There were 280 male and 120 female patients. 378 patients had no postoperative septal perforation. 22 had perforation after surgery. Of the patients in the perforated group, 19 male and 3 female were female. 21 of these patients smoked, 1 patient did not drink. 11 of these patients were drinking alcohol and 10 of them did not drink alcohol. Transseptal suturation + nasal saturation splint was used in 14 patients to stabilize the septum while perforation rate was 22/400 (1.3%). Male sex ratio was...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of different irrigation solutions on the microshear bond strength of a universal adhesive system applied in etch & rinse mode and self-etch mode to dentin- enamel junction (DEJ), coronal dentin, pulp chamber dentin, and floor of the pulp. As well as a highly adequate apical seal, an effective coronal seal, is one of the primary goals of a successful endodontic dental treatment. Recently, a large number of adhesive systems have been...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: September 09, 2019
Convulsive Syncope can be difficult to distinguish from seizures at times. We present a young adult with cardiogenic convulsive syncope that mimic seizures. Continuous cardiac monitoring revealed various arrythmias during seizure like activity. She had a viral prodrome. Cardiac MRI was diagnostic for myocarditis. More detailed studies for the role of a noninvasive cardiac testing such as Cardiac MRI (CMR) and newer treatment modalities such as anti-thymocyte immunoglobulin are required for the m...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: September 04, 2019
Chronic wounds fail to progress through the phases of wound healing; inflammation-proliferation-remodelling which are usually the result of persistent infection, malperfusion due to periwound hypoxia, cellular failure, and unrelieved pressure or repetitive trauma. In this report, we present a different rare cause of a chronic wound; a surgical incision on a post-burn scar during the surgery of transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) because of urethral stricture. After six weeks, the sur...
