Background: Rib osteomyelitis is a very rare form of pediatric osteomyelitis. Case report: Herein, we reported a very rare case of chest wall abscess with rib osteomyelitis and rib destruction due to Staphylococcus aureus infection in a 14-day-old preterm male neonate. The diagnosis of this uncommon disease requires a high index of suspicion due to its rarity and non-specific clinical presenta...

Bone scan abnormalities, especially rib lesions, are often confusing for physicians due to a high number of false-positive lesions. This study investigated risk factors that are associated with bone metastasis in 613 breast cancer patients with bone scan abnormalities. Significantly increased rates of bone metastasis were observed in patients with multiple lesions, large tumor sizes, and lymph ...

The paper presents the possibility of using ultrasonography in the diagnosis of a congenital rib anomaly in the form of bifid rib. Bifid rib is a rare congenital abnormality of anterior chest wall. It manifests as a chest "lump." Such lesions are detected during a routine physical examination or chest X-ray which is often performed for other reasons. The overall prevalence of bifid rib is estim...

A primary giant cell tumor of the rib is very rare. The most common site of a giant cell tumor arising from the rib is the posterior arc. A giant cell tumor arising from the anterior arc of the rib is extremely rare. The treatment of a giant cell tumor of the rib is not well defined. Generally, a complete surgical resection is performed in a patient with a primary giant cell tumor of the rib. W...

objective(s) sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia. haemoglobin s containing red blood cells may be susceptible to oxidative stress due to imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species and the countering effect of the various antioxidants present in the body. materials and methods we evaluated some antioxidant enzymes which include gluta...

BACKGROUND Rib fractures have a strong association with nonaccidental trauma (NAT) and severe trauma. The purposes of this study were to evaluate rib fractures in children to determine (1) the positive predictive value of a rib fracture in defining NAT and (2) the frequency of rib fractures as the only skeletal manifestation of NAT. METHODS We reviewed the medical records and imaging of all c...

In this study, the finite element model of long, thin and flexible carbon fiber reinforced composite cover design prepared using Unigraphics NX program CAD module was analyzed in ANSYS program. Topography optimization performed by transferring analysis results to GENESIS The rib created after combined with initial necessary corrections were made based on topography guide. design, conventional m...

injuries suffered in vehicle traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among children in many countries. prevention of injuries of children in raod accidents is still a challenge. the present lecture discuss the commonly injuried body regions in children involved in motor and non-motor vehicle traffic crashes. head, ribs and lung are commonly injured body regions among children under 8 yea...

This study determined whether there is a logical point of value change, related to either tenderness or consumer acceptance, at which to separate the beef carcass within the rib/chuck region. Rib/chuck rolls (RCR); (n = 30) consisting of the ribeye roll and chuck eye roll subprimals (2nd through 12th rib locations) were cut into 22 steaks each (two steaks per rib location), and Warner-Bratzler ...
