Open fracture dislocation of the calcaneocuboid and naviculocuneiform joints: A case report.

Combined fracture and dislocation of the calcaneocuboid (CC) and naviculocuneiform (NC) joints is a very rare injury; therefore, it is under-reported. We present a case of rare open fracture and dislocation of the CC and NC joints by discussing the diagnosis, evaluation, management and prognosis.

Reach of Messages in a Dental Twitter Network: Cohort Study Examining User Popularity, Communication Pattern, and Network Structure.

Background: Increasing the reach of messages disseminated through Twitter promotes the success of Twitter-based health education campaigns.

Objective: This study aimed to identify factors associated with reach in a dental Twitter network (1) initially and (2) sustainably at individual and network levels.

Methods: We used instructors' and students' Twitter usernames from a Saudi dental school in 2016-2017 and applied Gephi (a social network analysis tool) and social media analytics to calculate user and network metrics.

Significance of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in chronic hepatitis C patients.

Liver fibrosis (LF), where the chronic HCV infection is a major cause, is a characteristic of chronic liver diseases. LF results from chronic damage to the liver in conjunction with the accumulation of ECM proteins. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their specific inhibitors (TIMPs) are thought to play an essential role in the hepatic lesions.

Impact of CD40 expression by flowcytometry on outcome of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Lymphoid malignancies represent a wide variety of disease entities characterized by malignant proliferation of lymphoid cells which have distinct clinical features, cellular morphology, immunophenotype, cytogenetic changes and histologic features. CD40 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor super-family. It was first identified and characterized in B cell, signaling through the CD40 receptor was found to play an important role in multiple events in T-cell dependent antibody response including B-cell survival and proliferation, memory B-cell formation and immunoglobulin isotype switching.
