Introduction  The inferior turbinate (IT) is the most susceptible turbinate to enlargement causing nasal obstruction. The common belief ascribes most of the enlargement of the IT to mucosal elements. Objective  This study aimed to investigate the detailed computed tomography (CT) measurement of the IT in asymptomatic adult by determining the thickness of both the non-bony (mucosa) and bony part...

J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry Month 2017 Vol 0 No 0 Figure 1 The clinical, paraclinical course and therapeutic regimens of a female patient with NMO. (A) Timeline of NMO and therapeutic regimens. (B) November 2002: sagittal T2-weighted image of spinal cord exhibits hyperintense lesions in the thoracic spinal cord from the T2 to T4 levels. Axial brain MRI scan shows corticospinal tract lesions i...

OBJECTIVE Establish criteria for the diameters of normal extraocular muscles using computerized tomography in a Thai population. MATERIAL AND METHOD Diameters of extraocular muscles (medial, lateral, superior complex, and inferior rectus) were calculated for 200 patients on coronal direction of screening paranasal sinuses. The effects of age and sex were also analyzed. RESULT Normal ranges ...

Gravid Nya: NYLAR strain mice were infected with Toxoplasma gondii on embryonic day 7. During the remaining 12 days of gestation, considerable fetal wastage occurred. At birth, pups were sickly and growth-stunted, and postnatal mortality was high. After 1 month, surviving weanlings were killed and autopsied. Coronal sections of the cerebrum revealed: numerous cortical and periventricular cystic...

Overinstrumentation during root canal treatment is one of the causes for iatrogenic enlargement of the root apex. It also leads to unwarranted coronal third widening, which results in thinning of the dentinal walls and makes the tooth susceptible to fracture. Another difficulty arises during control of obturation material within the canal. Such cases can be managed with obturation using mineral...

NTRODUCTION The goals of root canal therapy are to remove infected and necrotic pulpal tissue remnants, shape the root canal system to facilitate irrigation and medication and adequate sealing using obturation materials. 1 Rotary instruments enhance the quality of obturation by providing conical shape to the root canal. Nickle titanium (NiTi) alloy instruments inherent flexibility that allows t...

Children with meningomyeloceles have problems involving several organ systems and often require repeated radiologic examinations. They have multiple cranial defects, particularly the Arnold-Chiari II malformation and associated hydrocephalus. Cranial sonographic findings in 29 patients included hydrocephalus with pointing of the frontal horns, asymmetry of the lateral ventricles, and relative e...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The hippocampal fissure is a fetal sulcus that, except for its most medial part (the superficial hippocampal sulcus), is normally obliterated. Hippocampal cavities are residual cysts attributable to lack of hippocampal fissure obliteration. We hypothesized that either hippocampal sulcus enlargement or an increase in number or size of hippocampal cavities could be associat...

Background Enlarged prostate is often noticed in patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in our clinical practice. The aims were to identify the factors associated with enlarged prostate and to investigate its clinical implications. Methods IPAA patients with available prostate imaging after IPAA were included. Prostate length and width were measured in the axial plane and height in...

introduction: this cross-sectional survey determined the dental prevalence of apical periodontitis (ap) in selected iranian population, and evaluated the influence of the quality of root canal treatment (rct) and their coronal restorations (cr) on the periapical status. materials and methods: a total of 1064 panoramic radiographies were evaluated by two observers during 2009. the quality of rct...
