conclusions our data has provided baseline information about epidemiologic aspects of oral mucosal lesions which can be valuable in organized national program targeting on oral health and hygiene in the society. results the prevalence of mucosal lesions in our study was 19.4%. our data demonstrated higher prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in males and young adults (30-40 years). the most commo...

  Metastatic survey of the patients with known primary malignancies with bone scan is one of the most common studies in nuclear medicine. Unfortunately the conventional planar bone scan has a very low specificity for differentiating benign from malignant lesions especially in the spinal column. In this study, we compared the specificity of SPECT imaging and convention...

Introduction: As a result of aging process, oral mucosa becomes susceptible to oral diseases. Having knowledge about prevalence and distribution of geriatric oral diseases is essential for prevention and treatment planning. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of geriatric patients’ oral biopsies in specimens obtained in medical centers of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. Methods:...

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by certain filamentous microscopic fungi, which occur naturally in the environment and may persist in animal feed. A mycotoxin contaminated diet may lead to feed refusal, poor feed conversion, diminished body weight gain and causes pathological effects associated with gross and histological changes, which are responsible for great economical losses....

A total 363 lesions (277 86 occluded lesions) 146 patients were enrolled analyzed retrospectively; these included 130 de novo 233 restenosis lesions. procedural success rate our cohort 97.0% (352/363 l...

gorlin-goltz syndrome (ggs) consists of ectodermal and mesodermal abnormalities. in this case report we will investigate lower extremity lesions of ggs. a 52-year-old man with ggs underwent skull and lower extremity computer tomography. radiographic findings included cervical spondylosis, transparent areas with slurred margins, and cerebral falx calcification. tibial and fibular specific cortic...

the most common soft tissue tumors during infancy and childhood are vascular lesions. although the vast majority of these lesions have typical clinical features and do not require any further exam, but sometimes atypical superficial or deeply located lesions need complementary studies to be diagnosed and classified. in that way it is also very important to exclude very less common malignant sof...

introduction: peripheral reactive lesions of soft tissue are common oral lesions that dentists face during routine examinations. diagnosis and development of a treatment plan is difficult if dentists are not aware of the prevalence and clinical symptoms of these lesions. the frequency of these lesions differs across various populations. the aim of this study was to determine the frequency and d...

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic repair of anterior Bankart lesions is typically done with single-loaded suture anchors tied with simple stitch configuration. HYPOTHESIS The knotless suture anchor will have similar biomechanical properties compared with two types of conventional suture anchors. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Fresh-frozen shoulders were dissected and an anteroinf...
