ABSTRACT
Denture markers play an important role in forensic odontology and also in identifying a person. A number of methods are there for identifying dentures from a less expensive technique to a more expensive technique. Out of different denture markers, the bar-coding system is a way of collecting data from the mobile. Even a huge amount of data can be stored in that. It can be easily incorporated during acrylization of the denture and thus could be helpful in identification. This article reviews the strengths of bar-coding and how easily it can be used in the routine procedure.
ABSTRACT
A 56-year-old man was diagnosed to be having enteric fever elsewhere and put on antibiotics. Despite therapy over 3 months, this patient had recurrent bouts of fever with chills, tiredness, and lower abdominal pain, distension, and vomiting with which he was admitted to our hospital. CT abdomen and pelvis showed significant wall thickening in the cecum and terminal ileum, with marked luminal narrowing and marked dilatation of proximal small bowel loops. Clinically a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction was made and the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy. Histopathological examination showed necrotizing enteritis with necrotizing mesenteric lymphadenitis consistent with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. We report a rare and possibly the first case of intestinal obstruction due to Yersinia infection, requiring right hemicolectomy.
