background: breast implant associated anaplastic large t- cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-hodgkin lymphoma, with a reported incidence of 0.3% per 100,000 women with breast prosthesis per year. it presents most commonly as a peri-implant seroma, but may also present as a capsular mass, tumor erosion through skin, in a regional lymph node, or found incidentally during revision surgery. case p...

great prosthesis for reinforcement of visceral sac is a guranteed operation for unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernias in otil patients or recurrent cases. the greatest use of this technique is in the patients who are at specially high risk for recurrence. we successfully accomplished this technique in 70 cases in our hospital while the patients were countiniously under our close inspection f...

AbstractIntroduction Silicone gel breast implants are used for breast reconstruction post mastectomy. In the event of cancer recurrence, the radiation oncologists are forced to irradiate through the prosthesis device. Due to prosthesis higher atomic number dose perturbations occur during treatment. This study determined the influence of silicone gel thickness on the photon beam distribution. Ma...

the finite element method (fem) is one of advanced methods in modeling of solid mechanics used in the design and analyzing of prosthesis in the human body. one of the important factors in designing a femur (the linkage between basin and knee) which is under complicated stresses is to minimize the amount of the stress in the components of the prosthesis due to the body weight. in this research t...

Management of low-grade chondrosarcomas secondary to Ollier's disease is generally radical. We report here a case of conservative treatment of a knee tumor with reconstruction of the lower femoral extremity with a hinged total knee prosthesis, cemented and coupled with a massive femoral allograft, with a twelve-year follow-up.

BACKGROUND Limb salvage following resection of a tumor in the proximal part of the humerus poses many challenges. Reconstructive options are limited because of the loss of periarticular soft-tissue stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint in addition to the loss of bone and articular cartilage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome and survival of the reconstruction foll...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the outcome of prostheses on speech rehabilitation of mandibulectomy patients. METHODS Eleven patients (6 males and 5 females) who underwent mandibulectomy without glossectomy because of a tumor participated in the study. A Speech Intelligibility (SI) test was applied without and with a prosthesis to evaluate their speec...
