Neurogenic tumors are an uncommon group of tumors. They can range from schwanomas, ganglioneuroma ganglioneuroblastomas and many more, covering the entire spectrum of benign to malignant. Surgery has been the mainstay of treatment. In this case report, we explore a case of ganglio neuroma that was treated with a multidisciplinary modality and robotic intervention.
Wound closure techniques are vital components of modern medical practice, aimed at promoting healing, minimising infection risks, and achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes. Sutures and stapling are two primary methods utilised for wound closure. This report discusses the importance of sutures and stapling in medical procedures, their advantages and disadvantages, and their respective applications in different clinical scenarios, especially in traumatic situations.
Myoepithelial soft tissue tumors often pose diagnostic challenges due to their rarity. Their identification relies primarily on pathological analysis, although clinical and radiological features can guide the healthcare professional. Myoepithelial tumors, when benign, generally do not invade bone. In this context, we present a new case of this rare pathology, observed in the soft tissues of the thigh of a 32-year-old individual, with no bone involvement detected.
COVID-19 infection is a public health challenge that also includes the issue of health inequity in the United States and around the world. Populations in underserved communities and those who have underlying conditions (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc...) experienced higher rates of SARS-Cov-2 infection, hospitalizations, and even deaths. Traits such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension associated with the severity of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic made physical activity interventions a valuable prevention factor.
Osteoarticular tuberculosis (OAT) is a clinical condition characterized by a series of pathological manifestations resulting from the invasion of osteoarticular structures in the musculoskeletal system by the Bacillus of Koch (BK), or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This condition exhibits a higher frequency of involvement in the spine and hips, with the occurrence of tuberculosis in the epiphyses of long bones being extremely rare. The indolent nature of the disease poses a significant challenge for clinicians in accurately diagnosing epiphyseal tuberculosis in long bones.
Restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm caused by crime while holding the offender responsible for their actions. This study explored the lived experiences and insights of male offenders undergoing restorative justice in Tangub City, Misamis Occidental. The study was participated by five offenders undergoing restorative justice. The participants were chosen through purposive sampling. Interview and guide questions were used in gathering the data. The study used the qualitative approach using the phenomenological design.
In comparison to other mammals humans as well as their teeth grow up slowly. Forensic odontology is a branch of forensic science that studies about the teeth, their growth and development as well as the crime associated with it. Not only for chewing purpose teeth do play an important role in criminal investigation through bite marks as they carry DNA and are unique. In this paper, various methods are studied for the analysis of bite marks.
Vaccination not only reduces the risk of short- and long-term health complications from COVID-19, but it also slows or stops the spread of the disease by preventing it from being passed onto others that are at high-risk for severe COVID-19 illness, like grandparents or daycare staff with underlying medical conditions. The pace of the COVID-19 vaccine development process is unprecedented and is challenging the traditional paradigm of vaccinology science.
An impacted tooth is often a common problem in dentistry. Maxillary canines and mandibular laterals are seen impacted most commonly in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment without reaching the line of occlusion. These impactions are commonly due to obstructions and the difference in the direction of movement of the tooth. Canines are the cornerstones for esthetic smiles and functional occlusion. Hence, surgical exposure of these impacted canines, guiding them toward the line of occlusion, plays a very important role in the maintenance of the health of the periodontium.
Maxillary substance loss can be defined as an interruption in the continuity of the osseous and/or fibrous tissues of the maxillary arch. It can be caused by various factors such as trauma, infectious factors or resection of tumour processes. This loss of tissue often results in bucco-sinusal or bucco-naso-sinusal communication, which can have a number of disabling consequences. Functional problems are often observed as the communication created between these natural cavities results in leakage of air, food and fluids, making eating difficult or impossible and communication unintelligible.
