introduction: nodular fasciitis is described as a benign reactive proliferation of myofibroblasts. due to its rapid-growing nature, a precise clinical diagnosis is difficult and the condition is frequently misdiagnosed as malignant lesions.   case report: in this study, we present the case of a young woman with an auricular nodular fasciitis as an example of one of the rarest sites of this tumo...

ear candling is an alternative medicine practice alleged to enhance general health by putting an end of a hollow candle in the ear canal and lighting up the other end of it. it also is advertised for cerumen and debris (bacteria and fungi) removal. ear candling is claimed to create negative pressure for drawing cerumen from the ear and to benefit the ears in many ways. it is however not free of...

great prosthesis for reinforcement of visceral sac is a guranteed operation for unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernias in otil patients or recurrent cases. the greatest use of this technique is in the patients who are at specially high risk for recurrence. we successfully accomplished this technique in 70 cases in our hospital while the patients were countiniously under our close inspection f...

Background: Limb salvaging surgeries are current surgical treatment of extremity bone sarcomas. Resected bonereplacement consists of two main methods; tumor prosthesis versus structural allograft. Biological reconstruction withan allograft is an economic cheap method in young sarcoma patients, however, the surgeons are more convinced withtumor prosthesis replacement.Methods: We evaluated the sh...

AbstractIntroduction Silicone gel breast implants are used for breast reconstruction post mastectomy. In the event of cancer recurrence, the radiation oncologists are forced to irradiate through the prosthesis device. Due to prosthesis higher atomic number dose perturbations occur during treatment. This study determined the influence of silicone gel thickness on the photon beam distribution. Ma...

the finite element method (fem) is one of advanced methods in modeling of solid mechanics used in the design and analyzing of prosthesis in the human body. one of the important factors in designing a femur (the linkage between basin and knee) which is under complicated stresses is to minimize the amount of the stress in the components of the prosthesis due to the body weight. in this research t...

Cat cochleas implanted with scala tympani prostheses were investigated histologically after inoculating the bullae with a suspension of group A streptococci. The prosthesis was passed through the round window membrane in one ear. In the other the prosthesis bypassed the round window via an opening anteroinferior to the round window niche. Before death, horseradish peroxidase was administered as...

The objective of this study was to highlight the importance of Maxillofacial Prosthesis in the management of Oral Caner after the surgical resection. It was an observational hospital based study conducted at Prosthetic department of de,Montmorancy College of Dentistry, Lahore in collaboration with Inmole Hospital, Lahore over a period of one year. Out of a total of 2036 cancer patients, 125 pat...

There is no clear consensus concerning the best endoscopic treatment of benign refractory esophageal strictures due to caustic ingestion. Different procedures are currently used: frequent multiple dilations, retrievable self-expanding stent, nasogastric intubation and surgery. We describe a new technique to fix a suspended esophageal silicone prosthesis to the neck in benign esophageal strictur...
