leprosy is an infectious and non-fatal disease that mainly involved skin and peripheral nervous system and caused by mycobacterium lepra. this case is a 41-year-old woman with intermittent nasal bleeding and a mass (1.5×2.5 cm) in the right side of lateral nasal wall and a (1×1 cm) mass on septum in the left side of the nose. considering the probability of intranasal tumor, endoscopic biopsy fo...

introduction: nose morphology depends on gender, ethnicity, and environmental conditions. it can be used in identification of the race and sex of persons whose identity is unknown. nasal index is a useful tool in anthropometry. methods: in this study, nasal parameters of iranian males and females students were measured (nasal height, nasal width, and nasal index). this study was conducted on 20...

OBJECTIVES To identify the major causes and types of dental luxation and avulsion injuries, and their associated factors in primary school children in Hong Kong. DESIGN Case series. SETTING School dental clinic, New Territories, Hong Kong. PATIENTS The dental records of children with a history of dental luxation and/or avulsion injury between November 2005 and October 2012 were reviewed. ...

We recently proposed a new surgical approach to treat ventral root avulsion, resulting in motoneuron protection. The present work combined such a surgical approach with bone marrow mononuclear cells (MC) therapy. Therefore, MC were added to the site of reimplantation. Female Lewis rats (seven weeks old) were subjected to unilateral ventral root avulsion (VRA) at L4, L5 and L6 levels and divided...

This article describes a case of an acute anterior inferior iliac spine apophyseal avulsion fracture in an adolescent athlete progressing to secondary symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement from an inferiorly displaced malunion and its arthroscopic management. A 13-year-old boy with an acute minimally displaced avulsion fracture of the anterior inferior iliac spine apophysis had initial sympt...

INTRODUCTION Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a well known condition, characterized by pain over the tibial tubercle with subsequent tubercle prominence. Avulsion fracture following OSD is a rare complication. We report an unusual case of simultaneous bilateral tibial tubercle avulsion fracture in a 16 year old boy who was a known case of OSD. CASE PRESENTATION A 16 year old boy a known case...

We present a case of avulsion of a large fragment of the ischial tuberosity in an elderly lady, caused by an extreme abduction of the hip. To our knowledge such an injury has not yet been described in the elderly. The decision to operate was based on the reported experience with this injury in young individuals. We assumed that the same indications applied, while also taking into account the kn...

Marginal fractures of the medial tibial plateau have been reported in the literature as a secondary type of Segond fracture. Some reports described this entity in the setting of combined injuries such as root avulsions of the medial meniscus, complete disruption of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and tears of the medial meniscus and m...

This paper has investigated the hypothesis that spinal root avulsion (SRA) injury produces alterations in blood flow that contribute to avulsion injury induced pain-like behaviour in rodents. Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an established way of assessing blood flow in the central nervous system (CNS) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is the most widely used technique for measuring tissue perfusi...
