A literature review reveals that gout has been described as affecting many sites in the head and neck region, both in the arthritic and tophaceous form. Gout can often mimic malignancy or infection, and has been described as causing acute airway problems requiring emergency tracheotomy. Here we describe the first published case of tophaceous gout affecting the soft tissues overlying the nasal bones. The patient presented with a bony, hard, dorsal hump and requested aesthetic rhinoplasty.We also describe an endoscopic technique for removal of tophi using a powered microdebrider system with a protected burr head. Endoscopic powered microdebrider blade excision of tophi affecting the limbs has already been described, with reduced complications when compared with conventional curettage and debridement techniques. This is the first such application to the nose.

Dental lamina cysts and natal/neonatal teeth are rare findings in a neonate with the dental lamina cysts presenting as white or pink small nodules, often multiple, approximately 1 to 3mm in diameter. They are usually located on the alveolar mucosa of both maxilla and mandible and also on the midpalatine raphe; the whitish colored lamina cysts found on the alveolar mucosa can be confused clinically with neonatal teeth. Neonatal teeth are teeth found in infants within the first 30 days of life, and they present a social stigma to the parent. They have been reported to be a component of the full complement of teeth in 90-95% of cases. Apart from the social stigmata, they can also induce trauma to surrounding soft tissues and / or to the mother’s breast (Riga-Fede phenomenon). While the dental lamina cysts usually resolve spontaneously within few weeks to months, there are indications that might preclude extraction of a natal/neonatal tooth.Keywords: Dental lamina cyst, Epstein’s pearls, Mucosal cyst, natal/neonatal tooth

Currently a wide range of instruments for surgical procedures on the bony structures of the orbits is offered. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Cutter causes less injury, in comparison with a chisel or an ultrasonic saw [15]. In using a drill during surgery there was an increase in temperature of bone edge of the opening above acceptable values [17]. The use of low frequency ultrasonic tools allows you to create holes in the bones of any desired size and shape with smooth edges [5, 11, 16, 20]. The disadvantages of this method include the heating of tool’s tip up to 140° during prolonged continuous action [6]. Thus, techniques using tools for formation of the bone window require further study and improvement. Aim: to compare surgical equipment for bone window formation in modeling an orbital decompression. Materials and methods. In an experimental study in vivo, 12 surgical interventions on the scapula on both sides were performed in 6 Chinchilla breed rabbits. On the right side, the formation of a bone window was carried out by the ultrasonic bone scalpel MISONIX, on the left side - by a drill. Results. It was found that during first 7-21 days there was more pronounced inflammation of soft tissues on the left side. At the same time, delayed proliferation and maturation of fibrous connective tissue was observed in comparison to the opposite side. Bone tissue inflammation and subsequent regeneration took place without significant differences on both sides. The experiment showed that the use of ultrasonic scalpel in flat bones creates less inflammation of surrounding tissues and the bone itself as compared to a diode laser. A.V. Kravchenko (2006) reports that, after exposure to a diode laser in an acute experiment there was a scalloped edge with an area of photocarbonization (charring) on the 7th and the 21st day; while the use of an ultrasonic scalpel did not create any signs of infiltrative inflammation, later on a nonspecific inflammation developed. Conclusion. Ultrasonic scalpel has a number of advantages when performing osteoperforation, such as time-saving during surgical procedure, control of the osteotomy process, less trauma to surrounding tissues during action and less pronounced inflammatory response of the wound during early postoperative period.

This work is related to the hyperelastic models most used in soft tissue. The importance of obtaining accurate mechanical properties of tissues are of great interest for various medical applications, for example: in treatment of diseases and surgical simulations in real time. The aim of this literature review is to evaluate the models used for proposing a mathematical formulation and modelling the mechanical behaviour of a sequence of layers of soft tissues and your reply to undergo external actions of mechanical nature, in order to improve the techniques of characterization of soft tissues.Keywords: Biomechanical, Hyperelasticity, Mechanical Properties, Nonlinear elasticity, Soft Tissues.
