Objective: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with central giant cell granulomas (CGCGs) and peripheral giant cell granulomas (PGCGs) in Iranian population.Methods: The data were obtained from records of 1019 patients with CGCG and PGCG of the jaws referred to our department between 1972 and 2010. This 38-year retrospective study was based on existing data. Information regarding age distribution, gender, location of the lesion and clinical signs and symptoms was documented. Results: A total of 1019 patients were affected GCGLs including 435 CGCGs and 584 PGCGs during the study. The mean age was 28.91 ± 18.16. PGCGs and CGCGs had a peak of occurrence in the first and second decade of life respectively. A female predominance was shown in CGCG cases (57.70%), whereas PGCGs were more frequent in males (50.85%). Five hundred and ninety-eight cases of all giant cell lesions (58.7 %) occurred in the mandible. Posterior mandible was the most frequent site for both CGCG and PGCG cases. The second most common site for PGCG was posterior maxilla (21%), whereas anterior mandible was involved in CGCG (19.45%). The majority of patients were asymptomatic. Conclusions: In contrast to most of previous studies PGCGs occur more common in the first decade and also more frequently in male patients. Although the CGCGs share some histopathologic similarities with PGCGs, differences in demographic features may be observed in different populations which may help in the diagnosis and management of these lesions.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(2) 2016 p.220-223

Global Public Health Problem

Pandu Roga is one of the diseases mentioned in Ayurveda characterized by the changes in the skin colour to white (Shweta), yellowish (Peeta), greenish (Harita) etc. which is one of the “Varnopalakshita Roga" i.e., a disease characterized by the change in the colour. The clinical condition of Pandu in Ayurveda can be co-related with Anaemia described in Modern Medical Science, due to the resemblance in the clinical signs and symptoms. In Modern Medicine, Pandu is a pale appearance which may be due to the decreased blood supply to the skin or de- creased visibility of oxyhemoglobin. Anaemia is a major global public health problem and the most prevalent nu- tritional deficiency disorder in the world. This article presents the Ayurvedic concept of Pandu Roga (Anaemia).

Abstract Background A traumatic bone cyst is an uncommon nonneoplastic lesion of the jaws that is considered as a “pseudocyst” because of the lack of an epithelial lining. This lesion is particularly asymptomatic and therefore is diagnosed by routine dental radiographic examination as a unilocular radiolucency with scalloped borders, mainly in the posterior mandibular region. The exact etiopathogenesis of the lesion remains uncertain, though it is often associated with trauma. Case presentation We report three Persian cases of traumatic bone cyst with different clinical and radiographic features, and we present a review of the literature to further discuss diagnostic and treatment challenges. Only one of the three patients reported a history of trauma, and despite the usual signs and symptoms of the lesion, extension of the defect to the ramus, swelling of the lingual cortex, and their unusual presence in the anterior mandible were noted in these patients. Conclusions Because features of this cyst can be varied, careful history taking and radiographic evaluation alongside the clinical signs and symptoms have a very significant role in definitive diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and accurate assessment of prognosis.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

The diagnosis of AIN is performed by the evaluation of clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory tests, radio imaging and biopsyas a gold standard. In most cases, biopsy wasn't performed because it is invasive for the patients, while the diagnosis is just based onthe clinical sign and symptom, and the immunosuppressive therapy is carried out only after the biopsy. Eosinophyluria found in theAIN patients is the parameter that can be measured non invasively, so that urine eosinophyl test was suggested for the diagnosis/earlydetection of AIN. That background cause us to analyze the urine eosinophyl count in suspected AIN patients. A cross sectional studywas conducted from June to August 2008 on 50 suspect AIN patients and 50 of non AIN at the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology,dr.Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar. Urine eosinophyl test performed by Hansel method, samples were analyzed with SPSSfor Windows version 12.0 using T test and Chi-square test. From 50 suspect AIN patients, they consist of 50% men and 50% womenwith the age distribution between 4 and 72 years old. T test analysis showed that the urine eosinophyl count was higher in suspect AIN(2.820 ± 1.955) compare with the non AIN (0.620 ± 0.923), p < 0.001. The Chi-square test showed that there was a significantrelation between eosinophyluria of the suspect AIN patients. That means there is a significantly relation between eosinphyiluria withthe suspect AIN group, where was found the higher urine eosinophyl compare to those non AIN patients. From this study so far, it canbe suggested that urine eosinophyl test can be used for the diagnosis/early detection of AIN.

The role of infection in the etiology of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is poorly understood. Large-scale epidemiological descriptions of the histology and microbiology of BRONJ are not found in the literature. Herein, we present a systematic review of BRONJ histology and microbiology (including demographics, immunocompromised associations, clinical signs and symptoms, disease severity, antibiotic and surgical treatments, and recovery status) validating that infection should still be considered a prime component in the multifactorial disease.
