heterotopic pregnancy (hp) is the simultaneous occurrence of intra- and extrauterine pregnancies. it is a rare event in spontaneous pregnancies with an incidence of less than 1:15000 however the frequency has increased to 1% in accordance with the widespread use of assisted reproductive techniques (art). the pre-operative diagnosis of this condition is generally difficult and it would be life t...

INTRODUCTION Heterotopic pancreatic cancer in the duodenum is a very rare disease. Only twelve cases have been reported worldwide to date. We report a rare case of malignant transformation of heterotopic pancreas (Heinrich type III) in the duodenum with long-term survival of the patient, and review the 12 cases in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-year-old Japanese man was admitted to ou...

Twenty consecutive primary noncemented total hip arthroplasties performed on 12 men with ankylosing spondylitis were available to be studied clinically and radiographically at an average follow-up period of 75 months (range, 27-121 months). The average patient age at the time of surgery was 35 years (range, 23-53 years). Harris hip scores averaged 48.4 before surgery and 89.1 at the most recent...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of prophylactic modalities for heterotopic ossification prevention after elbow and acetabular surgeries. METHODS The retrospective chart review was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital and comprised record of patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for elbow and acetabular fractures between 2010 and 2013. Data was class...

Early cellular development was studied in the neocortex of the tish rat. This neurological mutant is seizure-prone and displays cortical heterotopia similar to those observed in certain epileptic patients. The present study demonstrates that a single cortical preplate is formed in a typical superficial position of the developing tish neocortex. In contrast, two cortical plates are formed: one i...

From the concept of heterotopia, and in light a personal artistic practice, this article proposes an investigation space place, passage from one to another which makes it possible rewrite world new other space. As artist-researcher, my production revolves around hybrid objects, paintings-objects, assemblages-simulacra, narrative ready-mades, explore various hanging systems, base integrated into...

CONTEXT Majority of the patients developing obstructive jaundice have an underlying malignancy. Identification of a benign pathology like heterotopic pancreas as an aetiology is uncommon and usually occurs only subsequent to a major operation. CASE REPORT We report a case of heterotopic pancreas adjacent to the ampulla of Vater mimicking distal cholangiocarcinoma. A 47-year-old patient presen...

Neuronal heterotopia has a strong association with epilepsy, but the mechanisms that underlie this relationship are largely unknown. We have utilized the in utero irradiated rat model to study circuit abnormalities in experimentally induced subcortical heterotopic gray matter. Spontaneous and miniature inhibitory (IPSCs) and excitatory (EPSCs) postsynaptic currents were recorded from visualized...

that is lying outside its normal location and it lacks any anatomic or vascular connections with the pancreas. It is also described as pancreatic heterotopia, a term coined by Barbosa et al. (1) in 1946. The frequency of heterotopic pancreas has been estimated to be 1 case per 500 explorations of the upper abdomen or 0.6-13.7% of autopsies (2). Heterotopic pancreatic tissue may be found anywher...
