Currently, the free fibular flap is well accepted as first choice for mandibular reconstruction. Achieving functional results in pediatric patients requires a different approach than that employed mature patients. Because craniofacial skeleton continues to grow, reconstruction more challenging, and long‐term can be from those of adult In this study, we sought measure growth objectively our series. Ten who underwent with flaps were retrospectively reviewed. Flap was evaluated by comparing...

The most important problem in fat transplantation is the unpredictable rates of resorption. Deferoxamine (DFO) an iron-chelating agent with many useful functions including stimulating angiogenesis and antioxidant nature. purpose study to evaluate effects DFO on graft viability rat model. A total 24 Wistar rats were divided into three groups 0.5 g left inguinal pad was extracted. In control group, grafts implanted parascapular area without performing any procedure. sham they 0.2 mL saline...

Abstract Introduction: Currently, free‐tissue transfers are commonly used for various reconstructive purposes in adults. However, there is a lack of large series free flap reconstruction children, especially oromandibular defects. Our study aims to share our experience free‐flap some challenging pediatric cases. Materials and methods: Pediatric interventions (<18‐year‐old) that were performed between 2000 2006 clinic retrospectively evaluated. Eighteen 17 Epidemiologic data, etiology,...

This study was designed in order to investigate the short term effects of atorvastatin on endothelial function and oxidized LDL (oxLDL) levels evaluate association dysfunction oxLDL inflammatory markers type 2 diabetic patients.Thirty 11 healthy subjects with between 100-160 mg/dl. without a history cardiovascular event were included study. Both groups matched respect age, gender, body mass indices lipid levels. Flow- mediated dilatation (endothelium dependent, FMD) nitroglycerine-induced...

Hereditary hemochromatosis leads to the accumulation of iron in many organs including liver, spleen and heart results injury dysfunction these organs. On other hand, functional impairment kidney is extremely rare. We report a 61-year-old male patient with hereditary hemochromatosis, whom renal function was deteriorated rapidly. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic glomeruli hemosiderin tubular epithelial cells.

<b>Background:</b> Glomus tumor is a common lesion of the subungual area hand fingers. However, glomus tumors located outside region are rare and diagnosis often difficult due to their low incidence lack distinct clinical features in physical examination. The presented article contains five cases extradigital with short review literature. <b>Patients Methods:</b> Five were included study. All lesions purple colored subcutaneous nodules sharp pain by digital palpation. examined ultrasound...

Orbital floor fractures are one of the most commonly encountered maxillofacial due to its weak anatomic structure. Autogenous bone is a used option for reconstruction orbital defects by many authors and institutions. This article introduces olecranon graft as new reconstruction.The study based on analysis 13 patients with fracture operated using graft. The mean age was 34 years 6 months. physical examination 5 (38.5%) revealed diplopia, 3 (23%) gaze restriction, infraorbital nerve...

Congenital nasal abnormalities are very rare in the literature. There 3 reported cases of isolated partial lower lateral cartilage defects. In this article, we report case a patient with congenital complete absence cartilage. The had severe external valve dysfunction and concavity alar vault, even resting position. defect was reconstructed using resected reshaped dorsal hump material. At end 12-month follow-up period, satisfied functional aesthetic results operation. No or internal collapse...

Cinacalcet is a calcimimetic drug that acts via calcium-sensing receptors (CaSRs) and increases the sensitivity of CaSRs on parathyroid gland; thus, it lowers calcium phosphorus levels as well parathormone levels. Prolongation QT interval recognized risk factor for development ventricular arrhythmias sudden death. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are sensitive prolongation torsade de pointes more than normal population. In this study, we aimed to evaluate effects cinacalcet...

Background: Influenza infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in general population. Hemodialysis patients are considered at high risk influenza given their altered immune status. Pandemic virus new for human beings, so it hard to predict the response or vaccination. We aimed evaluate pandemic H1N1 vaccination hemodialysis patients. Methods: A total 70 on chronic 20 controls who had been vaccinated against 5 weeks before time blood sampling were included into this study....

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized with immune complex formation and renal involvement of may include several kinds pathological conditions, but mostly, it associated complex-induced glomerular disease.Pauci-immune nephritis very rare condition.We describe 45-year-old female patient pauci-immune crescentic necrotizing briefly discuss the possible mechanism pathogenesis.

Nasal tip surgery is one of the most important parts rhinoplasty to achieve an attractive nose. There are numerous techniques focusing on correction nasal rotation and projection. In this article, a new cartilage support derived from cephalic border lower lateral cartilages used for adjustment projection, whereas improving supratip fullness presented. Bilaterally harvested extensions resembled as bird's wings dedicated that were created by world's first scientist who flew continent another:...

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and arginase are recently described inflammatory biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible effects of serum Lp-PLA2 mass levels on arginase/nitric oxide (NO) pathway as a risk marker in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Forty-three HD patients 15 healthy subjects were included study. Lipid profile, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), albumin, creatinine, body index (BMI), total...

Thromboembolic diseases are accepted as the most important complications in adult nephrotic syndrome, particularly membranous nephropathy. As renal vein thrombosis is usually seen patients with nephropathy, cerebral venous a very rare condition, which has not been reported previously Although acquired dysfunctions of coagulation and fibrinolytic systems responsible for hypercoagulopathy two common causes hereditary [the mutations factor V Leiden methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)]...

Iron support is an important component of treatment anemia in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, there are concerns about endovenous (EV) iron therapy that may cause endothelial dysfunction (ED) by increasing oxidative stress (OS) and lead to cardiovascular events. In this study, we aimed evaluate the effects high repeated doses EV sucrose on functions acute subacute phases.We included 15 HD patients our study. There were 16 with deficiency but normal kidney control group. We also...

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) may occur with acquired hypercoagulability, however, the fact that it is accompanied by an underlying hereditary thrombophilia, especially combined thrombophilia would lead to thrombotic events. In this study, we aimed evaluate contribution of genetic development events in adult patients NS.Factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation were studied 51 newly diagnosed idiopathic NS age- gender-matched 20 healthy...
