Eversion of the third eyelid - EPT, is a condition when the third eyelid rolls back, actually of its margin anteriorally. It occurs almost exclusively in big dog breeds such as the German shepherd, doga, St. Bernard, Newfoundalnder, retrievers, and English bulldogs. Congenital or acquired weakness of the PT cartilage is considered as the main reason for the incidence of EPT. The clinical picture is diverse and it most often depends on the intensity, duration and possible complications. The most prominent sign is a certain degree of EPT. Therapy is based on careful submucous excision of the deformed cartilage, with optional stitching of the conjunctive. The most frequent complication is a repeated eversion of the eyelid, as well as protrusion of the PT gland. The prognosis is good if the preoperative and operative procedure are carried out as required, and the eyelid is not too long. .

Abstract A 10-mo-old baby girl with homozygous beta0 thalassemia and alphaJOxford, presenting the clinical picture of homozygous beta thalassemia is described. Hemoglobin electrophoresis showed three bands: the first two with the mobilities of hemoglobin Hb A2 (1%) and Hb F (69%), respectively, the third migrating a little faster than Hb A (30%). About 30% of her alpha chains were J Oxford which, bound to her gamma chains, produced a new alkali-resistant hemoglobin, alpha2 J Oxford gamma F2, which has not been described previously. Hemoglobin synthesis in vitro showed the absence of beta chain synthesis and an alpha/non-alpha ratio of 2. The patient's father was heterozygous for both the Hb J Oxford and beta0 thalassemia genes, the mother a carrier of beta0 thalassemia; four other relatives were carriers of Hb J Oxford, and one was a carrier of beta thalassemia.

A 10-month-old, male German shepherd dog experienced inadvertent prostatectomy during cryptorchidectomy. Cystourethral anastomosis was performed 1 day later. The dog developed stranguria and incontinence. A proximal urethral stricture was diagnosed with a contrast urethrogram 5 weeks later. Urethral augmentation with an onlay graft of porcine small intestinal submucosa was performed. Urinary diversion was accomplished with a urethral catheter followed by a cystostomy tube. The stricture recurred over the next 6 weeks. Three urethral balloon dilatations were performed 3 days apart, with the third attempt resulting in expansion of the stricture. Twenty-two months postdilatation, the dog intermittently urinated with a steady stream and had mild to moderate urinary incontinence.

✓ Eleven cases of presumed aqueductal stenosis with onset of symptoms after the first decade were reviewed. Ten patients had complete occlusion and one a high-grade stenosis. In 10, the dilated lateral ventricles caused a marked inferior displacement of the third ventricle. Postshunting diagnostic studies on six of these patients revealed ascent of the third ventricle, and in three of these the aqueduct was shown to be patent. It appears that in some cases of advanced communicating hydrocephalus the descending third ventricle kinks or pinches shut the aqueduct, adding an obstructive component which accelerates the clinical picture. The mechanism and clinical features of this process are discussed.

A native-born American infant presented clinical and pathologic features characteristic of pneumonia due to Pneumocystis carinii. Apparently at the present writing this is the second such case to be reported from the United States. Though the clinical picture was distinctive enough to suspect the etiology during life, confirmation awaited pathologic studies. This is the third known case to show a low concentration of gamma globulin as a possible contributory factor. Much remains to be learned about this distressing but apparently quite distinctive pulmonary disease, which may be more common than is now generally appreciated.

Toxic thyroid adenoma is the third leading cause of hyperthyroidism (following Graves-Basedow disease and toxic multinodular goiter). It consists in the presence of a single nodule that autonomously produces thyroid hormones, causing – in time – outlining of characteristic clinical picture of hyperthyroidism. Paraclinical diagnosis involves thyroid hormones assesment and thyroid ultrasound and scintigraphy that show characteristic changes. There are several treatment options and, with correct management, the prognosis is very good.

Philosophical issues with respect to anxiety and its pathological variants arise at the border between everyday and clinical understanding of anxiety, between clinical and scientific approaches and between scientific concepts and the philosophical frameworks they refer to. These four ways of understanding can be seen as epistemic levels that point at different aspects and qualities of anxiety. After a brief historical introduction the three interfaces will be discussed. Philosophical questions at the interface between the first two levels (everyday understanding and clinical knowledge) relate to the issue of where to draw the boundary between normal and pathological manifestations of anxiety and of how to balance the medical view with everyday understandings of anxiety. At the interface between clinical and scientific approaches, the question arises whether scientific theories and models are adequate, more particularly, which aspects of the clinical picture can be explained by scientific theories and concepts. The third interface, between scientific concepts and the philosophical frameworks they presuppose, is the origin of debates about what belongs to science and what should be regarded as meta-theoretical or paradigmatic. To what extent does a particular scientific concept stand on its own and to what extent does it borrow from pre-theoretical and/or philosophical views?

Abstract Background and aims : The biceps brachii is a large fusiform muscle in the flexor compartment of the arm. In terms of the number and morphology of its head, the biceps brachii muscle is one of the most variable muscles in human body. The present study explores the importance of such variations. Materials and methods: The upper limbs of embalmed human cadavers (fixed in 10 % formaldehyde solution) were included in present study. Total 36 (72 upper limbs) cadavers were studied by dissection. Results: Among the 72 superior extremities studied, six (8.33%) arms were found to have a three- headed biceps brachii muscles. The variation was present in the left arm of four males and one female. The variation was present in the right arm of one male. Conclusion : Presence of third head of biceps brachii muscle might increase its kinematics. Supernumerary heads of biceps brachii muscle may become significant in pre-operative procedure and during surgery of upper limb.

Abstract: Pregnancy is a very unique phase on every women marked with complex physiologic changes that can affect the healthiness of the oral cavity. The increased risk of mouth disease on pregnant women can be affected by the surge of estrogen and progesterone that marked by swelling and inflammation on the teeth. The General purpose of this research is to identify the clinical conception of the gingiva on pregnant women on Puskesmas Bahu in Malalayang residency. This research is tend to be observational descriptive with the cross-sectional approach. Population of this research is all the pregnant women that made a visit to Puskesmas Bahu in the period of January to February 2015 with 60 samples. The research on pregnant women can be divided with the scoring of gingiva clinical conception which is 0 for normal and 1 for abnormal on the color, size, contour, consistency and texture of the gingiva. The research result shows that the clinical picture of the gingiva on pregnant women are generally experience changes the texture of the gingiva (75%), followed by the gingiva consistency (73%), contour of the gingiva (58%), color of the gingiva (48%) and the size of the gingiva(43%). On the age category, the highest value of the percentage present on age 36 to 45 years old especially the changes on the texture of the gingiva (86%). On the category of age of the pregnancy, the highest value of the percentage present on the third trimester especially the changes of the the gingival consistency (86%).Keywords: clinical picture of gingiva, pregnant womenAbstrak: Kehamilan ialah masa yang sangat unik pada setiap wanita yang ditandai dengan perubahan fisiologis secara kompleks, sehingga dapat memengaruhi kesehatan rongga mulut. Peningkatan resiko terjadinya penyakit mulut pada wanita hamil dapat disebabkan oleh peningkatan hormon estrogen dan progesteron yang biasanya ditandai dengan pembengkakan dan peradangan pada gingiva.
