Airway and respiratory complications are the most common causes of morbidity during general anesthesia in children. The airway changes in size, shape and position throughout its development from the neonate to the adult (1). Knowledge of the functional anatomy of the airway in children forms the basis of understanding the pathological conditions that may occur. This in turn allows a comprehensi...

Over a century ago, as a Lecturer in Medicine and Pathological Anatomy, Edward Long Fox had sound ideas about medical education in advance of his time. He took a personal interest in his pupils, guiding their studies, frequently asking them to his home, and he sometimes gave them standard works on medicine. He himself tried to keep up-to-date, even reading books and journals whilst in his carri...

Recent advances in noninvasive imaging technology now allow us to simultaneously investigate cardiovascular anatomy, soft tissue characteristics, and disease activity as pathological processes occur in the body. Moreover, this can be performed at different anatomic locations so that the interplay between different organ systems can be interrogated. This offers us a powerful tool with which to i...

capillary forms (Robbins, 1963). Thrombosis of the cavernous spaces and any stage of organization of the thrombi may be present. Some degree of fibrosis is usual and calcification can occur as was seen in our patient on radiological examination. Considering the pathological anatomy of a haemangioma, it is possible to surmise that red-cell fragmentation could occur in such a situation as a resul...

INTRODUCTION The development of various catheter-based therapies for valvular heart disease has provided less invasive, durable treatment options for certain selected groups of patients particularly young patients with uncomplicated rheumatic mitral stenosis (1,2). In these patients, results have been similar to those obtained with closed mitral commissurotomy operation (3,4). However, in many ...

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumors. Its origin is controversial as well as its true malignant potential. A case of an advanced CEOT associated with an impacted right second molar in the mandible of a young black female patient is presented. Computed tomography imaging, radiographic...

When brainstem death was formally defined by the Conference of Medical Royal Colleges and their Faculties in the UK in 1976, a concept, as well as a description of a pathological process, was introduced into medical practice. This article describes core anatomy, pathophysiology of brain injury, the process of testing within the current guidelines and briefly explores the ethical and legal issue...
