lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

background: this was a retrospective cephalometric study to develop a more precise estimation of soft tissue changes related to underlying tooth movment than simple relatioship betweenhard and soft tissues. materials and methods: the lateral cephalograms of 61 adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment (31 = premolar extraction, 31 = nonextraction) were obtained, scanned and digitized befo...

Microscopy images can often be used for analysing the progression of the cancer by finding the proportion of cancer cells in a tissue after they have been stained with immunohistochemistry methods. When one has several such images it is better to analyse them automatically. This project aims to implement the averaged threshold method (ATM) which can be used to calculate the proportion of staine...

A colorimetric method for analysis of the red cell content of tissues is described, and compared with an independent radioassay method. The introduced method is based upon acid extraction of tissue, treatment with base, and adsorption of the remaining turbidity with lauryl sulfate. Preliminary data are presented on the reproducibility of the colorimetric method on multiple biopsies of the canin...

background and aims. connective tissue grafts with and without periosteum is used in regenerative treatments of bone and has demonstrated successful outcomes in previous investigations. the aim of present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of connective tissue graft with and without periosteum in regeneration of intrabony defects. materials and methods. in this single-blind randomized spli...

BACKGROUND Proper pre-operative facial analysis that includes a thorough evaluation of both the bony and soft tissue anatomy is paramount to success in performing aesthetic surgery of the face. Ethnic variations in soft tissue profile add an important variable to pre-operative facial analysis. The aim of our study was to determine the role of ethnic variations in soft tissue facial profiles th...
