The pathology of salmonellosis after a faeco-oral transmission was first clearly described by Jenner in 1850. Over the years, the pathological manifestations in different tissues of the body have been described. The ileum is however mostly involved leading to enlarged Peyer’s patches, ulceration, and sometimes bleeding and perforation. Efforts at control have largely been improvement in public ...

INTRODUCTION In the last decade, there has been an increasing use of cartilage grafts in the primary repair of tympanic membrane perforations. The major advantages of cartilage are its stiffness and its very low metabolic requirements, which make it particularly suitable for difficult conditions, such as subtotal perforations, adhesive otitis and reoperation. OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact o...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS  Perforation is one of the worst complications of therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We aimed to study the epidemiology of ERCP related perforation and the impact of completion of intended procedure on the outcome of this complication. METHODS  ERCP records from January 2007 to April 2012 were independently evaluated by two investigators for...

INTRODUCTION Furcal perforations are one of the most challenging causes of endodontic failures. Several materials including MTA have been used for non surgical repair of these perforations. The aim of this study was to compare treatment outcome of furcal perforation treatment in primary molars using Root MTA and ProRoot MTA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This in vitro study was conducted on 54 primar...

Spontaneous perforations of the biliary tract are rare in adults and even more so during pregnancy. Perforation of the gall bladder is a potentially fatal complication of cholecystitis. The infrequency of perforation in the setting of calculous disease of the gall bladder is probably due to the thickened wall of the organ that has long been the seat of chronic inflammation. Common bile duct per...

Giant peptic perforation is a life threatening surgical emergency with high mortality, but literature is silent on the exact definition, incidence, management and complications of giant perforations of peptic ulcers. The present study is a retrospective study comparing efficacy of omental plugging and omental patch in the repair of giant peptic perforation (≥2cm in diameter). This study was und...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the accuracy of conventional intraoral (CI) radiography, photostimulable phosphor (PSP) radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for detection of strip and root perforations in endodontically treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesial and distal roots of 72 recently extracted molar were endodonticall...

BACKGROUND Non-traumatic ileal perforation is a common cause of obscure peritonitis in developing and underdeveloped world. The perforation of the ileum is one of the causes of peritonitis that is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The objective of the study was to determine the increasing frequency of cases of non-traumatic ileal perforations and their subsequent management METHODS This d...

We study the Poisson equation in a perforated domain with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The size of perforations is denoted by ε > 0, and proportional to distance between neighbouring perforations. In periodic case, homogenized problem (obtained limit → 0) well understood (see (Rocky Mountain J. Math. 10 (1980) 125–140)). extend these results non-periodic case which defined as l...

The successful handling of esophageal perforations has changed considerably during the past decade. Prior to 1940, esophageal perforation, regardless of the etiology involved, carried with it a fearful morbidity and unless surgical drainage was immediately instituted, a dependable mortality. In the recent literature, however, there have appeared several articles setting forth a newer concept re...
