Spinal stenosis may rarely involve both cervical and lumbar spines. An alternative surgical strategy used for the treatment of combined cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis is presented. Two cases with symptomatic combined stenosis of the cervical and lumbar spinal canal are described. Simultaneous surgery was performed in both cases. The combined stenosis of the cervical and lumbar spinal canal...

lynestrenol 0.5 mg.(exlution) given to patients orally from the first day of their cycle in a continuous manner suppressed cervical mucorrhea and spinbarkeit sufficiently ennough to stop sperm penetration to the cervical canal. fern reactions were mostly negative and all post- coital examinations (sims huhner tests) showed an absence of spermatozoa.

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two rotary instrument systems (ProTaper and Revo-s File) in removing calcium hydroxide residues from root canal walls Materials and Methods:Thirty human  maxillary incisors were instrumented with the ProTaper System up to the F2 instrument, irrigated with 2.5% NaOCl,and filled with a calcium hydroxide intracanal dr...

Reports on adolescent patients with cervical myelopathy who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion are scarce. However, to our knowledge, no cases of expansive laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy associated with progressive neurological deficit after a series of conservative treatment, caused by both disc herniation and developmental cervical spinal canal stenosis, have been reporte...

BACKGROUND Although the cytologic findings of adenoid cystic carcinoma have been reported frequently, fine needle aspiration diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal has not been reported before in the English-language literature. CASE A 70-year-old female presented with a mass occluding the external auditory canal. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed. Th...

Background & Importance: Disc herniation is defined as the prolapsed of material disc into the spinal canal. If the disc fragment is free in spinal canal, it is called sequestration disc fragment. Occasionally, alteration in sequestration disc fragment makes the diagnosis of the disc herniation, challenging. Case Presentation: We reviewed a rare case of the cervical sequestrated disc...

Although several studies report various treatment solutions for cervical spondylotic myelopathy in patients with athetoid cerebral palsy, long-term follow-up studies are very rare. None of the reported treatment solutions represent a gold standard for this disease owing to the small number of cases and lack of long-term follow-up. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of laminoplasty with l...

BACKGROUND To describe MRI and clinical findings in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis with cervical spine involvement at onset and follow-up under therapy. METHODS 13 patients with signs of cervical spine involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis with a median disease duration of 1.7 years were included in the study. Clinical records and MR images were retrospectively analyzed ac...

The purpose of this study was to compare regional bond strength at middle and cervical thirds of the root canal among glass fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) endodontic posts luted with different cements, using the push-out test. To compare the performance (retention) of two types of luting cements polycarboxylat cement and Glass ionomer cement used to cement translucent fibre post. and To compa...

A narrow passage called the cervical canal (or endocervical canal) goes from your vagina to the inside of your womb. This is normally kept tightly shut. However, it allows blood to flow out from your uterus during a period and sperm to travel inside when you have sex. It opens very wide during labour when you have a baby. The surface of your cervix is covered with skin-like cells. There are als...
