Bronchiectasis Treated by Rib Mobilisation (Wilm's)

Intercondylar T-shaped fractures of the humerus. Results in ten cases treated by early mobilisation.

Intercondylar T-shaped fractures of the humerus are caused by a force through the olecranon driving it upwards between the condyles of the humerus. Usually the patient has fallen on to the “point of the elbow”. These injuries are uncommon, and no matter what treatment is used, perfect results are seldom obtained. This paper reports ten severe fractures of this type treated in a collar-and-cuff ...

Unlike most cancers, spread to local lymph node does not worsen the survival rate of PTC, and complete resection of the metastases seems to be important and may have favorable effects on the prognosis. A 33-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with a mass involving the right angulus mandible...
