INTRODUCTION A hepatic subcapsular hematoma in a neonate shows a non-specific presentation such as the presence of an abdominal mass without symptoms of hemorrhage and is clinically less distinguished as compared to cases detected during an autopsy. CASE PRESENTATION A neonate was delivered by vaginal delivery after 29 weeks and three days gestation with breech presentation. In a laboratory s...

Diaphragmatic injuries are relatively rare and as such frequently missed, particularly if they occur as a rare event on the right-sided dome. Even if detected in the early phase, the concomitant injury of other organs may delay the time to repair. The delay in surgical correction may aggravate additional adherences between thoracic and abdominal organs and cause the diaphragmatic muscle to retr...

The cases of sixty patients in whom a burst fracture of a thoracic or lumbar vertebral body had been treated with posterior instrumentation and arthrodesis less than two weeks after the injury were retrospectively reviewed. Thirty of the patients had an associated laminar fracture. Eleven of the thirty, all of whom had a lumbar fracture and a preoperative neurological deficit, were noted at ope...

Tendons function to transmit loads from muscle to move and stabilize joints and absorb impacts. Functionality of lacerated tendons is diminished, however clinical practice often considers surgical repair only after 50% or more of the tendon is lacerated, the "50% rule." Few studies provide mechanical insight into the 50% rule. In this study cyclic and static stress relaxation tests were perform...

IMAGES However, 48 hours after the operation, she had dyspnea along with subcutaneous emphysema on her shoulder (Fig. 1). Diagnostic bronchoscopy revealed an approximately 1.5-cm-sized vertical tracheal laceration above the carina with split thickness (Fig. 2). She was started on antibiotics, O2 inhalation, expectorants and non-per oral. The emphysema spontaneously resolved. The patient was dis...

There was a partial thickness laceration of the right cornea at the junction of the middle and lower thirds extending in an irregular horizontal line from side to side. From the depth of this laceration the cornea was split to the lower limbus and in the lamellar pocket so formed were embedded multiple fragments of a shattered corneal contact lens. At no point did this lamellar laceration penet...

Themes of Self-Laceration Towards a Modicum of Control in Nineteenth Century Russia as Expressed by Dostoevsky in The Brothers Karamazov The majority of the academic discourse surrounding Dostoevsky and his epic, The Brothers Karamazov, has been directed toward the philosophic and religious implications of his characters. Largely overlooked, however, is the theme of laceration. In the greater s...

As a woman, labor experience could be best memory, but it was also became trauma for them especially perineum laceration. Perineum laceration occurred during process naturally or instrumentally (episiotomy, extraction). caused discomfort and pain heacting process. The fearness affected mother psychology. To minimize the laceration, perineal massage prevent grade II incidence. determined applica...

We report the successful removal of a shoulder fixation pin from the right lobe of the liver with intracorporeal repair of a diaphragmatic laceration. An expeditious workup and urgent operative intervention were required. We adhered to the principles of room setup, optical correctness, establishment of the triangle of success, appropriate instrument entry and convergence angles, two-handed surg...
