Heterotopic ossification is defined as the development of mature bone tissue outside normal bone. Osteomyelitis an infection-related inflammatory disorder bones. Although pressure sores accompanied by heterotopic have been reported, there no reports osteomyelitis occurring in proximity to ossification. Herein, we report a rare case after trochanteric sore reconstruction. We also emphasize impor...

conclusions radiological findings pleaded for a pituitary stone, but calcified adenomas in women, and calcified craniopharyngioma in the pediatric case could not be excluded, as our three patients were not operated on. introduction pituitary stone or pituitary calculus is a scientific enigma characterized by a large calcification in the pituitary sella. it can be discovered incidentally or in a...

Purpose One of the local factors contributing to the formation of heterotopic ossification includes bone debris generated during the surgery. This risk can be partially nullified by use of saline wash. Our research aim was to ascertain if extensive intraoperative lavage can reduce the incidence and severity of heterotopic ossification in primary total hip arthroplasty. Materials and Methods A...

We provide here unique data on elephant skeletal ontogeny. We focus on the sequence of cranial and post-cranial ossification events during growth in the African elephant (Loxodonta africana). Previous analyses on ossification sequences in mammals have focused on monotremes, marsupials, boreoeutherian and xenarthran placentals. Here, we add data on ossification sequences in an afrotherian. We us...

There is no agreement in the literature as to the time of the onset and progress of the vertebral column ossification. The aim of the present study was to determine the precise sequence of ossification of the neural arches and vertebral centra.Histological and radiographic studies were performed on 27 human foetuses aged from 9 to 21 weeks. It was found that the ossification of vertebrae commen...

Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and ossification of the yellow ligament are the main causes of spinal canal stenosis. This article describes a case of ossification of the posterior longitudinal and yellow ligaments on the lumbar spine. The patient presented with gradually worsening left lower-extremity ache and pain. The deep tendon reflex was hyperreflexia in the lower extr...

progressive osseous heteroplasia is a rare inherited disease that begins with skin ossification and proceeds into the deeper connective tissues. the disease should be distinguished from other genetic disorders of heterotopic ossification including fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (fop) and albright hereditary osteodystrophy (aho). we report a case of progressive osseous heteroplasia in a t...

conclusions psa, psa density, and gleason score should be considered together in order to more accurately predict the adverse pathologic features of prostate cancer. methods we conducted a cross-sectional study of 105 patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy between 2006 and 2013. we recorded gleason scores and psa levels, in addition to the results of patholo...

The processes of ossification sequences are poorly investigated for birds in general, even for domestic and experimental species and when it comes to the waterfowl it is almost negligible. Such sequences constitute a rich source of data on character evolution, and may even provide phylogenetic information. A pre-hatch developmental study on ossification sequences of axial and appendicular skele...

BACKGROUND Delayed fetal skeletal ossification is one of the known complications of maternal diabetes. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to evaluate the protective role of petroleum ether extract of Cissus quadrangularis (PECQ) on diabetes-induced delayed fetal skeletal ossification. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female Wistar rats were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg, i...
