Although bone and soft-tissue sarcomas are rare, early diagnosis and prompt referral to a specialised unit offers the best chance of a successful outcome both in terms of survival and surgical resection. This paper highlights the clinical and radiological features that might suggest the possibility of a bone or soft-tissue sarcoma and suggests a succinct management pathway for establishing whet...

Biological fixation of orthopedic soft tissue grafts to bone poses a significant clinical challenge. The clinical success of soft tissue-based grafts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is limited by the lack of functional graft integration with subchondral bone. Soft tissues such as the ACL connect to subchondral bone via a complex interface whereby three distinct tissue region...

AIM To histologically assess the effectiveness of a socket-preservation technique using enzyme-treated equine bone granules as a bone-graft material in combination with an equine collagen matrix as a scaffold for soft-tissue regeneration. BACKGROUND Enzyme-treated equine bone granules and equine collagen matrix recently have been developed to help overcome alveolar bone deficiencies that deve...

the glandular odontogenic cyst (goc) is a rare lesion with odontogenic origin. it shows a propensity for recurrence revealed in 30% of all case. this investigation reports a case of recurrent goc in a 35-year-old female in the anterior region of the maxilla, which is uncommon and discusses about ihc finding, surgical methods, and differential diagnosis. under general anesthesia, peripheral bone...

A method for computing nonlinear soft–tissue deformation caused by simulated surgical procedures is presented. A mass–spring system is used to model patient individual soft–tissue. Instead of simulating dynamic behaviour, the introduced approach directly estimates the rest position of the system. Very fast and robust nonlinear soft–tissue deformation is computed using an optimization approach. ...

Introduction: The lenticular process of the incus succumbs to necrosis in chronic otitis media. Few researchers have addressed the issue of autograft incus preservation in the soft tissue of the tragus or mastoid cavity. Nonetheless, preservation of the incus in this method during the second stage of ossiculoplasty is a subject that is still up for debate. This study was carried out to demonstr...

introduction one of the important applications of nuclear physics in medicine is the use of radioactive elements as radiopharmaceuticals. metastatic bone disease is the most common form of malignant bone tumors. samarium-153-ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonate (153sm-edtmp) as a radiopharmaceutical is used for pain palliation. this radiopharmaceutical usually emits beta particles, which...

introduction: diode laser with wavelengths ranging from 810 to 980 nm in a continuous or pulsed mode was used as a possible instrument for soft tissue surgery in the oral cavity. discussion: diode laser is one of laser systems in which photons are produced by electric current with wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980nm. the application of diode laser in soft tissue oral surgery has been evaluated fr...

introduction: osteoporosis is a bone disease in which there is a reduction in the amount of bone mineral content leading to an increase in the risk of bone fractures. the affected individuals not only have to go through lots of pain and suffering but this disease also results in high economic costs to the society due to a large number of fractures.  a timely and accurate diagnosis of this disea...
