Orocutaneous fistula (OCF) of dental origin is a relatively rare condition and continues to be a challenging diagnosis. Misdiagnosis of OCF usually leads to unnecessary and noneffective treatment. A 21-year-old male referred with a complaint of a lesion on the chin which was misdiagnosed as a carbuncle (lesion of nonodontogenic origin) by a physician. After radiological examination, there was a...

This report describes how using the Navier-Stokes equations to numerically calculate a shock wave will more accurately depict a realistic and observed shock wave. Earlier related inviscid shock capturing studies that have attempted to numerically calculate the shock wave and downstream field surrounding a blunt body re-entering the atmosphere have exhibited an instability known as the carbuncle...

To the Editor of "The Indian Medical Gazette." Sir,?I desire to draw attention to the following plant:? The parts used.?The roots?they are black in colour externally, and slightly whitish internally. From a knotty bulb numerous rootlets are given off. Inodorous, tasteless ; this fern abundantly grows in]any part of Bengal and Behar, especially on the bank of rivers and in bamboo hedge. They can...

As a continuous eeort to understand the Godunov-type schemes, following the paper \Projection in this paper we are going to study the gas evolution dynamics of the exact and approximate Riemann solvers. More speciically, the underlying dynamics of Flux Vector Splitting (FVS) and Flux Diierence Splitting (FDS) schemes will be analyzed. Since the FVS scheme and the Kinetic Flux Vector Splitting (...

Folliculitis barbae is a common condition of both infective and non-infectious aetiology. It most frequently presents as a superficial folliculitis, with fine pustules appearing at the opening of hair follicles in the beard area, often associated with shaving; known as Bockhart impetigo and usually due to infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. If untreated, the infection and inflammation ca...

BACKGROUND Conflicting data exist on the role of antimicrobial therapy for the treatment of uncomplicated community-onset methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs). METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of 492 adult patients with 531 independent episodes of community-onset MRSA SSTIs, which consisted of abscesses, furuncles/carbuncl...

BACKGROUND Reynoutria sachalinensis is a well-known and used herbal medicine to treatment of arthralgia, jaundice, amenorrhea, coughs, carbuncles, and sores. OBJECTIVE We have developed high-performance liquid chromatography analysis method for simultaneous determination of isolated four compounds, campesterol, emodin8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin, and isoquercitrin from R. sachalinensis ...

The treatment of MRSA skin and soft tissue infections in adults will be reviewed here. The treatment of invasive MRSA infections, the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, epidemiology of MRSA infection, and general issues related to skin and soft tissue infections are discussed separately. (See "Treatment of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in adults" and "Microbi...

An Unna's paste bandage has been conventional for the treatment of varicose eczema and ulceration for years. With the advent of elastoplast applied in the Dickson Wright method, its use, which was messy, has contracted, but it has continued to be used by those who knew its merits, and also as an alternative dressing for the appreciable percentage of patients intolerant to elastoplast. Thus Unna...
