INTRODUCTION Bochdalek hernia is the most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and constitutes 85% of cases. Bochdalek hernia (BH) in adults is extremely rare. We present a BH case in an adult patient and discuss the literature. PRESENTATION 22-year-old female patient with abdominal pain, occasional cramps, dysphagic problems, constipation, shortness of breath and choking for about ...

DOI: 10.5935/abc.20170051 A 32-year-old female with a 2-year history of chest distress was admitted to our department due to exacerbation for 3 days. On physical examination, we found fixed splitting second heart sounds on the patient’s pulmonic area. An echocardiography was performed and showed a 15-mm atrial septal defect of the inferior vena cava type. After obtaining the patient’s consent, ...

Magnetic attachments have been applied for various prostheses. In this report, a fixed partial denture (FPD) to which a detachable gingiva was connected by magnetic attachment was fabricated to support esthetic recovery of the alveolar bone defect and the maxillary anterior missing teeth. Missing teeth, accompanied with an alveolar bone defect, are generally recovered with a removable denture o...

INTRODUCTION Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a birth defect involving craniofacial structures derived from the first and second branchial arches. Although it is a relatively uncommon malformation, it is the second most common craniofacial birth defect after cleft lip and palate (CL/P). CASE PRESENTATION This is a case report about the successful orthodontic treatment of a patient with mild hem...

Prior studies demonstrate the importance of the relationship between code coverage and defects found to determine the effectiveness of test inputs. The variation of defect coverage with code coverage has been studied for a fixed execution sequence of test cases. We conducted an experiment to evaluate hypotheses expressed in two research questions. The first question addresses the relationship b...

We study a Helmholtz-type spectral problem related to the propagation of electromagnetic waves in photonic crystal waveguides. The waveguide is created by introducing a linear defect into a twodimensional periodic medium; the defect is infinitely extended and aligned with one of the coordinate axes. This perturbation introduces guided mode spectrum inside the band gaps of the fully periodic, un...

This study proposes an effective method to inspect inaccessible nuclear power reactor head nozzles using interface waves that propagate along the shrink fit boundary of a reactor head. The reactor head is relatively thick, which makes it difficult to inspect from the outside by conventional ultrasonic testing. However, interface waves can propagate a long distance from a fixed transducer positi...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has high prevalence with the American Heart Association (AHA) reporting 15.5 million people in USA affected 2016. The presentation vary from asymptomatic to severe symptoms relating ischemia such as chest pain, dyspnea, and hemodynamic instability. Some populations require impor...

For a great number of medical applications the STEM cells offer new possibilities of healing and recovery. The present study uses a number of dogs and rabbits with induced defects at the femoris condylis on the purpose of being implanted with STEM cells in the side area of the knee articulation. The 3D reconstruction of the defect area based on CT scans is presented in the paper. The process of...
