Quantitative assessment of root resorption in TAD-aided anchorage with and without RAP: A CBCT study on en masse retraction cases.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of root resorption with mini implant-aided anchorage, with and without inducing the regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) in en masse retraction cases using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: Thirty patients requiring therapeutic extraction of all first premolars were included in the study and randomly divided into two groups of fifteen patients each (groups I and II). Patients of both groups underwent retraction using mini implants.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis aggravated by goitrogenic diet presenting as rhabdomyolysis worsened by alcohol intake.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common form of primary hypothyroidism. Several muscular manifestations like pain, weakness, stiffness and elevated muscle enzymes have been noticed in hypothyroidism. Alcohol is also known to cause myositis and rhabdomyolysis.
