We report here a rare case of lateral ectopia of thyroid without orthotopic thyroid tissue in an Indian teenager, who was referred to our department for a thyroid scintigraphy. Technetium Pertechnetate (99mTcO4- ) scan showed uptake in laterally placed soft tissue structure along with functioning thyroid tissue in high anterior midline neck region in line with thyroglossal...

introduction : lateral osteotomy is a major part of rhinoplasty for remodeling external facet of the nose and narrowing of nasal base and dorsum after removal of the hump with the edema and ecchymosis being the major sequels of the operation. the present study compared post-operative edema and ecchymosis and mucosa tears between internal and external osteotomy techniques. materials and methods ...

background handling of upper lateral cartilages (ulcs) is of prime importance in rhinoplasty. this study presents the experiences among 2500 cases of rhinoplasty in the past 10 years for managing of ulcs to minimize unwilling results of the shape and functional problems of the nose. methods all cases of rhinoplasties were done by the same surgeon from 2002 to 2013. management of ulcs changed fr...

statement of problem: when a tooth is treated endodontically, there are several objectives, which must be met for the root canal therapy to be successful. one of those objectives is the complete obturation of the root canal system. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the apical sealability of the theramfil endodontic obturation technique and compared it with lateral condensation....

abstract   background: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) is a progressive neurological disorder with high mortality and morbidity. some risk factors have been implicated for als such as exposure to high magnetic fields, and trace elements like selenium, cadmium and lead. afew studies have been carried out throughout the world to evaluate the prevalence of als among veterans. this study was ai...

background: despite the genetic heterogeneity reported in familial als (fals), sod1 gene mutations are the most frequent cause of fals, accounting for around 20% of familial cases (als1) and isolated sporadic cases. mutant forms of sod1 exhibit toxicity that promotes the death of motor neurons. it is well documented that fals produces protein aggregates in the motor neurons of fals patients, wh...

brain areas implicated in the stress response include the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. neonatal stimulation of an animal by handling or by enhanced maternal care induces at adult age a decrease of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (hpa) response to stressors, a decrease of anxiety in a novel environment, and neuroanatomical changes. in this present study we demonstrated that mat...

objectives: patellar maltracking is the main reason for pain and disability in patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps). patellar taping can considerably reduce such pain and disability. this study compared the effectiveness of physiotherapy exercises and kinesio taping on the patellar position in women with pfps (mean age 32.2±1.12 years) by using magnetic resonance imaging (mri). methods: thirty w...

on the circular curve, lateral acceleration affects comfort. on the spiral, both lateral acceleration and jerk affect comfort.  the determination of maximum curving speed on the basis of lateral acceleration only is not critical because the lateral acceleration is proportional to the square of speed whereas jerk is proportional to cubic power of speed. the maximum speed on a curve is thus signi...
