Bronchial atresia is a rare pulmonary anomaly characterized by a blindly-terminating bronchus, mucoid impaction, and hyperinflation of the obstructed segment of the lung.1 Chest radiographic findings typically show mucoid impaction, segmental overinflation, and hypovascularity, although most patients do not have any respiratory symptoms.1,2 We herein present 2 cases of bronchial atresia with un...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Gallstone impaction at the ampulla of Vater is a critical condition, and the standard treatment is endoscopic papillotomy. However, the clinical features remain largely unclear, and some patients are reluctant to undergo papillotomy because of a bleeding tendency. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical features of gallstone impaction at the ampulla of Vater ...

background: the patterns of facial growth, jaw and tooth size are inherited and are likely to differ among population and races. aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the pattern of third molar (3m) impaction among three different ethnic groups (chinese, indian, malay) of patients attending aimst dental institute, malaysia. materials and methods: dental records and orthopantomographs of ...

The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of revision of the femoral component of a total hip replacement using impaction bone grafting. Femoral revision with an impacted allograft was performed on 29 patients (31 hips). In all, 21 hips (68%) had grade III or IV femoral defects according to the Endo-Klinik classification. A total of 1...

Introdouction: Impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to asses...

an 8-month-old female thoroughbred foal was presented showing signs of colic. the foal was anxious,exhibiting signs of abdominal pain and distention. the foal had tachycardia (120 beats/min), tachypnea (40breaths/min). blood samples obtained for haematologic and serum biochemistry analysis that showed a pcvof 30% and a tpp of 70 g/l. the peritoneal fluid analysis revealed a clear fluid with mil...

The accidental aspiration of a foreign body is a frequent domestic accident among children but a rare occurrence in adults. The laryngeal impaction of a coin is an unusual accident; only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Diagnosis is mostly achieved by clinicoradiological examinations. The authors report an uncommon case of laryngeal impaction of a coin in a 21-year-old patient,...

Ruminal impaction is considered an important internal disease in ruminants, such as dairy cows, sheep, and goats. It has been reported that its occurrence is associated with many different causes. This study describes a novel case of ruminal impaction caused by a plant, Ficus esquiroliana Levl., in Boer goats. This case suggests that Ficus esquiroliana should be taken into consideration when pr...

Impacted morsellised allografts have been used successfully to address the problem of poor bone stock in revision surgery. However, there are concerns about the transmission of pathogens, the high cost and the shortage of supply of donor bone. Bone-graft extenders, such as tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA), have been developed to minimise the use of donor bone. In a human cadav...
