role of radiology in anterior shoulder dislocation

Glenohumeral bone defects are a typical finding in shoulder dislocation and they are intensely connected with the reappearance of dislocation and failure following arthroscopic Bankart repair. Advanced imaging assessment should subsequently be performed in order to recognize, quantify and portray the bone defects. Despite the fact that magnetic resonance has significant value in the appraisal of the glenoid labrum and rotator cuff, computed tomography scan is the examination of choice for studying bone defects. The imaging methodology selected for shoulder dislocation relies upon its accessibility and the treatment plan for a specific patient. Radiography is economical and is promptly accessible. It ought to be executed as the underlying imaging examination in patients giving a clinical issue identified with the shoulder. It complements the other advanced methods and gives an outline of the bony components of the shoulder joint. In few patients, radiography obviates additional imaging

Comparison of immediate complete denture, tooth and implant-supported overdenture on vertical dimension and muscle activity

PURPOSE: To compare the changes in the occlusal vertical dimension, activity of masseter muscles and biting force after insertion of immediate denture constructed with conventional, tooth-supported and Implant-supported immediate mandibular complete denture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients were selected and treatment was carried out with all the three different concepts i.e, immediate denture constructed with conventional (Group A), tooth-supported (Group B) and Implant-supported (Group C) immediate mandibular complete dentures. Parameters of evaluation and comparison were occlusal vertical dimension measured by radiograph (at three different time intervals), Masseter muscle electromyographic (EMG) measurement by EMG analysis (at three different positions of jaws) and bite force measured by force transducer (at two different time intervals). The obtained data were statistically analyzed by using ANOVA-F test at 5% level of significance. If the F test was significant, Least Significant Difference test was performed to test further significant differences between variables. RESULTS: Comparison between mean differences in occlusal vertical dimension for tested groups showed that it was only statistically significant at 1 year after immediate dentures insertion. Comparison between mean differences in wavelet packet coefficients of the electromyographic signals of masseter muscles for tested groups was not significant at rest position, but significant at initial contact position and maximum voluntary clench position. Comparison between mean differences in maximum biting force for tested groups was not statistically significant at 5% level of significance. CONCLUSION: Immediate complete overdentures whether tooth or implant supported prosthesis is recommended than totally mucosal supported prosthesis.

[ effect of olive oil on blood pressure, sugar and lipid profile]

The present study was done to evaluate the beneficial effect of olive oil on BP, blood sugar and lipid profile in 16 patients suffering from NIDDM [Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes mellitus] associated with risk factors involving hyperlipidaemia and blood pressure in Mosul population. The period of the study was as long as two months and the dose of olive oil was tablespoonful three times daily. Blood presure, blood sugar, total cholesterol, total triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were evaluated before [baseline] and after olive oil administration. The study showed a statistical significant reduction of the all measured parameters after olive oil administration. In the meantime BP, blood sugar, total cholesterol, total triglyceride, and LDL-cholesterol were dropped to normal values in 4 [44%], 4 [50%], 7 [46%], 6 [100%] and 7 [46%] patient, respectively. This study was concluded that olive oil administration be effective in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia and elevated BP, and may be administered as adjunctive to the primary therapy of such disorders
