IJMDS ● www.ijmds.org ● July 2017; 6(2) 1558 Case Report Perforation repair using biodentine: A nobel approach Mukherjee M, Shekhawat K   ABSTRACT Root perforations are one of the many consequences of compromised endodontic procedure. It not only poses a significant problem in treatment outcome but also greatly affects the prognosis if not repaired in time. If it occurs, it allows microbial i...

Multiple stones, a periampullary diverticulum, and advanced patient age are factors that contribute to difficulty in stone removal [1]. We were able to completely remove the bile duct stones in a 93-year-old woman with a periampullary diverticulum, multiple stones (about 100), and common bile duct of 35mm in diameter using the large-balloon occupation technique (LBOT). The patient visited our h...

A 76-year old man presented with stricture of bulbar urethra for which he underwent urethral dilatation and was advised to perform self urethral dilatation. Four months later he noticed an ulcerative lesion over glans penis and its biopsy revealed a verrucous carcinoma. This was managed by partial penectomy. The resection margins were free of tumor. Two months following surgery, the patient aga...

We are reporting a case of a 80-year-old lady with effort angina who underwent coronary angiography through the right radial artery, using a dedicated radial multipurpose 5 French Optitorque Tiger catheter. The catheter was advanced into the left ventricle and a left ventriculogram was obtained, while the catheter appeared optimally placed at the centre of the ventricle and the pressure wavefor...

A 58-year-old man presented to our outpatient department with a history of haematuria and fever. He was a known case of chronic renal failure (CRF). On examination, both the kidneys were palpable. Ultrasound revealed features suggestive of ADPKD with left hydronephrosis. A left-sided percutaneous nephrostomy was done. Nephrostogram revealed complete cut-off at the pelvi-ureteric junction. Abdom...

BACKGROUND An endoleak is a common complication following EVAR. Specifically, a Type 2 endoleak occurs because of retrograde flow from lumbar vessels outside the endograft within the aneurysm sac. Even though it is common following EVAR, it has not been identified as a complication following open ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. REPORT A 73-year-old male underwent open repair ...

BACKGROUND Augmentation of collateral flow is proposed as a method to reduce ischemic injury in the posterior circulation. However, collateral formation in basilar artery stenosis (BAS) and basilar artery occlusion (BAO) has not been studied thoroughly. METHODS We identified 24 consecutive patients admitted over a 4-year period with angiographically demonstrated BAS of more than 50% or occlus...

INTRODUCTION Congenital renal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are very rare benign lesions. They are more common in women and rarely manifest in elderly people. In some cases they present with massive hematuria. Contemporary treatment consists of transcatheter selective arterial embolization which leads to resolution of the hematuria whilst preserving renal parenchyma. CASE PRESENTATION A ...

Apical extracellular matrix filling the lumen controls the morphology and geometry of epithelial tubes during development, yet the regulation of luminal protein composition and its role in tube morphogenesis are not well understood. Here we show that an endosomal-retrieval machinery consisting of Rab9, retromer and actin nucleator WASH (Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein and SCAR Homolog) regulat...

Recent studies indicate that the cognitive processes mediated by the prefrontal cortex, such as working memory, are impaired during normal aging. These disturbances in cortical function may be a consequence of abnormalities in neocortical circuits, even though the numbers of cortical neurons are preserved in normal aging. We performed retrograde tract-tracing of cortical projections connecting ...
