primary tooth impaction is a rare finding during the development of primary dentition. several factors contribute to the impaction of a deciduous tooth. this report describes the diagnosis and treatment of a 10-year-old boy who presented an impacted second primary mandibular molar. this tooth, located inferior to the second premolar together with an odontoma, was positioned superior to the prem...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the seasonal influence, signalment, type of hay consumed, clinical examination findings, and outcome after surgery for horses with ileal impaction. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. RESULTS Between 1988 and 1993, 28 horses had surgical correction of ileal impaction. There was a significantly higher rate of ileal impaction during the Fall (September-November, P = .004...

Impaction grafting for revision total hip arthroplasty is increasingly being used in cases complicated by substantial bone loss. Many techniques using cemented and noncemented designs with or without bone graft have had unpredictable outcomes and are the source of continuing debate. This new technique uses morselized allograft, impacted into a constrained femoral envelope, creating a new medull...

Hematological and biochemical parameters were determined in 82 West African Dwarf goats with foreign body rumen impaction (FBR) and 40 normal WAD goats without foreign body rumen impaction (WFBR) in order to evaluate their influence on the etio-pathogenesis of rumen impaction. The mean PCV (26.22%), RBC (9.03 X 106/µL), Hb (8.38g/dl) and MCHC (32.20g/dl) were significantly lower in FBR than in ...

Bone defects in revision hip surgery can be reconstructed with impacted morselized bone grafts. Rinsing these trabecular allografts may enhance graft incorporation by washing out immunogenic factors present in blood, marrow, and fat. However, it has been proposed that impaction of the graft releases biologically active factors, which can provide sufficient activity to stimulate new bone formati...

Case description- a goat-kid with anorexia, weakness, depression, reluctant to move, poor condition, and generalized unthriftiness was admitted to the Veterinary Clinic of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. Clinical Findings- body temperature, heart and respiratory rates, hematologic indices including PCV, total and differential WBC and total RBC count were normal. In clinical examination, a...
