AIMS Evaluation of dysplasia in long standing ulcerative colitis is a difficult and often subjective task. Therefore, the aim of this study was to search for a more objective parameter to help distinguish regenerative changes from epithelial dysplasia. METHODS A total of 97 sections from colectomy specimens from 12 patients with ulcerative colitis of more than 10 years duration were stained i...

OBJECTIVE Hip arthroscopy in the setting of hip dysplasia is controversial in the orthopaedic community, as the outcome literature has been variable and inconclusive. We hypothesise that outcomes of hip arthroscopy may be diminished in the setting of hip dysplasia, but outcomes may be acceptable in milder or borderline cases of hip dysplasia. METHODS A systematic search was performed in dupli...

Fibrous dysplasia is a common benign skeletal lesion that may involve a single bone or multiple bones. Although fibrous dysplasia can affect any bone, monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the long bone typically occurs in the diaphysis or metaphysis. We report a very rare case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the epiphysis of the distal femur in a young man.

Abstract Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia is a condition that courses with retarded development and may cause joint dysmorphia. We report case of posterior interosseous nerve palsy in child dysplasia. After physical examination complementary diagnostic tests revealed compression neuropathy, surgical neurolysis og the was performed at level arcade Frohse. The satisfactory evolution patient confirme...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To determine the prevalence of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) in a tertiary care center in Lebanon and to compare IT with regional and global data. MATERIALS AND METHODS All esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs) performed between January 2003 and October 2013 at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) were reviewed, and cases of endoscopically suspected esophageal met...

We report a case of distal common bile duct adenoma presenting with acute cholangitis. A 47-year-old woman suffered from right upper abdominal pain with persistent fever for 4 days. Abdominal ultrasonography showed mild dilatation of common bile duct and bilateral intrahepatic ducts. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography disclosed a fixed filling defect in the distal common bile duct. ...

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer can be prevented and mortality/morbidity reduced by early detection and referral. Developing countries are likely to benefit from more cost effective methods of screening and treatment. Visual inspection with acetic acid and Lugol's iodine (VIA/VILI) offers a see and treat solution thus an affordable and efficient way to identify pre-malignant lesions. Immediate treat...

This case report reveals a rare association frontonasal encephalocele, subependymal nodular heterotopias cerebellar dysplasia with review literature. Case presentation Frontonasal encephalocele is entity. We an 18-months-old male child who presented to department pediatrics chief co...

McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a rare sporadic disease characterized by bone fibrous dysplasia, Café au lait spots and a variable association of hyperfunction endocrine disorders. There is not any certain treatment available for this syndrome, and both physical and emotional disability in these patients is still a major concern for physicians. In present report we have described a 10- year-o...

Abstract Background Finite element analysis (FEA) has been previously applied for the biomechanical of acetabular dysplasia and osteotomy. However, until now, there have little reports on use FEA to evaluate effects pelvic tilt stress distribution in acetabulum. Methods We used Mechanical Finder Ver. 7.0 (RCCM, Inc., Japan) construct finite models based 3D-CT data patients, designed dysplasia, ...
