BACKGROUND Cysticercosis is common in endemic countries like India. It can have various clinical manifestations depending on the tissue involved. It refers to a parasitic infestation by Cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of the pork tapeworm or Taenia solium. OBJECTIVE To report an unusual case of ocular cysticercosis involving the levator palpebrae superioris and superior rectus muscle ...

INTRODUCTION Cysticercosis is an infection by the larval stage (cystcercus cellulosae) of the cestode, Taenia Solium (pork tape worm). It occurs especially in those individuals who live in the endemic areas. After gaining entry into the body, the larva become encysted and may lie in subcutaneous tissue, striated muscle, vitreous humor, or other tissues. CASE REPORT We report an unusual case o...

a pseudo aneurysm results from leakage of blood from an artery after trauma or dehiscence or separation of a surgical anastomosis. the reported rate of pseudo aneurysm in access sites range from 0.88% to 8%. it has some cause like penetrating trauma, blunt trauma and endovascular procedure. the differential diagnoses of this lesion are hematoma, av fistula, lymphadenopathy, lymphocele, dvt, com...

a case of soft tissue defect of dorsal hand due to crush injury in a 37-year-old female is reported here. the reconstructive surgery was performed for the hand soft-tissue defect. among different flaps used in the surgery, the regional flap such as radial forearm flap can be done. but usually it is not accepted by patient because of cosmetic appearance. therefore, random pattern abdominal flap ...

nowadays, one of the main problems encountered in minimally invasive surgery and telesurgery is the detection of arteries in tissue. in this study, for the first time, tactile detection of an artery in tissue and distinguishing it from the tumor has been modeled by finite element method. in this modeling, three 2d models of tissue have been created: tissue, tissue including a tumor, and tissue ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: robotic needle insertion in biological tissues has been known as one the most applicable procedures in sampling, robotic injection and different medical therapies and operations. objective: in this paper, we would like to investigate the effects of angular velocity in soft tissue insertion procedure by considering force-displacement diag...

conclusion our preliminary results have shown that although there is some overlap between benign and malignant tumors, adding dwi, mr imaging to routine soft tissue tumor protocols may improve diagnostic accuracy. results there was only one patient with a malignant cystic tumor and was not included in the statistical analysis. the median adc values of benign and malignant tumors were 2.31 ± 1.2...

in this paper, the focus is on a new kind of biodegradable semi-interpenetrating polymer networks, which derived from ɛ-caprolactone, lactide, 1,4-butane diisocyanate and ethylenediamine and also its potential has been investigated in soft tissue engineering applications. the polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (f...

purpose : to present a case of missed intraorbital wooden foreign body presented as soft tissue mass case report : we introduce a case of intraorbital wooden foreign body which presented with orbital soft tissue mass two years after trauma. a plain ct was requested which revealed a foreign body in the right orbit.conclusion : it is frequently difficult to identify and localize organic intraorbi...
