today, the treatment of patellar luxations using current techniques has become a very common procedureas part of the surgical treatment. nevertheless, there are some doubts about such procedures in restraining the patella in lower grade cases. the purpose of the present retrospective clinical study was to determine theefficacy of the soft tissue and bone reconstructive procedures used for vario...

introduction microbial plaque is the main etiologic factor which causes disease in soft tissue around dental implants. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plaque on health indicies of soft tissue around dental implants. methods and materials 45 patients with 211 dental implants were examined clinically for four years after prosthodontic treatment. plaque index and health ind...

The musculoskeletal extrapulmonary tuberculosis is uncommon, the upper extremity tuberculosis is not common and the mycobacterial involvement of skin of hands and synovial sheath of tendons is rare. This prospective observational study was undertaken between August  2014 and December 2015 in a tertiary referral hospital. Patients attending with suspected primary tuberculosis of soft tissue...

Introduction: Mandibular continuity defects after pathologic resections or traumatic events are difficult cases for reconstruction. Defects involving both hard and soft tissue loss are more challenging, because of problems in soft tissue coverage. The role of the submental flap in this regard is presented.   Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study from the archived files of Ghaem Hospi...

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) noninvasively images the propagation of mechanical waves within soft tissues. The elastic properties of soft tissues can then be quantified from MRE wave snapshots. Various algorithms have been proposed to obtain their inversion for soft tissue elasticity. Anomalies are assumed to be discernible in the elasticity map. We propose a new elastic level set mode...

Introduction: There is many ways to assessing the electrical conductivity anisotropyof a tumor. Applying the values of tissue electrical conductivity anisotropyis crucial in numerical modeling of the electric and thermal field distribution in electroporationtreatments. This study aims to calculate the tissues electrical conductivityanisotropy in patients with sarcoma tumors using diffusion tens...

BACKGROUND Proper pre-operative facial analysis that includes a thorough evaluation of both the bony and soft tissue anatomy is paramount to success in performing aesthetic surgery of the face. Ethnic variations in soft tissue profile add an important variable to pre-operative facial analysis. The aim of our study was to determine the role of ethnic variations in soft tissue facial profiles th...
