Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and can infect nearly every organ the human body. One common manifestation S. disease invasive bone infection, or osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis one most difficult to treat infections, often necessitating prolonged antibiotic treatment surgical interventions. Hyperglycemia, elevated blood glu...

1. We have studied the motion of the abdomen and the rib cage in patients with a transection of the lower cervical spinal cord during normal breathing both in the supine and sitting posture, and compared it with that of normal subjects. 2. In the supine posture the rib cage of a patient moves paradoxically inward, therefore his chest wall is deformed, which explains the high work of breathing. ...

Hemangioma of the rib is a rare benign tumor that is often difficult to distinguish from malignant bone tumors. Rib hemangioma often shows bony disruption with a slight cortical disruption, extraosseous lesion, and expanded bone on computed tomography (CT). We report the case of a 68-year-old man with atypical rib hemangioma with a slight cortical disruption and no expanded bone. The tumor show...

The purpose of this study was to determine if hard and soft rib protector garments have an effect on trunk kinematics and throw performance (accuracy and speed) of experienced quarterbacks during an overhand football pass. Eight quarterbacks completed 10 throws during each of three rib protector conditions (no rib, soft, hard). Protector conditions were compared using non-inferiority testing. N...

INTRODUCTION Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare, systemic, aseptic, inflammatory disorder that involves different sites. Pathogenesis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is currently unknown. CASE PRESENTATION A two-year-old Caucasian boy, diagnosed with chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis with granulomatous pyoderma following routine vaccinations is present...

At initial presentation, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis may mimic acute hematogenous osteomyelitis; however, cultures of affected bone are sterile. Nuclear scintigraphy identifies additional foci of involvement that present concurrently or sequentially. Unlike acute bacterial osteomyelitis, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis seems unaffected by antibiotic therapy and typical...

Garre’s sclerosing osteomyelitis is a kind of chronic osteomyelitis that is mainly seen in children and adolescents. It was formerly documented only in long bones, particularly tibia. Proliferative osteomyelitis of the jaw was described only in the late 1970s. Since then, this clinical entity is well illustrated in dental literature and is frequently linked with an odontogenic infection, mainly...

introduction: rib fracture is one of the common causes of trauma disabilities in many events and the outcome of these patients are very extensive from temporary pain management to long-term significant disability. control and management of the pain in such patients is one of the most important challenges in emergency departments. thus, the aim of the present study was assessing the efficacy of ...

Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of bone involving the medullary cavity, the Haversian system, and the adjacent cortex. According to literature review osteomyelitis of zygomatic bone secondary to the depressed fracture of the parietal bone never reported. Here we report a case of osteomyelitis of zygomatic bone which develops 3 month after the depressed fracture of parietal bone.

We report a case of Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) arising from anterior are of first rib along with literature review which was treated with excision of rib through its normal margin along with tumor mass. GCT of rib is rare and if found mostly arises from the posterior aspect. However, GCT should be considered as differential diagnosis when bony mass is present in the anterior are of rib. It poses su...
