The aim of this study was to present a case report on pseudarthrosis of the scaphoid tubercle, a pathological condition that affects the young and active population. This entity often develops as a result of failure to make an early diagnosis and a late start to treatment. This report describes the case of a 15-year-old patient with a history of a neglected fracture of the scaphoid tubercle tha...

A new species of Microhyla frog from the Nilphamari district of Bangladesh is described and compared with its morphologically similar and geographically proximate congeners. Molecular phylogeny derived from mitochondrial DNA sequences revealed that although the new species--designated here as Microhyla nilphamariensis sp. nov.--forms a clade with M. ornate, it is highly divergent from M. ornata...

A 16-year-old male had simultaneous bilateral tibial tubercle avulsion fractures after making a sudden stop while running at full speed. The left knee injury (type V) was minimally displaced, was treated conservatively with closed reduction, and the patient recovered uneventfully. The right tibial tubercle injury was unusual. The tuberosity and anterior aspect of the proximal epiphysis remained...

Direct culture on Lowenstein-Jensen slopes and on three media made selective for tubercle bacilli by the addition of four antibacterial agents was compared with guinea-pig inoculation on 490 tissue specimens. Tubercle bacilli were obtained from 15 specimens by culture and 14 by guinea-pig inoculation; only one specimen was positive by guinea-pig and not by culture. The most efficient culture me...

Panstrongylus mitarakaensis n. sp. is described from French Guiana. Morphological characters are provided. This small species, less robust than other Panstrongylus species, shows a pronotum shape similar to species of the "P. lignarius complex". However, others characters such as the postocular part of head, the obsolete tubercle on the anterior lobe of pronotum, and the lateral process on the ...

Hip joint overload injuries usually occur in sports practitioners, and presently, because of advances in diagnostic imaging tests, principally MRI, they are often diagnosed [1,2]. Sher et al. [1] studied group patients referring pain and edema in the region of the iliac tubercle and demonstrated that T2-weighted MRI shows an increase in the iliotibial band (ITB) signal along the lower border of...

Tubercle bacilli, which survived heat fixation, were detected with a slide culture technique which allowed the entire smear to be examined. Both conventional flame fixation and the use of a controlled hot-plate failed to render tuberculous sputum smears safe for further handling. Smears which were stained with the phenol-auramine method failed to yield growth on culture. If delay between prepa...

DEFINITIONS OF THE TERM "QUIESCENT" THE British definiitioni until 1947 was as follows:-"'Cases which have no symptoms of tuberculosis and nio signis of tuberculous disease, except such as are compatible with a completely-healed lesionl, and in wllich sputum, if present, is free from tubercle bacilli." 'I[hle lnew definiition of the Joint 'I'uberculosis Council is: "Cases in which the genieral ...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in identifying anatomical variants of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroidectomies, with emphasis on the nerve's relationship to the inferior thyroid artery (ITA), Zuckerkandl's tubercle, nonrecurrent laryngeal nerves (NRLNs), and extralaryngeal bifurcation. METHODS A total of 128 ...

prolonged employment of chemotherapeutic agents. The last decade was the most brillian period in the history of the battle against tuberculosis by chemotherapy. Streptomycin (SM), paraaminosalicylic acid (PAS), 4-acetylaminobenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (TB1) and isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INAH) have been proved to be effective in the treatment of tuberculosis. Among them, the resistance dev...
