this study was designed reevaluate the outcome of soft wall reconstruction technique for cwd mastoidectomy and to test the validity of anteriorly–based musculoperiosteal flap attachment without oblitrating the mastoid cavity for increasing graft viability. two methods of reconstruction were used. soft wall reconstruction method as described previously by smith et al, were performed on 35 patien...

introduction: based on the invasive studies it has been shown that factors such as age, the progress of eye disorders, lens fibers compression and the biochemical changes of ocular matrix alter the physical characteristics and elastic properties of eye. in this study, a noninvasive method of estimating human eye elasticityis proposed and its relation with age and gender is evaluated using ultra...

Background: Conventional fixation methods of posterior wall acetabular fractures feature the use of plating and lagscrews. However, fixation of posterior wall fractures with buttress plating alone offers potential advantages by avoidingthe hardware complications related to hardware placement through the wall fragment. The purpose of this study wasto examine if buttress plating...

We herein describe a 34-year-old woman with a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) impinging on the posterior wall of the left atrium, subdivided by a membrane at the distal part of the impingement. In this patient, a much dilated coronary sinus due to the PLSVC resulted in a membrane-like structure in the posterior wall of the left atrium with the appearance of the cor triatriatum in tra...

Background & Aims: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the common retina disorders that can lead to loss of vision by increase in age. In this study, the efficacy of a non-invasive ultrasound technique for the evaluation of alastic properties of eye in the diagnosis of ARMD has been evaluated. Methods: For estimation of the elastic modulus of eye, spatial loading system designed a...

Hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. We present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. Clinical and imaging (radiography, CT) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

Case report of a posterior pharyngeal wall schwannoma in a 23-year-old female. Hypopharyngeal schwannoma is rare entities and at the time of writing we could find only 10 other cases reported worldwide and this is the eleventh. Complete excision was done intraorally and there is no recurrence after 1 year.
