ABSTRACTInjecting phosphatidylcholine has been used in South America as a non-surgical treatment in body contouring. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of injecting phosphatidylcholine in the reduction of localised fat deposits. 86 patients were included in the study. Patients received 1-3 treatments in localised fat deposits in various areas of the body using phosphatidylcholine. After treatment with phosphatidylcholine (250 mg / 5 ml), fat deposits show an average circumferential reduction per application of 2.70 cm. No patient showed irregularities, dimples or any serious side effect after treatment. Results remained stable during the time of follow up. All patients showed remarkable reductions of the fat deposits treated with phosphatidylcholine. Using the correct technique, injecting phosphatidylcholine may be a safe and efficacious alternative to liposuction in patients objecting to surgery.

Abstract: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a type of foot deformities characterized with hindfoot varus, adducted metatarsus, wide arched of the foot (cavus), and equinus. Its incidence is 1.2% per 1000 births annually. Around 80% of cases occur as idiopathic type and the remaining 20% is associated with other anomaly conditions. Genetic component is considered to play a role in the occurrence of CTEV. However, up to this day, there is no exact underlying etiology that defines the exact pathogenesis of CTEV. The evolving etiology nowadays is still multifactorial. Management of CTEV varies from non-surgical treatment to surgical treatment. A number of scoring and grading using qualitative and quantitative measurement are being used nowadays to assess the severity of CTEV because this deformity needs long-term follow-up due to its tendency to relapse.Keywords: congenital talipes equinovarus, clubfoot Abstrak: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), dikenal juga dengan true clubfoot, merupakan deformitas pada kaki yang ditandai oleh adanya bentuk varus kaki belakang, adduksi metatarsus, dan adanya bentuk lengkungan kaki yang lebar (cavus) serta equinus. CTEV merupakan salah satu dari deformitas kaki pada saat lahir dengan insidensi 1,2% per 1000 kelahiran hidup per tahunnya. Pada 80% kasus terjadi secara idiopatik dan 20% dikaitkan dengan kondisi-kondisi lain. Komponen genetik diduga berperan pada CTEV, namun, sampai saat ini, belum ada etiologi pasti yang menjelaskan patogenesis CTEV. Etiologi yang berkembang sampai saat ini bersifat multifaktorial. Tatalaksana pasien CTEV bervariasi mulai dari non-operatif maupun operatif. Sejumlah pengukuran kualitatif maupun kuantitatif telah dikembangkan untuk menilai keparahan CTEV berhubung kondisi deformitas ini membutuhkan follow-up jangka panjang karena mempunyai kecenderungan untuk relaps.Kata kunci: congenital talipes equinovarus, clubfoot

Mechanical surface treatment and removal of the above and subgingival biofilm (Tartar ablation; SRP) are considered the most suitable tools for the treatment of periodontal inflammatory diseases, with the aim of destroying bacterial bioflim, reducing bacteria, and slowing down recolonization by pathogenic microorganisms. Often, however, the only S&RP are not enough, as there are patients who are experiencing relapses. Recently, laser therapy has been suggested as a potential tool to improve the outcome of periodontal non-surgical treatment. The objective of the following study was to evaluate the clinical healing of periodontal pockets treated with mechanical therapy, scaling and root planing, and diode laser application, compared to that obtained with non-surgical mechanical therapy alone. The study was designed as a randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients in the control group (13 patients) underwent conventional non-surgical therapy only, while patients in the test group (17 patients) were associated with conventional non-surgical treatment, a laser irradiation session. At baseline and after 6 months, the parameters of probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival recession (REC) were assessed The main variable of this study was the PD (probing depth) FMPS and FMBS at follow-up improved in both groups. The FMPS baseline test group 32.59 ± 6.74 - follow up 12.00 ± 3.16. The baseline of the control group showed 33.00 ± 9.55, the follow up 13.15 ± 4.85 The FMBS baseline test group found 24.29 ± 5.01 while at follow 9.65 ± 2.69. The baseline control group 30.31 ± 7.74, Follow up 11.08 ± 2.33. There is a statistical significance. (P.VALUE 0.0001) There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of PD, CAL and BOP at baseline and at follow-up. PD Test group 4,89±1,58 3,95±0,85 0,0001 Control group 5,02±1,57 4,01±0,86 CAL (mm)Test group 0,89±2,29 0,77±1,91 Control group 0,28±1,38 0,24±1,14 REC Test group 0,19±0,49 0,19±0,51 Control group 0,06±0,29 0,57±029 BOP Test group 51,2% 23,5% Control group 54,0% 20,9% The results showed differences in both baseline and follow-up for REC. Test group 0,19±0,49 0,19±0,51-Control group0,06±0,29 0,57±029 In intra-group analyzes, there are differences between baseline and follow-up for all values, except for REC in the control group. The diode laser can be used as an appropriate device for periodontal treatments, but it can offer additional and significant benefits if used according to appropriate protocols and parameters, and especially if associated with non-surgical, manual and ultrasound periodontal instrumentation, always site-specific , as it is a tool that does not replace traditional methods.

ObjectivesIn the literature on proximal hamstring avulsions, only two studies report the outcomes of non-surgically treated patients. Our objective was to compare subjective recovery after surgical and non-surgical treatment of proximal hamstring avulsions in a middle-aged cohort.MethodsWe included 47 patients (33 surgically and 14 non-surgically treated) with a mean (SD) age of 51 (±9) years in a retrospective cohort study. Follow-up time mean (SD) of 3.9 (±1.4) years. The outcome variables were the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and questions from the Proximal Hamstring Injury Questionnaire. Outcome variables were adjusted in regression models for gender, age, American Society of Anestesiologits (ASA) classification and MRI findings at diagnosis.ResultsThe baseline characteristics showed no differences except for the MRI result, in which the surgically treated group had a larger proportion of tendons retracted ≥ 2 cm. The mean LEFS score was 74 (SD±12) in the surgically treated cohort and 72 (SD±16) in the non-surgically treated cohort. This was also true after adjusting for confounders. The only difference in outcome at follow-up was the total hours performing physical activity per week, p=0.02; surgically treated patients reported 2.5 hours or more (5.2 vs 2.7).ConclusionThis study on middle-aged patients with proximal hamstring avulsions was unable to identify any difference in patient-reported outcome measures between surgically and non-surgically treated patients. The vast majority of patients treated surgically had complete proximal hamstring avulsions with ≥ 2 cm of retraction. We conclude that to obtain an evidence-based treatment algorithm for proximal hamstring avulsions studies of higher scientific level are needed.

Surgical treatment results for 27 patients with interdigital keratosis of the foot were analyzed. To determine the predisposing factors for keratosis development data of clinical and roentgenologic examination were used. In all cases transcutaneous technique that enabled to avoid surgical intervention directly on a pathologic focus was applied. Mean follow up period made up 6 months. It was shown that transcutaneous surgical intervention was an effective and reproducible method for interdigital keratosis treatment. That technique provided positive results with minimum risk of postoperative complications in the majority of cases and could be used at outpatient department.

To optimize the anatomical and functional surgical treatment results in patients with early (I-II) stages of juvenile femoral head epiphysiolysis both pre- and postoperative data of clinical, x-ray and magnetic-resonance examinations were analyzed for 120 patients aged 11 - 15 years. Maximum follow up period after surgical interventions, i.e. femoral head epiphysiodesis (n=60) and femoral head epiphysis fixation (n=60) made up 23 and 3 years, respectively. It was shown that surgical intervention for the fixation of femoral head epiphysis ensured reliable stability of the epiphysis preventing the latter from displacement development and progression, and did not exert significant influence upon either femoral neck and head endochondral growth or the length of the upper extremity.

Purpose. Improvement of surgical treatment results in patients with benign bone and joint tumors and tumor-like diseases.Materials and methods.Evaluation of the efficacy of plastic collagen containing material for bone defect plasty was performed in 58 Chinchilla rabbits (3-4 kg). In animals from study group the bone defect was filled with collost. Histological examination of the samples was performed in 14, 30, 60 and 90 days after operation. During the period from 2007 to 2015 ninety eight patients, aged 14-75 years, with benign bone and joint tumors and tumor-like diseases were operated on. In all cases postresection defect (1-50 см_) plasty was performed by the proposed combined method that included the use of frozen allograft and collost. During subsequent follow up the potentiality of pathologic process relapse was determined as well as the dynamics of bone structure restoration, extremity function and bone anatomic shape were assessed.Results.Pathomorphologic picture of experimental samples showed that collast accelerated the bone regenerate maturity in the place of a defect. In 1 year after surgery 74 patients (75%) showed good results - in 8 (11.2%), satisfactory - in 62 (84.1%), poor - in 3 (4.7%) cases and in 3 years after operation (57 patients) - 28 (49.1%), 28 (49.1%) and 1 (1.7%) case respectively. Examination of 56 patients (57.1%) in 5 years after intervention revealed good results in 48 (85.4%) and poor - in 8 (14.6%) cases.Conclusion.Study results allow recommending the proposed method of plasty using the allograft and collost for the substitution of vast postresection defects in patients with benign bone and joint tumors and tumor-like diseases.
