Objectives: Different theories have been suggested to define factors involved in skeletal and craniofacial morphology. Many of these theories explain that the bone morphology is the result of the bone tissue capability to adapt in response to biomechanical forces exerted during growth. Also, it seems logical to hypothesize that there is a relationship between biomechanical connections of muscle...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic efficacy of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) as a new and rapid examination technique with skeletal scintigraphy for detection of skeletal metastases from solid tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 129 patients with solid malignant tumors, WB-MRI was performed for individual comparison with skeletal scintigraphy. Examination...

Background: Though studies have been conducted on the PowerScope, not many researches are available in literature which compare its effects with other fixed functional appliances. Therefore, aim of our study was cephalometric evaluation and comparison skeletal, dentoalveolar, soft tissue changes brought about by Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device PowerScope appliance. Materials Methods: Pre Posttr...

Fetal rhabdomyomas (RM) are extremely rare benign mesenchymal tumours that occur primarily in the head and neck.This tumour exhibits immature skeletal muscle differentiation. The patients’ median age is four years and surgical resectionis the recommended treatment.Fetal RM of limbs are rare and not well described in the literature and if, predominantly in form of case reports. We reportthe seco...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer has been the subject of many recent studies because it is a significant cause of death in women. This study was performed to clarify whether solitary skeletal metastasis has clinical significance compared with multiple skeletal metastasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven hundred and three patients who developed metastatic bone lesions up to September 2002 after beginning t...
