Violation of reparative regeneration of bone tissue in treatment of open fractures is an urgent problem [1,2]. The frequency of unsatisfactory results of the treatment of these fractures remains high (30%) [3]. The main factors of bone regeneration disorders in conditions of open fractures are following: damage to soft tissue, soft tissue tropism violation, violation of bone trophic and infecti...

extramedullary plasmacytoma (emp) is a rare neoplasm of soft tissue which usually arises in the respiratory tract, nasal cavity, sinuses and nasopharynx. multiple extramedullary plasmacytomas are extremely rare, especially those that are not associated with multiple myeloma.we describe multiple primary emp in a 37 year old man, without involvement of bone or bone marrow. emp usually has a good ...

BACKGROUND The radiographic evaluation of the response to preoperative chemotherapy for bone and soft tissue sarcomas is based mostly on the change in primary tumor size before and after chemotherapy, as is done for many solid cancers. Its prognostic correlation, however, has hardly been validated. METHODS We conducted a retrospective validation study of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (...

Quantitative analysis of bone composition is necessary for the accurate diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic bone diseases. Accurate assessment of the bone mineralization state is the first requirement for a comprehensive analysis. In diagnostic imaging, x-ray coherent scatter depends upon the molecular structure of tissues. Coherent-scatter computed tomography (CSCT) exploits this feature to ...

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...

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...

Background and Aim: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) and ossifying fibroma (OF) are the most important fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) of the jaws with similarities in radiographic and morphological features while showing completely different biological behavior. Limited studies have been evaluated immunohistochemistry markers, such as osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin to help differentiate these two lesion...

In this study characteristics and distribution of primary bone and soft tissue tumors which were operated in Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology between January 2000 and December 2016 and comparison with the literature is aimed. Our study is retrospective and descriptive and 710 patients [275 M, 435 F, mean age: 30,67 (1-92)] who hospitalized ...

introduction: lasers have made tremendous progress in the field of dentistry and have turned out to be crucial in oral surgery as collateral approach for soft tissue surgery. this rapid progress can be attributed to the fact that lasers allow efficient execution of soft tissue procedures with excellent hemostasis and field visibility. when matched to scalpel, electrocautery or high frequency de...

Severe vertical ridge deficiency in the anterior maxilla represents one of the most challenging clinical scenarios in the bone regeneration arena. As such, a combination of vertical bone augmentation using various biomaterials and soft tissue manipulation is needed to obtain successful outcomes. The present case series describes a novel approach to overcome vertical deficiencies in the anterior...
