The current literature contains numerous reports on the importance of the mediastinal lymph nodes in the diagnosis and prognosis of pulmonary neoplasms. We recently described a technique by which the mediastinal contents could be explored directly with little risk (Stemmer, Calvin, Chandor, and Connolly, 1965). Figure 1 illustrates the operative technique. An oblique incision is made just later...

A newborn male with Möbius syndrome, Poland anomaly, and dextrocardia is described. This is the second case reported of Poland-Möbius syndrome associated with dextrocardia. The patient presented with strabismus, facial diplegia, difficulty in swallowing, hypoplasia of the left pectoralis major muscle, partial absence of the upper costal cartilages, absence of the left areola, hypoplasia of the ...

Our nose, paranasal sinuses, as well as the throat (pharynx) are part of the upper respiratory tract, which consists of two parts. Anatomically, the external and internal parts of the nose can be illustrated. The first consists of nasal bones and nasal cartilages and the internal nose is formed by the nasal cavity and the nasal concha also known as turbinates (choanae), are separated by the nas...

The reorganization of cranial cartilages during tadpole metamorphosis is a set of complex processes. The fates of larval cartilage-forming cells (chondrocytes) and sources of adult chondrocytes are largely unknown. Individual larval cranial cartilages may either degenerate or remodel, while many adult cartilages appear to form de novo during metamorphosis. Determining the extent to which adult ...

OBJECTIVES To describe an alar cartilage-modifying technique aimed at decreasing nasal tip projection in cases with overdeveloped alar cartilages and to compare it with other deprojection techniques used to correct such deformity. DESIGN Selected case series. SETTINGS University and private practice settings in Alexandria, Egypt. PATIENTS Twenty patients presenting for rhinoplasty who had...

The differentiation of cephalic neural crest cells into skeletal tissue in birds has been observed using the quail-chick nuclear marking system, which is based on specific differences in the distribution of the nuclear DNA. Chimaeras were formed by replacing a fragment of cephalic neural primordium of a 2- to 12-somite chicken embryo by the corresponding fragment isolated from an equivalent qua...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of kinesio-taping on the range of motion of cervical lateral flexion point in subjects with trigger point in upper trapezius muscle. Methods: A total of 32 subjects with myofascial trigger point in upper trapezius participated in this randomized controlled trial (RCT). The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: Kinesio-...
