background: the purpose of this study was to investigate of radiographic pattern and relative frequency of idiopathic osteosclerosis (io) and condensing osteitis (co) in panoramic radiographs. materials and methods: totally 411 panoramic radiographies were randomly selected from patients referred to radiology department of faculty of dentistry, tabriz university of medical sciences. descriptive...

between the progression of the disease and SACE activity. Conversely, we recently observed three cases of rapidly progressive pneumoconiosis (CWP, 1 case; silicosis, 2 cases) characterized by very high SACE activity (>mean + 4 units of standard deviation), associated with an increased alveolar lymphocytosis. Evidence of elevated SACE levels in non pneumoconiotic coal miners lead us to suggest t...

Condensing osteitis of the clavicle was first described as a disease entity in 1974. There is painful localised swelling of the clavicle of undetermined origin, with increased radio-density, but an infective aetiology has not been excluded by previous authors. We report three children with the clinical and radiological findings of 'condensing osteitis'. Two of them had raised levels of antistap...

BACKGROUND Osteitis pubis is an aseptic painful inflammatory condition of the symphysis pubis, surrounding muscles, and tendons. It was first described in 1924 in patients who had suprapubic surgery. Inflammation and trauma have been attributed to be causative factors in previous individual case reports and small case series. Osteitis pubis is frequently misdiagnosed and is difficult to treat o...

Osteitis pubis represents a non-infectious inflammation of the pubic symphysis. Although, the disease commonly affects young athletic patients, it is also associated with urologic procedures, obstetrical and gynaecological procedures [1,2]. Pain is usually localized over the pubic symphysis and radiates to the groin, medial thigh or the abdomen. Differentiating with infective pathology of the o...
