... Abstract Background: Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) have been applied for pathologies across the entire anterior skull base. Olfactory groove meningiomas are tumors of the anterior base that present significant challenges. Objectives: To evaluate the surgical techniques, challenges...

... Abstract Groove pancreatitis (GP) is often diagnosed in middle-aged alcoholic men presentingnausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain and jaundice due to common bile duct stricture andduodenal stricture. Due to the absence of ultrasonographic and radiographic evidence of cancerand no definitive...

... Abstract Objective and Importance: Anosmia is a frequent complication of surgical treatment of olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs). The loss of olfaction can significantly impact on patient quality of life. We present 3 patients with incidentally discovered small OGMs whowere treated...

The key cytological features, ancillary studies, and differential diagnoses will also be discussed. Solid pancreatic lesions often present incidentally due to the widespread use of modern...

.... The intra-articular portion is found in the rotator interval [ 3 ] and is considered extrasynovial because it is contained within an invaginated envelope of synovial membrane [ 4 ]. It becomes extra-articular once in the bicipital groove. Arthroscopic view of LHBT (a) in biceps sling (b...

The NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is the key enzyme for synthesis of a complementary minus-strand RNA using...

... of largepeptides that can enter the mucosa and be toxic for thepatients. There is now definitive evidence that the toxicity ofgluten-derived peptides is largely due to their capacity tobind the peptide groove of HLA-DQ2 and DQ8, two relatedHLA molecules that confer the major genetic risk. Glutenpeptides can...

..., six pairs of arches called brachial arches develop on the ventral side, and five pairs of brachial grooves develop between each brachial arch (fig. 1 a). At the same time, five pairs of dents called brachial pouches develop on the endodermal side, which later differentiate into the pharynx [ 1...

The height of a scleral buckle has to be greater if substantial vitreous tractions are associated with the tears, and lower if there are minimal tractions. The height is affected by the choice of the buckle: radial wedge...

... modifications aimed to bury the externalised suture leaving no exposed free ends [ 40 - 42 ]. We reported the technique described in this chapter in 1996 [ 43 ]. It eliminates the free suture end, leaving all sutures buried but still accessible by the use of corneal grooves. The use of releasable sutures...
