And Function

There is an increase in the number of dentists using orthodontic treatment for anterior tooth alignment. This is either combined with additive bonding or interproximal reduction; knowing “when to” and “how much” requires an understanding of the anterior ratio. This case report explains how to use the anterior ratio to help provide optimal aesthetics and function for the ortho-restorative patient. The anterior ratio is an important diagnostic tool required for both disciplines of orthodontics and restorative dentistry which is often overlooked. The case report demonstrates the use of the Invisalign orthodontic appliance and the corresponding ClinCheck software to help achieve the proposed treatment goals.

Aldosterone Producing Adenoma

Primary hyperaldosteronism is caused by most commonly due to aldosterone producing adenoma(conn’s syndrome) or bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. Clinical features may be of different type which includes hypertension in young age or resistant hypertension, recurrent hypokalaemia and characterized by increased ratio of plasma aldosterone (ng/dl) to rennin (ng/ml per hour) activity. We report a case of young woman presented with hypertension and recurrent hypokalaemia.University Heart Journal Vol. 12, No. 2, July 2016; 102-104

Bark Anatomy

Qualitative features of the secondary xylem of Licaria present a rather uniform structural profile. Constant differences in primarily quantitative characters lead to the formation of speeies groups wh ich loosely correspond to infrageneric sections based on floral and vegetative morphology. This subdivision is strongly corroborated by the highly variable secondary phloem structurc revealing considerable diversity in type and distribution of sc1erenchymatic tissues. Inorganic inclusions in the secondary xylem, crystals and silica, constitute an important diagnostic tool for differentiating certain species and species groups, but are hardly of importance in the bark.

Finger Extension

This is a case report of a fifty-nine-year-old rheumatoid arthritic woman who developed lack in finger extension bilaterally. These deficits had two completely different aetiologies, Posterior Interosseous Nerve (PIN) Syndrome and extensor tendon rupture. No previous report in the literature has used elbow arthrography as a diagnostic tool in a patient with PIN Syndrome. Elbow arthrography confirmed the abnormality at this joint and aided in appropriate management.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from noninfected control cows and from cows with either subclinical or clinical paratuberculosis (Johne s disease). Cells were incubated for 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours in complete medium with the following mitogens: concanavalin A (ConA), phytohemagglutinin-P (PHAP), pokeweed mitogen (PWM), and Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. In addition, cells were incubated for the same time periods with a Mycobacterium paratuberculosis sonicate (MpS) and live and heat-killed M. paratuberculosis at 10:1 bacteria: cell ratio. After incubation, cell-free supernatants were analyzed for y-interferon (γ-IFN) production. Cells from subclinical cows produced significantly higher levels of γ-IFN than did cells from clinical animals after stimulation with mitogens ConA, PHAP, and PWM. Levels of γ-IFN produced by noninfected control animals generally followed the pattern of those of subclinical animals. After incubation with MpS, significantly greater quantities of γ-IFN were produced by cells isolated from subclinical animals than by cells from clinical cows and noninfected controls. Stimulation of cells with heat-killed or live M. paratuberculosis evoked a similar response. This study indicates that γ-IFN production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to M. paratuberculosis antigen may be an important diagnostic tool for the detection of paratuberculosis in subclinically affected animals.
