Abstract: Background: Adnexal mass is a mass that arises from the structures that are located close to the uterus like a fallopian tube, ovaries, and surrounding connective tissue. To enhance the diagnostic performance of MRI, various researchers applied newer techniques like Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), spectroscopy, and Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE). We are conducting the present study to assess the diagnostic performance......

Abstract: Background: Neonatal mortality, defined as death within the first 28 days of life, remains a significant public health issue in low- and middle-income regions despite modest improvements in newborn survival rates. Epidemiologic data on neonatal mortality rates and associated risk factors in Rwanda's rural areas are scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of neonatal mortality at Kibilizi District Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study included all newborns admitted to the neonatology unit at Kibilizi District Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. Data were collected from medical records using a structured checklist. Analysis......

Abstract: Background: The surgical treatment of inguinal hernias has evolved through several. Though Lichtenstein's prosthetic repair using prolene mesh has been popular lately, it is not a tissue-based repair and hence cannot be considered ideal. Though this method of hernia repair is simple and safe. Mesh works as a mechanical barrier. It does not give a mobile and physiologically dynamic posterior wall. Suture repair for inguinal hernia is still under development, and Desarda has described an operation where a 1-2cm strip of external oblique aponeurosis lying over the inguinal canal is isolated from the main muscle but attached both medially and laterally and then sutured to the conjoint.......

Abstract: Advances in dentistry and technologies as well as patient's awareness to maintain their dentition have led an easier path for survival of the tooth in the dental arch. Mandibular first molars are considered as prime standpoint for occlusion with a wide pericemental area, unfortunately they are most commonly involved teeth with carious and periodontal diseases. Hemisectionwhich involves the separation and removal of only one root while preserving the other unaffected rootpresents as the best line of therapy, though daunting can be easily achieved and maintained successfully. This case report depicts a clinical situation of a hemisected teeth followed by prosthetic rehabilitation with successful outcomes of an advanced endo-perio lesion.

Abstract: Résumé : La tuberculose pulmonaire est un problème de santé publique. Dans sa forme commune, le diagnostic est habituellement aisé, mais elle peut se présenter sous une forme trompeuse et entrainer un retard diagnostic et thérapeutique. Nous rapportons le cas d'un patient âgé de 80 ans, militaire retraité, sans antécédents médicaux connus, tabagique chronique actif de 60 paquets/année, admis à notre service pour une toux productive évoluant depuis 2 mois, ramenant des expectorations purulentes parfois hemoptoiques, sans fièvre, ni de sueurs nocturnes, anorexie, le tout....

Abstract: Huntington's disorder is an incurable genetic neurodegenerative disorder that affects many people's day-to-day lives, and in the United Kingdom alone, affects an estimated 8,000 people (Balogun et al., 2022). Its prevalence worldwide depends on the lineage of those afflicted – for example, 10 people of European descent per 100,000 are affected, whereas it is rarer in those of Japanese descent (Frank, 2013). Symptoms include those that are psychological, such as difficulties with concentration and memory, mood swings, and those that are physical, such as chorea,....

Abstract: Background: The Tooth Coronal Index (TCI) is a dental measurement used in forensic anthropology to estimate age at death. It is based on the observation that as a person ages, secondary dentin gradually accumulates at the base of the tooth crown, reducing the height of the pulp cavity. The TCI is calculated by dividing the height of the coronal pulp cavity by the height of the crown and expressing it as a percentage. This non-invasive method is particularly useful in cases where other skeletal age indicators are unavailable or unreliable,....

Abstract: The intricate anatomical relationship between the maxillary sinus and the roots of maxillary teeth poses significant challenges and presents unique opportunities in endodontic practice. This article examines the latest advancements in diagnostic imaging technologies and their transformative impact on managing complications associated with the maxillary sinus in endodontics. Traditional imaging methods, such as periapical and panoramic radiography, often lack the necessary detail and accuracy for optimal diagnosis. In contrast, cutting-edge techniques like computed tomography (CT) and emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide superior visualization and a more detailed understanding of sinus pathology. These innovations enable precise diagnosis....

Abstract: Moya Moya disease (MMD) is a chronic condition which involves occlusive cerebrovascular disorder characterised by the gradual narrowing or blockage of the internal carotid arteries and their main branches, leading to the formation of collateral vessels that appear as a "puff of smoke" on angiographic images.(1,2). Autoimmune disorders such as APLS(3) and autoimmune thyroiditis(4) can lead to chronic inflammation of blood vessels, damaging the endothelial cells lining the cerebral arteries and contributing to the progressive narrowing and occlusion characteristic of Moya Moya disease(5) which is defined as moya moya syndrome. A noteworthy case showcases the.....

Abstract: Nicolau Syndrome, also known as skin reaction embolism, is a rare but serious complication associated with the improper conversion of calcium hydroxide during endodontic treatment. This inflammation can cause serious side effects such as blood clots, tissue damage, and skin necrosis once the substance enters the bloodstream. Despite its seriousness, this condition rarely occurs during root canal treatment. Calcium hydroxide has been a mainstay of root canal treatment for many years, but its adverse effects on nearby vital structures pose significant risks........
