Connective tissue massage (CTM) is a manipulative technique that facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of pathologies. Observation and subsequent manipulation of the skin and subcutaneous tissues can have a beneficial effect upon tissues remote from the area of treatment. These effects appear to be mediated by neural reflexes that cause an increase in blood flow to the affecte...

T he following comments pertain to " Biophysical characteristics of hyaluronic acid soft-tissue fillers and their relevance to aesthetic applications " by Sundaram and Cas-suto 1 and " Cohesive polydensified matrix hyaluronic acid for fine lines " by Sundaram and Fagien. 2 According to the authors' conceptualization, definition of " superficial flow volumetry " is " soft, spreading filler that ...

Light and electron microscopy of resorbing connective tissues have shown that the collagen fibers and fibrils disappear. It is usually presumed that resorbed collagen is degraded proteolytically to hydroxyproline-containing peptides and to free amino acids, including hydroxyproline. We wish to present evidence that collagen can be resorbed and then reutilized without such breakdown. Urinary exc...

Hamman's syndrome is a rare condition represented by spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema. Excessive Valsalva maneuver during vaginal delivery and excessive retching, coughing, and straining are frequently reported causes. The incidence of Hamman's syndrome is believed to be 1 in 100,000 deliveries. The pathophysiology of this condition is rupture of alveoli and seepage of a...

The importance of ascorbic acid for the metabolism of connective tissue substances, especially collagen, has been established by numerous investigators, using morphologic criteria (1). However, there have been few biochemical studies of this function of ascorbic acid with the exception of the recent analyses of Elster (2) and Robertson (3), which demonstrated that the maintenance of preformed c...

Intracanal medications are fundamental for disinfection of the root canal system and participate in periapical repair, so their biocompatibility is of utmost importance to avoid tissue damage. This study evaluated the biocompatibility of a experimental paste of calcium hydroxide and propolis in the subcutaneous tissue of rats. The study was conducted on 15 male Wistar rats. Two incisions were m...

Subcutaneous emphysema is a relatively rare complication of dental treatment, although increasingly due to the use of high pressure air instruments. Many cases go unrecognized or are misdiagnosed. Majority of patients with this complication resolve spontaneously after 5 to 10 days, however some can advance to potentially life-threatening complications. A case of subcutaneous emphysema during re...

In this case report, a female adult red fox (Vulpes vulpes) found exhausted by the villagers in rural area of Eskişehir constituted study material. A rare myiasis disease was diagnosed Red Fox who examined Surgery Clinic Veterinary Health Application and Research Center. Myiasis is clinically important condition that can lead to wide variety diseases caused fly larvae. under consideration, mult...

The heating degree of the inner layers tumor tissue is an important parameter required to optimize plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPT). This study reports optical properties transplanted cholangiocarcinoma and covering tissues in rats without treatment (control group) after PPT using gold nanorods (experimental group). was carried out for 15 min, temperature on skin surface reached 54.8 ± 1.6 ...
