Fifteen beagle dogs seven to 15 months of age had 0.5 g of hydroxylapatite in the form of sharp-edged particles (HA-1) or rounded particles (HA-2) implanted in buccal soft tissue pouches. Tissue specimens from each site were obtained at two weeks, six weeks, three months, and six months. A mild inflammatory response was seen at the implant sites with both particle shapes; however, inflammation resolved at a faster rate in the sites implanted with round hydroxylapatite particles.

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.

While abrasions and lacerations are typically easily identified, darker pigmentation of the skin may obscure contusions. Forensic pathology literature shows a disproportionate number of illustrations of contusions on lighter skin tones compared to darker ones. Skin and soft tissue dissection is the most reliable method to confirm contusions.

Purpose: Tendon-to-bone repair remains a surgical challenge. Although bone tunnel fixation is a common surgical technique whereby soft tissue is expected to heal against a bone tunnel interface, contemporary methods have yet to recapitulate biomechanical similarity to the native enthesis. In this study, we aimed to understand how inside-out longitudinal tendon inversion affects bone tunnel healing with the hypothesis that inversion removes the gliding epitenon surface to facilitate interface healing.
