We report the case of a newborn male admitted on the first day of his life with temporo-occipital swelling detected at birth. Clinical examination showed conscious, hemodynamically and respiratory stable, afebrile, vigorous and responsive newborn; craniofacial examination objectified soft, mobile, temporo-occipital mass covered by the scalp measuring 10 cm along its longer left paramedian axis (A). Craniocerebral CT scan showed large heterogeneous left subgaleal parietal-temporal-occipital mass measuring 40/80 mm, suggesting a tumor of soft tissue components of the scalp (B). The newborn underwent surgery which revealed bilobed tumor of the left temporo occipital soft tissue components, without extension to the cranial or the endocranial vault (C). Complete resection of the two masses was performed (D). Anatomo-pathologic study showed histological and immunohistochemical features of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Staging evaluation was unremarkable. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy was proposed to the patient. At 1-year follow-up the child was asymptomatic and ultrasound examination of the surgical site was unremarkable.

Role of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin in the Management of Soft and Hard Tissue Periodontal Regeneration in Dentistry: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

Background: Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) has the capacity to release great amounts of several growth factors, as well as to stimulate increased fibroblast migration and the expression of collagen, transforming growth factor β, and platelet-derived growth factor. Consequently, i-PRF can be used as a bioactive agent to promote periodontal tissue regeneration.
Objective: We aim to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of i-PRF in periodontal tissue regeneration.

Various new dental treatment methods have been introduced in dental clinics, and many new materials have been used in recent years for dental treatments. Dentistry is divided into several specialties, each offering unique treatments, such as endodontics, implantology, oral surgery, and orthodontics. CT and MR images after dental treatment reveal a variety of hard- and soft-tissue changes and dental materials, which often cause image artifacts.

The bone marrow of immunocompromised patients may exhibit abnormalities due to the underlying disease, adverse treatment effects, and/or complications arising from either source. Such complexity poses a significant diagnostic challenge, particularly in children. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice when evaluating bone marrow in these patients.

As photobiomodulation is growing in the dental field the aim of this prospective, two-arm clinical trial was to assess the radiographic changes for chronic periapical bone lesions related to mandibular molars after primary root canal therapy with or without applying Diode laser on soft tissue. The samples were randomly divided into a Laser group and a mock laser (ML) group. Preoperative CBCT images were compared 12 months later with postoperative CBCT to gauge the changes in the volume of the bony lesion by two observers.

Necrotizing wound infections are potentially lethal complications of surgeries, including cesarean deliveries. A 32-year-old female with obesity and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) underwent uncomplicated cesarean section. Four days later, she developed abdominal pain and imaging showed ascites; she was treated with antibiotics.
