Background The eruption pattern of temporary and permanent teeth are fairly constant with the growing age. So the age determination of an individual by examination of teeth is one of the accepted methods in legal system. A review of the literature shows there are differences in eruption pattern between different populations mainly due to variations in the constitutions and environment, so highl...

Canine forced eruption comprises one among a number of procedures that can be used in orthodontic treatment to ensure that cuspids are positioned in the dental arch in normal esthetic and functional conditions. Canine forced eruption should be characterized as an orthodontic movement. Unfortunately, in discussions of clinical orthodontic practice some professionals are reluctant to indicate ort...

Eruption clouds in explosive volcanic eruptions are a kind of free boundary shear flow with very high Reynolds numbers (Re > 10), and their dynamics are governed by entrainment of ambient air into eruption clouds by turbulent mixing. We developed a numerical pseudo-gas model of an eruption cloud by employing three-dimensional coordinates, a high-order accuracy scheme, and a fine grid size in or...

BACKGROUND Although the American Association of the Surgery for Trauma Organ Injury Scale is the gold standard for staging renal trauma, it does not address characteristics of perirenal hematomas that may indicate significant hemorrhage. Angiographic embolization has become well established as an effective method for achieving hemostasis. We evaluated two novel radiographic indicators--perirena...

Background: Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) heterogeneity on NCCT, characterized by qualitative and quantitative methods, is predictive of hematoma expansion and mortality however association with the spot sign is not well-described. We sought to validate and determine the association between qualitative and quantitative hematoma heterogeneity with expansion and the spot sign, respectively...

BACKGROUND Device implant pocket hematoma is a recognized complication after permanent pacemaker (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Pocket hematoma is associated with local discomfort, an increased risk of infection, and may require surgical intervention or lead to lengthier hospital stays. The purpose of the study was to identify the clinical factors associated...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early hematoma growth is not uncommon in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and is an independent predictor of poor functional outcome. The purpose of our study was to report and validate the use of our newly identified computed tomographic (CT) blend sign in predicting early hematoma growth. METHODS Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent baseline CT s...

OBJECTIVE Frameless stereotactic aspiration of a hematoma can be the one of the treatment options for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia. Postoperative hematoma enlargement, however, can be a serious complication of intracranial surgery that frequently results in severe neurological deficit and even death. Therefore, it is important to identify the risk factors of postope...

cosmetic procedure. A hematoma is a well known complication, usually during the first three postoperative days (1, 2). Late complications commonly include capsular contracture and rupture, but a hematoma is extremely rare. A breast hematoma can be caused by blunt trauma, such as a seat belt injury during a traffic accident, but it is also a rare presentation (3). We report a case of late hemato...

Although some intracerebral hematomas have been known to increase in size chronically and produce delayed neurological deficits, the mechanism of hematoma expansion is not well understood. The authors present a case of a head injured patient with coexistence of a chronic intracerebral hematoma and an ipsilateral chronic subdural hematoma that expanded chronically showing clinical deterioration,...
