Evaluation of patient satisfaction with pharyngeal airway changes after orthognathic surgery in patients with Class III skeletal anomalies.

Purpose: The aims of our study were to determine the changes in the pharyngeal airway after treating patients with Class III malocclusion who received double jaw surgery, to determine the hard tissue and soft tissue parameters and the hyoid bone and tongue positions after surgery, to determine the changes to compare the pretreatment and post-treatment measurements of the patients in the double jaw group with the measurements of the control group patients, and to evaluate postoperative patient satisfaction.

Materials And Methods: The study included thirty-two Class III adult patients that received double jaw surgery and twenty-five Class I patients. Cephalometric records were taken before treatment (T1) and after treatment (T2).

Having Multiple Renal Cysts in a Young Adult is not Always a Sign of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Multiple renal cysts in adult patients could have asymptomatic, benign and a nonprogressive course. However, these cysts could be renal features of a very rare hereditary, progressive syndrome defined as cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED or Sensenbrenner syndrome). Affected patients show dysmorphic features such as craniosynostosis, nail dystrophy, cutaneous dyshydrosis, dry or scaly palmar skin, trichodysplasia, deafness, pectus excavatum, telecanthus, hypertelorism, low set ears, everted lower lip, anteverted nares, short neck and height, joint laxity, inguinal hernia, widely spaced teeth, microdontia, hypodontia in addition to nephronophthisis.

Solid Renal Mass in a Transplanted Allograft Kidney: Mucinous Tubular and Spindle Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Renal transplantation is the main treatment for end-stage kidney disease. Transplantation reduces the mortality rate and increases life quality in this population but cancer in allograft kidney is a major problem. Here, we report a 39-year male who had renal transplantation 10 years ago.
