5 years Poodle was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chonnam National University in January 1997, with progressive swelling on the rear xiphoid process after cesarean section last year in local-vet clinic. Physical, radiographic, ultrasonographic and intraoperative findings that were obtained from this case were as follow; Physical findings were known as no pain, no fever in the hernia] sal at palpation. Radiographic findings revealed the decreased density of swelling contents more than peritoneum and did not identify the abdominal wall defect line. Ultrasonographic findings showed abdominal wall defect line of 3mm and intra-abdominal originated fat contents with mixed echo(hypoechoic). During the operation, falciform ligament into the hernial sac was observed and not excised, manipulated back into the cavity. The dog was given an herniorraphy with no recurrence and infection.

This patient, 30 year-old korean male, was admitted with complaints of the gingival enlargement and spontaneous bleeding of the gingival tissue with acute leukemia. In reviewing this case, the following points should have been understood; 1. This is a case of the gingivitis, gingival enlargement, gingival bleeding, so the patient showed the masticatory disturbances. 2. The generalized weakness, petechia in skin, anemia, and hepatomegaly on palpation were seen. 3. With the histopathological examination by means of microscopic views, numerous myelocytic cells, of which their shapes were in irregular, were appeared. 4. The prognosis was poor in spite of any other internal treatments.

Odontogenic maxillofacial space abscess in childeren was treated by the surgcal intervention combined with antiboitic therapy. Followings are the results after monitoring its progression. 1. Maxillofascial space abscess is mainly from the odontogenic infection and it may result in the severe states with the various fascial spaces and their relatives. So their early detection and treatment are needed. 2. The most common symptom in patients was the pain under palpation with painful swelling and the mouth floor elevation was observed in the sublingual space abscess. 3. In most cases, for its treatment, symptomatic therapy, antibiotic therapy, surgical incision and drainage were executed. If the infected tooth is possibly conserved, endodontic treatment is preferred, otherwise, it will be extracted as soon as possible.

A 39-year-old male presented with severe pain in right posterior mandibular teeth and temporal area. Initially, the pain in the mandibular teeth was moderate, but the concomitant headache was unbearably severe. His medical history was non-contributory. The clinical and radiographic examination failed to reveal any pathology in the region. There was no tenderness to palpation in the temporalis and masseter muscles or temporomandibular joints. The clinical impression was migraine. The pain in the teeth and headache were aborted using ergotamine tartrate and sumatriptan succinate. Atenolol prevented further pain, while amitriptyline and imipramine had no effect. Migraine can present as non-odontogenic pain in the mandibular teeth, although not as frequently as in the maxillary teeth. A correct diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary dental treatments and to manage pain effectively. Clinicians should be able to identify migraine with non-odontogenic dental pain and establish a proper diagnosis through a comprehensive evaluation.

Diagnostic evaluation methods frequently adopted in Temporomandibular Balancing Medicine (TBM) are briefly reviewed as to their basic concepts and procedures. TBM diagnostic evaluation methods may be classified into direct and indirect ones. Indirect methods are to observe any change in the manifestations with regard to the (1) posture, (2) pain, (3) muscle strength, and (4) stretching. Direct methods are to evaluate through (1) cervical palpation test, (2) restricted cervical rotation test, and (3) lateral cervical tension test. These methods may provide clinicians valuable information on the current yinyang balance and potential therapeutic factors in relation with the temporomandibular joint, a meridian system, and the whole body.

Classic anesthetic techniques for the inferior alveolar nerve, lingual nerve, and long buccal nerve blockade are achieved by estimating the intended location for anesthetic deposition based on palpation, inspection, and subsequent correlation for oral anatomical structures. The present article utilizes computed tomography (CT) data to 3D print a guide for repeatable and accurate deposition of a local anesthetic at the ideal location. This technical report aims to anatomically define the ideal location for local anesthetic deposition. This process has the potential to reduce patient discomfort, risk of nerve damage, and failed mandibular anesthesia, as well as to reduce the total anesthetic dose. Lastly, as robotic-based interventions improve, this provides the initial framework for robot-guided regional anesthesia administration in the oral cavity.

Objectives: Huangdineijing, the major classic of Oriental Medicine, preserves several precedent diagnostic classics and it's methods. Qihaishu (奇咳術), is a name of such classic, and the name of it's essential method at the same time. Up to now, the whole features of that method has not been unveiled. In the present thesis, I presented some clues to figure out the method - Qihaishu. Methods: By comparison of some articles in Canggongliechuan (in Shiji) (史記倉公列傳) to those of Huangdineijing Suwen (黃帝內經素問), I reconstructed the diagnostic steps of Qihaishu. Results: It was proved that Qihaishu method was carried by comparison of left and right arterial pulse under the Wuxing (五行) context. Conclusion: Qihaishu is not a set of knowledge describing the features of diseases, but a pulse palpation method to get prognosises.

A 6-year old, Greyhound bitch was presented with vaginal hemorrhage and dystocia. Physical examination revealed severe vaginal hemorrhage, abdominal pain, pale mucous membranes and the presence of solid structures to abdominal palpation. A hematological test revealed a marked hemorrhagic anemia, and abdominal radiography and ultrasonographic examination showed two dead fetuses in the uterus. Median laparotomy revealed a rupture of the left uterine horn adjacent to the bifurcation, region of weakened uterine wall in the right uterine horn, blood clots and uterine fluids in abdominal cavity without septic peritonitis. The bitch underwent ovariohysterectomy and recovered without complication.

A revascularization procedure was shown to be the best alternative therapy for immature teeth with necrotic pulp and apical infection. A 12 year old female with a history of trauma to her upper central incisor and a sinus tract was referred for endodontic treatment. She was an active orthodontic patient and had undergone regenerative endodontic treatment for the past 2 years. Clinical examination revealed no response to sensibility, percussion, and palpation tests. The preoperative radiograph showed an open apex and apical rarefaction. The case was diagnosed as previously treated tooth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Regenerative endodontic retreatment was performed, and the case was followed for 3 years. Clinical, radiographic, and cone-beam computed tomography follow-up examination revealed an asymptomatic tooth, with evidence of periapical healing and root maturation.

Although lobectomy remains the gold-standard surgical treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer, the frequency of thoracoscopic segmentectomy is increasing. Multiple factors must be considered in the choice of the procedure, ranging from adequate surgical planning or simulation, tumor localization, and identification of the intersegmental plane to severing the intersegmental plane to achieve an oncologically safe surgical margin with no or minimal manual palpation and different landmarks. In this article, we present an overview of methods for each procedural step of thoracoscopic segmentectomy, from preoperative planning to division of the intersegmental plane.
