Third Eteocretan Fragment

Displacement of a mandibular third molar root fragment into the pterygomandibular space.

Displacement of root fragments into adjacent anatomical areas is an uncommon complication of the removal of teeth. This paper describes the management of a mandibular third molar root fragment that was forced into the antero-inferior aspect of the pterygomandibular space. The importance of tomographical radiographs in the visualization of the displaced root is also discussed.

The opsonic fragment of the third component of human complement (C3)

Human peripheral blood phagocytes ingest Escherichia coli 026:B6 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-coated paraffin oil droplets containing Oil red O only if fresh serum deposits C3 on the surfaces of the particles (opsonizes them), by reactions involving the properdin system. The rate of binding of purified [125-I]C3 in serum to LPS-coated particles correlated precisely with the rate of acquisition of i...

The Third Domain Ligand Binding Fragment of Alpha-fetoprotein: Detection of Metastasis-associated Molecular Targets

Human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was one of the first biomarkers developed as a cancer biomarker and is still today considered the “gold standard” biomarker for liver cancer. AFP is a glycopolypeptide exhibiting a molecular mass of 69 kD with a 3-5% carbohydrate content [1]. Structurally, the full-length AFP molecule consists of three domains forming nine layers of peptide loops configured by 15 c...

Case Report: Bone fragment in the third ventricle of a 22 year-old woman

Here we present a very rare case of a woman with a bone fragment in the third ventricle of the brain following compound-depressed skull fractures due to a road traffic accident. There are only few case reports of bullets and textiloma being removed from the third ventricle. Following operative removal of the fragment, the patient was started on cortisol, mineralocorticoid and thyroid hormone re...
