma, infections or tumor resections. But, when the reconstruction involves a dentate mandible, the fibula has the limit as it does not offer sufficient bone height to restore the alveolar arch up to the occlusal plane. Therefore, the...

To investigate developmental morphological variation of the hippocampal formation, we evaluated the degree of hippocampal infolding in cross-sectional oblique coronal images of the cerebral peduncle and the superior cerebellar peduncle. We defined the hippocampal infolding angle as the angle between the vertical midline and the straight line connecting the medial superior margin of the subiculu...

A fully coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model (the Fast Ocean-Atmosphere Model) is used to simulate the Neoproterozoic climate with a reduced solar luminosity (95% of present-day), low atmospheric CO2 (140 ppmv), and an idealized tropical supercontinent. Two coupled simulations were completed with present-day and cold initial ocean temperatures. These experiments are compared with ...

A new genus and new species of Chauliodinae are described and illustrated, Puri gen. nov. and P. aleca sp. nov. The material was collected in the Mantiqueira Mountain Range, Itamonte Municipality, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is the first report of adults of this subfamily from Brazil. In the male, the new genus is diagnosed by the short subserrate antennae, length less than ½ of forewin...

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate skeletal and dental compensation in patients with vertical skeletal dysplasias and to determine which dentoalveolar parameters compensate for vertical jaw discrepancies. Cephalometric analyses were performed on pre-treatment lateral cephalographs of 186 orthodontic patients (120 females and 66 males; mean age 15 years 11 months) who met t...

The pterion is a commonly used landmark on neurocranium; classified in four types: sphenoparietal, frontotemporal, stellate and epipteric. In this study we have found out morphology and location of pterion of skull of Gujarat region and comparison of their morphology with other populations. 42 skulls of unknown gender were examined on both sides from Department of Anatomy, Medical College Bhavn...

The tumour was an elongated oval, almost twice the size of the fist. The vertical extent was from just below the crest of the ilium to 1J inches below the gluteal fold?the lower pole of the tumour projecting down over the back of the thigh. In the horizontal plane it extended almost from the mid-line of the sacrum to the great trochanter. The surface of the tumour was smooth and regular, and th...
