Aspiration of foreign bodies occur in infants and children frequently. Regarding hazards of this important accident that may sometimes lead to death and the necessity of an urgent management, knowledge of nursery instructors on this issue was studied. A questionnaire was designed by the investigators that included questions about methods for removal of foreign bodies and C.P.R and filled by all...

conclusions because this incident may have occurred during the patient’s neonatal period, it may be a case of child abuse. in spite of the very limited number of cases in the literature, having a stepmother, a stepfather, or a babysitter, being the youngest child, or having family members who suffer from psychiatric disorders, (especially if these relatives are responsible for child care), livi...

foreign bodies in lower urinary tract may present in a different number of ways. we report four cases of such unusual presentation. physical examination and plain radiograph was sufficient enough to confirm our diagnosis in all cases. the cases belonged to different age groups and three out of four cases were managed by open surgical approach. one foreign body was removed using cystoscope. prom...

juvenile ossifying fibroma (jof) is a rare, benign, locally aggressive entity of the extragnathic craniofacial bones with a high tendency towards recurrence. two distinctive microscopic patterns of juvenile ossifying fibroma have been described: a trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (trjof) and a psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (pjof). psammomatoid variant is predominantly a craniofac...

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of volumes difference function of the projection and intersection bodies. Following this, we establish the Minkowski and Brunn-Minkowski inequalities for volumes difference function of the projection and intersection bodies.

PURPOSE Interest in neuroprotection for optic neuropathies is, in part, based on the assumption that retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) die, not only as a result of direct (primary) injury, but also indirectly as a result of negative effects from neighboring dying RGCs (secondary degeneration). This experiment was designed to test whether secondary RGC degeneration occurs after orbital optic nerve i...

Simultaneous determinations of DNA content in cell nuclei and condensed chromatin bodies formed by heterochromatized regions of sex chromosomes (gonosomal chromatin bodies, GCB) have been performed in two trophoblast cell populations of the East-European field vole Microtus rossiaemeridionalis: in the proliferative population of trophoblast cells of the junctional zone of placenta and in the se...
