Vitality of dental pulp is essential for long-term tooth survival. The aim of vital pulp therapy is to maintain healthy pulp tissue by eliminating bacteria from the dentin-pulp complex. There are several different treatment options for vital pulp therapy in extensively decayed or traumatized teeth. Pulp capping or pulpotomy procedures rely upon an accurate assessment of the pulp status, and car...

tally discovered during screening esopha− gogastroduodenoscopy in a 72−year−old woman. The polyp, located in the second portion of the duodenum, had a long stalk and a large head. Its removal was consid− ered to be technically demanding be− cause the head of the polyp occluded the lumen of the duodenum, making it diffi− cult to maneuver the snare over the polyp. The stalk part of the polyp, how...

background: abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presentation of uterine abnormalities among premenopausal and postmenopausal women. objective: to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of saline contrast sonohysterography and hysteroscopy for detecting the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. materials and methods: a total of 65 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were enrolled in this ...

Hairy polyp is a rare, benign tumor that frequently localizes in the nasopharynx and oropharynx. The embryogenesis of hairy polyp is not known precisely. The clinical profile can vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. In this report, we present a case with hairy polyp who was admitted with acute otitis media and completely recovered after spontaneous autoamputation.

postpolypectomy bleeding and perforation are the major complications of colonoscopy. this report presents a rare case of colon obstruction immediately after colonoscopy. a 56-year-old man underwent colonoscopy because of 6 months lower abdominal pain. colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis and multiple small sessile polyps in sigmoid colon. biopsy samples were taken from the polyps and the procedu...

BACKGROUND Brunner's gland hamartoma is a rare tumor, predominantly found in the fifth to sixth decades of life. Generally, it is a single pedunculated polyp, rarely larger than 5 cm. Asymptomatic cases are found incidentally, but cases with a large polyp tend to have gastrointestinal bleeding and/or obstructive symptoms. Polyp size increases in a time-dependent manner, however, the growth mech...

pharyngeal teratomas are rare. we present a mature solid teratoma (so called “hairypolyp”) involving naso- and oro- pharynx in a female infant who presented with a gradually enlarging mass at the roof of the mouth since birth. the pharyngeal mass was protruding into the mouth through a palatine defect present posteriorly which was removed completely. subsequently she developed malposed anterior...

Choanal polyps are a form of nasal polyps that grow toward the choana with a single stalk. Septochoanal polyp is a rare entity that originates from the mucosa of the nasal septum with choanal extension. The most common site of its origin is mainly the superior aspect of the posterior portion of the nasal septum. However, metaplastic ossification is a rare event in nasal polyp and to the best of...

ABSTRACT - Vermicomposting with pomegranate pulp can not only prevent pollution of the environment but can also create jobs, generate added value and prevent the waste of energy and the country's capital. This factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design. The first factor (a) in two levels contained neutralized pomegranate pulp with lime and non-neutralized pulp. The sec...
