sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that is characterized with noncaseating granulomatous nodules which present in multiple organs specially lungs (90%) . incidence of masses due to sarcoidosis in upper extremity is low and most cases present in association with involvement of pulmonary hilary lymph nodes. in this article we present a rare case of sarcoidosis which presented as a single soft tiss...

Attachment of dissimilar materials is a major challenge because high levels of localized stress may develop at their interfaces. An effective biologic solution to this problem exists at one of nature's most extreme interfaces: the attachment of tendon (a compliant, structural "soft tissue") to bone (a stiff, structural "hard tissue"). The goal of our study was to develop biomechanical models to...

This article focuses on the topic of structural design surgical radioactive surgery robot for prostate cancer. To improve weight-to-payload ratio end-effector, energy consumption and stability joint drive reducing displacement deformation needle insertion in soft tissue. discusses new static torque balancing method multi-needle tissue stabilization mechanisms that may be used previously articul...

In cases of an immediate insertion and loading of implants after a traumatic loss of the patient's own dentition or due to an inevitable extraction of an anterior tooth, it is essential to provide the patient with an adequate provisional crown. A soft-tissue recession must be avoided, whether it is due to a compression of the peri-implant soft-tissue caused by an over-dimensioned restoration in...

PURPOSE With the significance of stable adhesion of alveolar bone and peri-implant soft tissue on the surface of titanium for successful dental implantation procedure, the purpose of this study was to apply microgrooves on the titanium surface and investigate their effects on peri-implant cells and tissues. METHODS Three types of commercially pure titanium discs were prepared; machined-surfac...

In image-guided percutaneous interventions, a precise planning of the needle path is a key factor to a successful intervention. In this paper we propose a novel method for computing a patient-specific optimal path for such interventions, accounting for both the deformation of the needle and soft tissues due to the insertion of the needle in the body. To achieve this objective, we propose an opt...

Soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons integrate with bone through a fibrocartilaginous interface divided into noncalcified and calcified regions. This junction between distinct tissue types is frequently injured and not reestablished after surgical repair. Its regeneration is also limited by a lack of understanding of the structure-function relationship inherent at this complex interface. ...

Purpose We present here a simulator for interventional radiology focusing on percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). This procedure consists of inserting a needle into the biliary tree using fluoroscopy for guidance. Methods The requirements of the simulator have been driven by a task analysis. The three main components have been identified: the respiration, the real-time X-ray display...

The accessory soleus muscle is an uncommon anatomical variant. It usually manifests as ankle pain and swelling or asymptomatic soft-tissue mass along the posterior medial aspect of ankle. In a few cases, it sometimes misdiagnosed mesenchymal lesion. idea this case report was to highlight existence mistaken tumor on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). A 32-year-old male patient presented ort...
