background and objectives: gingival and periodontal diseases are associated with specific bacterial infections. the main aim of the study was to know whether the periodontitis is associated with an increased risk for acute myocardial infarction (ami) and to know the distribution of porphyromonas gingivalis in patients with acute myocardial infarction associated with chronic periodontitis and ac...

Serum IgE and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. The levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. The immunological method used for the determinations was ELISA Patients with myocardial infarction showed an...

traumatic brain injury is a common entity. however cerebral infarction in infants is a rare entity while the diagnosis of this pathology in the pediatric population is usually difficult. the mild head trauma is rarely accompanied by intracranial injury and even less, with cerebral infarction. we herein report the first case of cerebral infarction after a mild brain trauma in a 2-year-old latin-...

idiopathic or spontaneous segmental infarction of omentum is a rare disease producing acute abdominal emergency. this rare entity is in a small group of abdominal emergencies with circulatory compromise. infarction could be caused by omental torsion which could be due to adhesion of a previouse surgery or it could be spontaneous. less than 150 cases of idiopathic segmental infarction of omentum...

conclusions a significant proportion of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in cadavers with confirmed acute myocardial infarction were detected to be infected with cytomegaloviruses while no infections of c. pneumoniae and h. pylori were detected. patients and methods sixty cadavers in two equal groups were analyzed. acute myocardial infarction group included cadavers with acute myocardial infarc...

Posttraumatic cerebral infarction is a rare complication and is an indicator of poor clinical outcome of head-trauma in spite of appropriate medical and surgical interventions. Cerebellar infarction following head trauma is also very rare and only a few reported cases are available in literatures. A 2-year-old child sustained head injury in a car accident and underwent surgery because of cerebr...

orofacial pain can arise from different regions and etiologies. some of the most debilitating pain conditions arise from the structures innervated by the trigeminal system (head, face, masticatory musculature, temporomandibular joint and associated structures). the problem with referred pain is the misdiagnosis and unnecessary therapy directed to the pain location instead of its origin. when cr...
