The Subject

In this paper we use an electronic component to produce light which is applied in testing soft tissue penetration. We used bio tissue, a slice of apple, and non-bio tissue, paper. The voltage could be adjusted to brighten the light to view the penetration of the subject. The thickness of the tissue was constant and the results showed that the current and voltage were significant as the light penetrated the soft tissue.

Prefabricated ICEROSS (Icelandic Roll On Silicone Socket) sockets have been in use in Iceland since early 1986. Use of custom-made silicone sockets began several years earlier, and a paper devoted to the subject was presented at the 1984 AOPA Assembly by the author of this article. The ICEROSS system is primarily used for suspension. At the same time the author believes it considerably improves the weight-bearing capability of the prosthesis and the interface between prosthesis and user. After being turned inside out and rolled over the stump, the silicone sleeve forces skin in a distal direction, stabilising soft tissue and minimising pistoning. Both prosthetist and user may experience some problems initially, although most can be overcome by careful socket design and skin care.

Tissue Defects

The treatment of extensive soft tissue defects in the thumb with dorsal metacarpal artery flaps has been previously reported in the literature. Island flaps from the dorsum of the index and long fingers have been the subject of many reports and studies. However, when the defect involves the whole thumb, a 360° circumferential defect, standard first or second dorsal metacarpal artery flaps are usually insufficient. There are fewer reports on the use of bilobed flaps for this application and we have found no reports on the use of bilobed racquet flaps or extended seagull flaps as treatment for this condition. We report the salvage of a thumb degloving injury with use of a bilobed racquet flap.

The Subject

The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured of all the tarsal bones. Soft-tissue interposition, usually involving the peroneal tendons, has been reported to block reduction of calcaneal fractures and subtalar dislocations. 3 , 4 , 10 To our knowledge, no case of entrapment of the neurovascular bundle has been reported. This is the subject of our report.

The Subject

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that can be potentially low malignant and mainly affects infants and adolescents. This tumor usually is seen in the skin, soft tissue, and retroperitoneum. This study is a case of KHE in the long bone of the ulna. The subject was a 7-year-old female patient with osteolytic lesion in the forearm without cutaneous lesions. Histologically, the neoplasms comprised of nodules of spindle-to oval-shaped cells that grew in an infiltrative fashion. The results of 2-year follow-up of the patient after enblec resection were desirable and no recurrence was observed. This is the first study to report a case of KHE of the bone in Iran.

Tooth Extractions

Abstract The esthetic benefits are among the main goals of orthodontic treatment; therefore, tooth extractions have been avoided as a protocol for orthodontic treatment because they may impair the facial profile. The present article discusses aspects as the magnitude and response of soft tissue profile due to changes in incisor positioning, and the effect of different sequences of premolar extraction. One case report illustrates the subject, with favorable and stable esthetic and occlusal outcomes five years after orthodontic treatment with extraction of second premolars.

Caryophylliidae Dana, 1846 and Dendrophylliidae Gray, 1847 are families of widespread hard corals (order Scleractinia) composed mainly of azooxanthellate corals. A growing body of molecular data has provided new insights on hard-coral evolution, suggesting that many of the traditionally recognized families are not monophyletic. The morphology of the skeletal parts has been the only source of evidence for the taxonomy of the group for many years. Soft anatomy has been less explored, and recently, with the increased use of molecular evidence, anatomical studies have decreased in importance. As a result, for many taxa, we know little or nothing about variation in soft tissue morphology and their use for systematics has never been explored. In this study we examined the cnidocysts of two species of caryophylliids and of four dendrophylliids, and synthesized previous studies on the subject. We performed a morphological phylogenetic analysis, based on eight informative characters, which includes eight species of dendrophylliids and 11 caryophylliid taxa. Five taxa belonging to the families Poritidae, Flabellidae, and Fungiacyathidae were also scored for these morphological characters. The aims were to investigate the diversity of cnidocysts in members of the two families and test the monophyly of Dendrophylliidae. The data support a dendrophylliid clade and indicate the presence of b-rhabdoids (1) in mesenterial filaments as a synapomorphy of the family. The taxonomic distribution of two other characters contradicts the clade (Dendrophylliidae + Poritidae) suggested by molecular analyses. Our results reinforce the relevance of soft tissue studies in hard-corals to reconstructing their phylogeny.

Frankfort Horizontal Plane

AIM: This study aimed to attempt to introduce a new extracranial horizontal plane of the head (K plane that extends from SN to SAE bilaterally) that could act as a substitute to the Frankfurt horizontal intracranial reference plane; both clinically and radiographically.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The new K plane depended on three points of the head. The first was the soft tissue nasion (NS) on the interpupillary line when the subject looked forward at a distant point at eye level. The other two points were the superior attachments of the ears (SAE).RESULTS: The student “t” test comparing mean values of K/V and FH/V was not significant; -0.21.  The coefficient of correlation between different variables was highly positively significant (r = 0.98 with probability = 0.001).CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this prospective study, the new K plane was found to be both reliable and reproducible. It can be used as a reliable reference plane instead of Frankfort horizontal plane both clinically and radiographically; as it is an accurate tool for head orientation in the natural head position.
