Considering the physiological role of epiphysis in functional activity and defense reactions of the body, this study was carried out to evaluate changes of lithium level due to biorhythms of epiphysis. For this purpose, albino mice (6-month old) were used. The animals were kept in light (resulting in inhibition of the activity of epiphysis) and dark (which increases the activity of epiphysis) e...

conclusions we underscored the importance of endocrinologic disorders in craniopharyngioma cases. such disorders should be taken into consideration and be followed up. introduction slipped capital femoral epiphysis is characterized by the slippage of the proximal femoral epiphysis on the metaphysis, which is sometimes associated with an underlying endocrine disorder. panhypopituitarism due to c...

We reviewed three infants with destructive osteomyelitis involving the proximal tibial epiphysis at a follow-up of eight to 22 years. All cases showed early radiographic destructive changes in the medial or lateral aspects of the epiphysis and metaphysis. Despite the ominous early appearance of the epiphysis, all cases showed spontaneous re-ossification of the epiphysis with restoration of the ...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION In slipped capital femoral epiphysis the femoral neck displaces relative to the head due to weakening of the epiphysis. Early recognition and adequate surgical fixation is essential for a good functional outcome. The fixation should be secured until the closure of the epiphysis to prevent further slippage. A slipped capital femoral epiphysis should not be confused wit...

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a relatively common disorder of the hip that affects children in late childhood and early adolescence, with an incidence in the United States of approximately 10 per 100,000. Although the diagnosis and treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis have been well described, the search for its cause and a method of early identification continues. Recent publi...

OBJECTIVE To compare proximal femur radiologic angles in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis and to analyze whether computerized tomography may modify the treatment. METHODS Cross-sectional study comparing and analyzing the similarity between angles and radiologic classification of interest in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). RESULTS It was observed that the therapeutic...

conclusions this phenomenon has been reported as a rare complication of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. treatment of these patients is controversial and the long term results are unknown but efforts must be done for early diagnosis and anatomic reduction of femoral epiphysis. introduction slipped capital femoral epiphysis (scfe) is one of the complications of septic arthritis that occurs ra...

The cartilaginous epiphysis of the distal femur is vascularized by a network of cartilage canals during prenatal development. The vascular invasion of the epiphysis begins at approximately eight to ten weeks of gestation with the initiation of cartilage canal formation. A complex vascular system develops within the canals and is well defined by fourteen weeks of gestation. The vascular system i...

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common disease of adolescent and the epiphysis is positioned more posteromedially in relation to the femoral neck shaft with varus SCFE; however, posterolateral displacement of the capital epiphysis, valgus SCFE, occurs less frequently. We report a case of valgus SCFE in a 17-year-old boy with hypopituitarism. After falling down, he experienced diff...
