Thallium 201 whole body scintigraphy was performed in a 30 year old patient with diffuse osseous metastatic disease secondary to glioblastoma multiforme. Multiple sites of Thallium uptake correlated with the findings on serial bone scans and radiographs. Bone biopsy of a lower lumbar vertebra confirmed that the metastases were of glial origin.

rheumatoid arthritis is the most common inflammatory joint disease with 1 percent prevalence in community which presents with symmetrical polyarthritis of hands with inflammatory behavior. several studies in recent years were conducted for evaluation of inflammatory cytokines such as il1-α (interlukin 1α) and tnf- α (tumor necrosis factor) in rheumatologic disorders including rheumatoid arthrit...

introduction one of the important applications of nuclear physics in medicine is the use of radioactive elements as radiopharmaceuticals. metastatic bone disease is the most common form of malignant bone tumors. samarium-153-ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonate (153sm-edtmp) as a radiopharmaceutical is used for pain palliation. this radiopharmaceutical usually emits beta particles, which...

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease and there is a close relationship between the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and bone metabolism. Leptin has been shown to regulate bone formation and bone resorption via the SNS. However, the effect of SNS on leptin signaling has not been clearly understood. In the present study, we studied the effect of propranolol on ovariectomy-induced osteoporo...

introduction radiographs provide unique information about the status of periodontium and permanent records of condition of bone throughout the course of the disease. interproximal images record the distance between the cementoenamel junction and the crest of the interradicular alveolar bone, more accurately. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different vertical angles of x-r...

backgroundcongenital generalized lipodystrophy (cgl) is a rare disease. it is associated with near total fat loss, severe insulin resistance and hypoleptinemia leading to metabolic derangements.case presentationwe report a 25- year- old female with 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-o-acyltransferase 2 (apgat2) mutation, and both sclerotic and lytic bone lesions together for the first time. bone cyst i...

background:   objective: it was investigated whether methylprednisolone had a favorable effect on osteoporotic bone tissue in oophorectomy induced osteoporotic rats whose endogenous adrenaline levels are suppressed with metyrosine.   materials and methods: bone mineral density, number of osteoblast-osteoclast, bone osteocalcin levels and alkaline phosphatase (alp) measurements were performed. o...

Scientists have been speculating for three decades about the reasons occurrence of peri-implantitis around dental implants. Many theories proposed since beginning 1990. Since then, profession has exposed to a vast number cases, whereas “disease” had unknown before this time. However, situation not improved because we focus more on how treat problem instead trying understand it completely. The a...
