Anatomical differences in the right and left renal arterial patterns
(2008)
The aim of this study was to determine the pattern and character of the renal arteries in patients referred for preoperative or diagnostic evaluation of the renal or abdominal arteries by multi-detector computed tomography ...
Anatomy of the collecting system of lower pole of the kidney in patients with a single renal stone: a comparative study with individuals with normal kidneys.
(2010)
At least 5% of women and 12% of men during their lives will experience renal colic, at least once. Many theories have been suggested for the etiology of renal stones and variations in the anatomy of the collecting system ...
A complex dural-venous variation in the posterior cranial fossa: A triplicate falx cerebelli and an aberrant venous sinus
(2007)
Variations of the dural folds and the dural venous sinuses are seldom reported in the extant medical literature. Such variations in the posterior cranial fossa may be problematic in various diagnostic and operative procedures ...
A wandering spleen presenting as a pelvic mass: Case report and review of the literature
(2007)
Wandering spleens are rare clinical entities found more commonly in females. We report a young female patient found to harbour a pelvic spleen. The literature regarding this rare ectopia is reviewed. The wandering spleen ...
An inverse relation between CagA+ strains of Helicobacter pylori infection and risk of erosive GERD
(2008)
Objective: The aim of this study is investigating the association of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and its cytotoxic-associated gene A (cagA) strain with reflux esophagitis. Methods: In a case-control setting ...
A comparative scanning electron microscopic study of the effect of three different rotary instruments on smear layer formation.
(2009)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of RaCe, FlexMaster and ProFile rotary instruments on smear layer formation by scanning electron microscopy. Eighty-four caries-free freshly extracted human single-rooted ...
A comparative study of lung masses with 99mTechnetium Sestamibi and pathology results
(2007)
Bronchial carcinoma is the leading cause of death from cancer in most countries. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the ability of 99mTechnetium Sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) SPECT in differentiating benign from ...
A rare variation of the posterior cranial fossa: Duplicated falx cerebelli, occipital venous sinus, and internal occipital crest
(2006)
Folds of the meningeal layer of the dura mater, the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli, traverse the vertebrate intracranial cavity and thus compartmentalise the brain. The falx cerebelli, another dural fold, is found ...
A rare variation of the vertebral artery
(2006)
Variations of the vertebrobasilar arterial complex are important with regard to their potential clinical impact, We present an unusual case of the vertebral artery, in which the left vertebral artery in its ascent in the ...
A rare variation of the inferior alveolar artery with potential clinical consequences
(2005)
Variations of the inferior alveolar artery are seemingly quite rare, especially with regard to its origin from the maxillary artery. We present an unusual case of an inferior alveolar artery that originated from the external ...
