A bifid ureter is a congenital renal tract abnormality due to some error or disturbance during development. It is an example of incomplete duplication of urinary collecting system. A bifid ureter is formed when a duplex kidney drain into separate ureters that unite before attending the bladder. Bifid ureter is reported to be twice more common in females and on the right side. The majority of th...

Bifid nose is a rare congenital abnormality and its surgical correction is difficult. We represent a case of bifid nose with mild nasal deformity without cerebral or lip deformity. We performed rhinoplasty with a kind of the forked flap at one year of age and the appearance improved.

Because of its subcutaneous location, the sternum can be examined sonographically using a linear scanner. We report about two children who experienced blunt chest trauma. Anterior-posterior chest X-rays were normal. Ultrasonic imaging confirmed a fracture of the sternum with dorsal displacement of the distal fragment (by 0.97 cm) in the first child and a transverse fracture of the body of the s...

Mandibular condyles constitute a major part of the temporomandibular joint. Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) is rare morphological variant that asymptomatic in most cases and can be diagnosed incidentally on orthopantomogram during routine radiographic examination. But orthopantomography 2-dimensional imaging modality with various structures superimposed over region causing practical difficulty d...

Our patient presented with a double femoral head, that is, two separate heads with individual epiphyses, but a single contiguous metaphysis. Two similar cases had been described in the literature. The only common feature in these three cases is that they had open reduction for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) through an anterior approach. No other pathology was detected in these patient...

RATIONALE Dome-and-dart T waves (or bifid T waves) are a rare phenomenon in the surface electrocardiogram. These wave forms are mainly observed in patients with congenital heart disease such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. And hyperthyroidism who presented with an electrocardiogram that had dome-and-dart T waves in a precordial lead is never been reported. PATIENT CONCE...

It has been suggested recently (Mossel, 1958) that the bifid bacteria (usually referred to as Lactobacillus bifidus in the literature) may be suitable indicators of fecal contamination of foods and/or waters. The feces of man and certain animals are rich sources of these organisms (Haenel, 1956; Haenel and Miller-Beuthow, 1956) which, so far as is known, do not grow in other natural environment...

This study investigated the use of the geometric alignment of two frontal lines (the sternum and abdominal) for predicting alignment of the thoracic and lumbar spines and for measuring wheelchair-seated posture. The sternum line connects the upper sternum point and the lower sternum point. The abdominal line connects the lower sternum point and the center point between the right and left anteri...
