this case is a 19-year-old soldier who suffered a combined elbow dislocation and posterior monteggia fracture and dislocation (type ii). the ulna fracture was managed by orif. the elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction and immobilization in 900 flexion. the posteriorly dislocated radial head was kept reduced by a transarticular pin. after 6 months elbow and forearm motion was restric...

This report has discussed the endodontic and surgical management of a peripheral ossifying fibroma that had occurred in the anterior maxillary anterior region, between a central and a lateral incisor in a 12-year-old child. The lesion was diagnosed to have occurred secondary to a pulpo-periodontal irritation.

CONTEXT Dieulafoy's lesion is an unusual cause of gastrointestinal bleeding with the most common location being the stomach. A periampullary location is rare for a bleeding Dieulafoy's lesion. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 52-year-old female who presented with intermittent painless melena. Her upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy were normal. She was a diagnostic challenge ...

The ability of the adult brain to form new connections in areas denervated by a lesion (axonal sprouting) is more widespread than previously thought, but mechanisms remain unknown. We have previously demonstrated an unexpected, robust axonal sprouting of contralateral corticostriatal neurons into the denervated striatum after ischemic cortical lesions. We now take advantage of marked difference...

Proliferative periostitis is a pathologic lesion that displays an osteo-productive and proliferative inflammatory response of the periosteum to infection or other irritation. This lesion is a form of chronic osteomyelitis that is often asymptomatic, occurring primarily in children, and found only in the mandible. The lesion can be odontogenic or non-odontogenic in nature. A 12 year-old boy pres...

A paradoxical response is not uncommon in non-HIV-infected patients, particularly those with extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. It is defined as the radiological and clinical worsening of a previous lesion or the development of new lesion during anti-tuberculosis therapy. The paradoxical response has been attributed to host immunologic reactions, such as a delayed hypersensitivity or a response to m...

Objective: the present report describes clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) lesion. Case report: we a clinical case 14-year-old boy with asymptomatic edema. Panoramic radiography detected unilocular lesion defined margins located in posterior region mandible. The internal structure presented several degrees radiopacity involvement third...

A commonly referenced transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) safety threshold derives from tDCS lesion studies in the rat and relies on electrode current density (and related electrode charge density) to support clinical guidelines. Concerns about the role of polarity (e.g. anodal tDCS), sub-lesion threshold injury (e.g. neuroinflammatory processes), and role of electrode montage across...
