Background  Buccal fat pad is known as anatomic structure in between the masticatory muscles that separate these muscles from each other and surrounding bone. Ease of access, through the intraoral route makes it suitable choice for obtaining adipose derived stem cells. Methods  Intraoral incisions for getting access to the buccal fat of pad are; Retromolar incision, incision in medial of pt...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy and surgical effects of the anterior low small incision and the traditional incision in the treatments of thyroid adenomas. METHODS Eighty cases of thyroid adenoma patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. Forty patients in the control group received the traditional incision, whereas the experimental group receive...

INTRODUCTION To determine if the upper part of the lower segment of the uterus is a better site for cesarean incision then the traditionally used lower end. METHODS This is a case-control study (1:1 ratio) conducted from 1(st) October 2012- 30(th) September 2013 observed between transverse incision at the upper part of the lower segment versus traditional lower segment of the uterus. Two hund...

Optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), circular dichroism (CD), ultraviolet absorption, the fluorescence of troponin, tropomyosin, and relaxing protein were used as probes to detect structural changes resulting from the binding of troponin with tropomyosin to form a complex called relaxing protein. In the wave length region from 250 to 190 nm, ORD and CD spectra show that all the apparent band posi...

Pain in early life can enhance the response to subsequent injury, but effects are influenced by both the nature and timing of neonatal injury. Using plantar hindpaw incision, we investigated how postnatal age influences the response to repeat surgical injury two weeks later. The degree and time course of behavioural changes in mechanical withdrawal threshold were measured, and injury-related hy...

BACKGROUND Descending influences from the rostral medial medulla (RMM) contribute to secondary hyperalgesia in persistent inflammatory, neuropathic, and visceral pain models. The current study examined if descending inhibition or facilitation from the RMM modulates primary and secondary hyperalgesia after incision in the rat hind limb. METHODS Bilateral RMM lesions were produced using the som...

Chronic inflammation occurs when factors that regulate the process of leucocyte recruitment are disrupted, and it is dependent on recruitment, activation, and retention of lymphocytes within tissue microenvironments. The molecular mechanisms that mediate lymphocyte adhesion to vascular endothelial cells have been described by several groups, but the signals involved in the recruitment of lympho...

purpose : to introduce a small incision technique of fascia lata (fl) harvesting for frontalis suspension blepharoptosis procedure. methods : a skin incision was made in a line between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the anterior superior iliac crest, starting 4- 5 cm above the knee and extending upward 2- 2.5 cm . approximately 8 cm superior to the first incision, a second skin incision w...

Background: The endothelium-derived relaxing factor that mediates the actions of acetylcholine is now most frequently identified as nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is believed to have numerous important regulating actions in neurons, blood vessels, and several other biological systems. Summary of Review: The literature concerning tissue other than cerebral blood vessels supports the conclusion that ...
