In a communication shortly to be published* we are recording a case of bilateral ovarian neoplasms in an infant with generalized reticuloendotheliosis and monocytic leuka!mia. The histology of the ovaries showed the tumours to be endotheliomata. The following were the chief features of this case. M. D., aged 1 year, was admitted for wasting, under Dr. Smellie, to the Birmingham Children's Hospi...

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...

background :soft tissue profile can be widely different in various populations. furthermore, this profile can be also continues to change throughout life. however, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the soft tissue profile in iranian population. in order to determine normal reference values of facial parts in our populations, we aimed to measure standards for facial soft tissue ...

introduction: fishbone is the most common foreign body found in the oropharynx. conventionally patients with suspected fishbone in the throat would have mirror laryngoscopy followed by lateral soft tissue x-ray to look for the fishbone or observe impacts caused by the fishbone i.e. soft tissue swelling or air in upper esophagus. however, the most common site of fishbone impact is the suprahyoid...

background: abdominal circumference (ac), biparietal diameters (bpd) and femoral length (fl) are now the main parameters used to obtain estimated fetal weight (efw). although the role of soft tissue parameters in determining fetal weight was proved but clinical attention to mid-thigh soft tissue thickness (stt) is limited. objective: to find the impression of stt on birth weight (bw) and repres...

background: laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (lllt) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). the tensile strength of radiated tissue by lllt is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation. objective: in this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic t...

introduction: the purpose of this preliminary study was to evaluate the periodontal condition of intruded molars in various phases of treatments. methods: 30 patients with at least one overerupted upper first molar were selected. upper molar bands with brackets were cemented. two miniscrews were placed in the mesiopalatal and mesiobuccal aspect of the aforementioned teeth. a titanium molybdenum...
