Nuclear Medicine: A Boon to Society
Abstract: AbstractNuclear medicine is a rapidly developing branch of medicine which uses radioisotopes for diagnostic imaging and therapy. All nuclear medicine investigations and therapeutic procedures require highly specialized equipment. Nuclear imaging is a method of producing images by detecting radiation from different parts of the body after a radioactive tracer material is administered. The images are digitally generated on a computer and transferred to a nuclear medicine physician, who interprets the …

Radiation is used in nuclear medicine for damaged tissues or organs treatment by X -Rays
Abstract: Utilizing radioactive particles inside the body, nuclear medicine can diagnose an illness by observing how an organ or tissue is working or by destroying unhealthy or damaged tissue after analysis. The natural environment exposes us to ionizing radiation every day, but additional treatments, such as those resulting from nuclear medicine treatments, may slightly raise the chance of acquiring cancers during later life.To determine the best course of action for your …

An Investigation of Paget Disease for Finding Epithelium in the Cell Tissue for Breast and Nipple Eczema
Abstract: Breast disease is a type of cancer that can manifest externally as eczema with changes in the skin surrounding breast nipple. Sir James Paget identified this disease for the first time in 1874 as a rare condition responsible for 1–4.3% of all breast cancers. The disease also seems benign in it, confined to the skin and is sometimes ignored even if it indicates a symptom of latent breast cancer. Paget's …

Duplication of Great Saphenous Vein (GSV), A Rare Variation: A Case Report
Abstract: Anatomy of great saphenous vein has an importance in varicosity of lower limb and where venous graft is needed. We described unique duplication pattern of great saphenous vein reported in during routine dissection. The incidence of duplication of great saphenous vein is 1.3%. This report will increase awareness in vascular ultrasonologist and clinician about great saphenous vein related to varicosity and venous graft. Key words: great saphenous vein, duplication, Egyptian …

Anatomic Study of Neurofasciocutaneous Flap of Lower Leg
Abstract: Soft tissue defects of lower leg and foot have a high incidence and are not easily healed for its anatomic physiological properties. Moreover, they tend to recur easily after healing with a long duration of disability. Accompanying arteries of the superficial limb nerves supply not only nerves but also skin through their branches, and such close relationship between nerve and skin supplies can ensure the survival of the neurofasciocutaneous flaps. …

Syndesis for the dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint with artificial tendon and therapeutic results.
Abstract: Background: Operation is applied for type 5 acromioclavicular joint dislocation on Rockwood’s classification. We think that use of the artificial tendon best restores the function of the acromioclavicular joint. We tried to correctly reconstruct the anatomy of the acromioclavicular ligaments and describe the treatmet using the artificial tendon.Materials and methods: There were 25 patients; mean age at surgery, 37.2 years. Mean time to surgery was 12.5 days. Mean follow-up was …

Comparison of Lateral and Medial Plate Fixations of Talar Neck Fracture: A 3D-Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: Background: Talar neck fractures are rare, but challenging injuries, because the bone has unique anatomy, and its blood supply makes it difficult to stabilize the fracture and is likely to cause posttraumatic or postoperative complications. Thanks to development of appropriately sized plates, outcomes of plate fixation of talar neck fractures have been improved compared with screw fixation. Although some studies have demonstrated no difference between screw only fixation and screw-plate …

Thermo-Responsive Polymer Blends for Minimally Invasive Medical Procedures
Abstract: Thermo-responsive polymer blends have become a key new class of biomaterials for the minimally invasive medical procedure. They offer precision, flexibility and greater patient safety. These smart materials undergo a change of physical/ mechanical properties relative to temperature difference in the body, limiting tissue trauma and increasing effectiveness of the procedure. Their adjustable sol-gel behavior, shape-memory effects and reversible volume change provides an opportunity for their precise delivery through catheters, …
