The effect of the Botulinum toxin-A on craniofacial development: an experimental study.

In this study, we developed a novel experimental model to evaluate muscular action on bone formation and remodeling by the help of Botulinum toxin-A (BTX). Forty-nine 15-day-old male Wistar rats were put into 4 groups randomly. Group 1 was the control group.

An unusual case of lymphedema tarda.

Background: Lymphedema is the result of the equilibrium between the load to be cleared and the transport capacity of the clearing system. Lymphedema may be classified as primary or secondary, based on the underlying etiology. Primary lymphedema is an unusual disorder characterized by inadequate lymphatic drainage.

Hemangioma of the nasal bone: a case report.

Hemangiomas of the bone account for 0.7% of all bone tumors. The craniofacial region is a rare site of involvement, with the mandible, zygoma, and maxilla being the most frequently affected areas.

Morphology of the gluteal region in the female population 5 to 83 years of age.

This study evaluated the development of gluteal region morphology in the female population 5 to 83 years of age. For the study, 132 female subjects were placed into four groups: prepubertal (ages 5 to 8 years; n = 10), pubertal (ages 9 to 14 years; n = 38) postpubertal (ages 15 to 41 years; n = 34), and menopausal-postmenopausal (older than 42 years; n = 29). The age, weight, and height of the subjects were routinely recorded, and body mass index was estimated.

Evaluation by scintigraphy of hindlimb ischemia in a rat model.

The subject of ischemia-reperfusion has commonly been studied in rat hindlimb models. Unfortunately, in these experiments, the ischemia procedures lack standardization. For this reason, the authors evaluated the reliability of rat ischemia models described in the literature using scintigraphy.

The place of fine-needle aspiration in the preoperative diagnosis of the congenital sublingual teratoid cyst.

The term "teratoid cyst" was first used by Meyer in his classification of dysontogenetic cysts of the cervicofacial region, which was based on the type of germinative layers included in the cyst wall. Sublingual location of a dermoid cyst is not common, with an incidence of 1.6%.

Complications of minor cutaneous surgery in patients under anticoagulant treatment.

Anticoagulant use is common in the elderly population. The role of these medications in the postoperative period is not well defined. We designed a prospective study to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications in patients taking aspirin and warfarin.
