background the efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. we have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using acoustic rhinometry (ar) and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (nose) scale. methods between may 2011 and may 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to otorhinol...

introduction: nose morphology depends on gender, ethnicity, and environmental conditions. it can be used in identification of the race and sex of persons whose identity is unknown. nasal index is a useful tool in anthropometry. methods: in this study, nasal parameters of iranian males and females students were measured (nasal height, nasal width, and nasal index). this study was conducted on 20...

Abstract Joubert syndrome (JS) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder that usually diagnosed late in pregnancy or postnatally based on pathognomonic midbrain–hindbrain malformation seen magnetic resonance imaging brain, which consists of the hypoplasia cerebellar vermis, thickened superior peduncles, and deepened interpeduncular fossa described as molar tooth sign. The recurr...

We report two fetuses with Fryns syndrome including the typical facial appearance and distal limb and lung hypoplasia, but no diaphragmatic hernias. The parents were consanguineous. Characteristic in both cases were the distal limb defects with brachytelephalangism and aplasia of the distal phalanges of the first toe. Since one of the two sibs had severe lung hypoplasia without macroscopic or m...

Introduction: In teeth with incomplete rhizogenesis, the canal is frustoconical and broad, foramen absent. The disinfection obturation protocol must be adapted to keep treatment within root limits. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) performs an apexification by creating a hard tissue barrier cement deposits, it not toxic periradicular tissues. Hypoplasia quantitative enamel defect caused heredita...

INTRODUCTION Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD) is a rare inherited autosomal dominant congenital syndrome that occurs in approximately one out of every one million individuals worldwide; it primarily affects bones that undergo intra-membranous ossification, generally the skull and clavicles. Other bones may be affected such as the long bones, spine, pelvis, bones of hands and feet showing hypoplasi...

Methotrexate and aminopterin are folic acid antagonists that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase, resulting in a block in the synthesis of thymidine and inhibition of DNA synthesis. Methotrexate has been used for the treatment of malignancy, rheumatic disorders, and psoriasis and termination of intrauterine pregnancy. Recently, methotrexate has become a standard treatment for ectopic pregnancy. The...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of intranasal phototherapy on nasal microbial flora in patients with allergic rhinitis. this prospective, self-comparised, single blind study was performed on patients with a history of at least two years of moderate-to-severe perennial allergic rhinitis that was not controlled  by  anti-allergic drugs.  thirty-one  perennial  allergic r...

Purpose We report the clinical characteristics of a Japanese family with autosomal dominant oculocutaneous albinism and a SLC45A2 gene mutation. Methods A total of 16 members of a Japanese family with general hypopigmentation and foveal hypoplasia underwent detailed clinical examinations. We evaluated the severity of foveal hypoplasia using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT...
