Lesions

depends bothon lesion characteristics and physician experience. Usingmultiple techniques, the overall success rate of crossingeven complex (TASC C and D) lesions is expected to be85–95% for experienced operators. (Ye et al, 2011) Angioplasty and Stenting Primary stent placement may minimize vessel recoiland prevent abrupt occlusion, but there is debate overthe relative benefit

Pyogenic granuloma Study guide Classification of lesion: benign reactive connective tissue hyperplasia, tumor like, an inflammatory lesion. Clinical description: red-purple, exophytic, ulcerated lesion which is soft and bleeds easily. Develops rapidly, may be sessile or pedunculated, different sizes. Radiographic description: no radiographic findings in pyogenic granuloma. Common locations: most common: gingiva. Also other areas: lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and hard palate. Etiology (cause): 1

biopsy in order to determine conclusively if there is any cancer causing potential. It is difficult to formally classify oral leukoplakia. It is typically easier to classify it based on what it isn’t. Most definitions of oral leukoplakia call it a lesion,

article: Basic Science and Treatment Options for Articular Cartilage Injuries 2. Explain the purpose(s) of this article: - The ultimate purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the different treatment options for articular cartilage lesions. The authors characterize the treatment objectives as palliative, reparative, or restorative, noting that the various treatment options can overlap in terms of objective. The options described by the authors, along a continuum of palliative to restorative

distributed in the thoracic and abdominal regions as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1A and 1B. Table 1 – Characteristics of blunt lesions detected in Callithrix jacchus The presence of a blunt lesion from hematoma type (bossa) measuring 4.0 cm x 3.0 cm in the frontal region (Figure 1C) and absence of fractures was observed. After removal of organs, a presence of a blunt lesion hematoma type (2.0 cm x 1.5 cm) was detected in the lumbar region between L5 and L7 (Figure 1D). Organs analysis revealed the

the certain pathogenesis is controversial and remains unclear [2]. Repetitive microtrauma, vascular insufficiency, and genetic factors have been implicated as etiological factors for this rare disease [1, 3]. With a high predilection for the knee, lesions can arise in several joints such as the elbow, wrist, ankle, and femoral head [4]. Osteochondritis dissecans typically presents between 10 and 15 years of age, with an estimated incidence of 0.02% to 1.2% [1, 4]. Based on

Melanoma lesions are typically not symmetrical. “B” stands for border. The borders of melanoma are jagged and blurry, usually with no definitive end. “C” represents color. Melanoma varies in color within the lesion and can be tan, brown, black, red, blue, or white. “D” or diameters in melanoma lesions are usually larger than an eraser on a pencil, about 6 mm. “E” corresponds to evolution. Evolution is characterized by any change happening within a lesion, or growth of a satellite lesion (Calianno

The lesions that form first as spots on the skin. The lesions are usually purple, red, or brown. They can be flat and not raised which is called patches. The lesions can be flat but slightly raised called plaques. The lesions of Kaposi sarcoma can also be bumps called nodules. The lesions can appear in almost any area but are more common on the legs, groin area, or face. Lesions can also develop on mucous membranes such as in the mouth, throat

the lesions that required pre-intervention identification of the vascular feeder. This may explain why more common groups as LM did not appear at all in this study and also could explain why the relatively rare facial AVMs appeared three times more than hemangioma. TRICKS MRA was accurate in detection of the feeding arteries at the periphery of all hemangiomas included in the study. One hemangioma at the peri-orbital region showed multiple arterial feeders & surgical excision of the lesion was

SLAP Lesion Tear A SLAP lesion tear is an injury to the shoulder. This can cause painful symptoms and difficulty with overhead activities whether they be athletic or those of daily living. In 1985, Andrews et al were the first to describe the superior labrum tear. In their experience, they identified tears of the labrum from throwing athletes located anterosuperor near the origin of the bicep tendon. The cause of the lesion to tear was the bicep tendon being pulled off the labrum from the force
