    Notes: Abstract From August 1992 to July 1996, 57 patients with closed femoral fractures were treated by external fixator in the Orthopaedic and Traumatology Clinics, School of Medicine, Dicle University. The technique was applied to children with closed femoral fractures. Their mean age was 6 (range 4–12) years old. The mean hospitalisation period was 8 (range 5–15) days. Fixators were removed on an average of 55 (range 38–79) days. The mean follow-up period was 18 (range 9–36) months. Pintract infection was observed in 3 and refracture in 1 patient. Infection was controlled with oral antibiotics and local dressing. An external fixator was applied to a patient in whom refracture developed. No patient had malunion, nonunion, or leg length discrepancy. We propose that external fixation in closed femoral shaft fractures of children could be a rational alternative mode of therapy, since it has some advantages and can be easily removed without undergoing a second round of anaesthesia.

    Notes: Summary  We describe a rare case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with craniofacial localization associated with involvement of the spine and extremities. A 14-year-old girl presented with progressive headache, left frontal swelling, exophthalmos of the left eye, deformity and palpable mass in the left frontal area. Cranial computerized tomography revealed extensive involvement of all cranial bones except right frontal and right parietal bones. Most of the facial bones were invaded. Especially, there was the involvement of ethmoidal air sinuses and frontal sinus also. Computerized tomography showed left frontal lobe compression. In addition, the spine and bones of the extremities were involved in the patient. Craniofacial approach was planned. Cranial surgery was performed by an extradural frontal approach. Firstly, the frontal cyst was excised. For left frontal lobe decompression, we removed successfully all the abnormal bones causing mass effect and frontal deformity. Secondly, facial surgery was performed with external approach. An attempt to remove all of the involved bone is necessary, as the lesion may recur and grow if a portion of dysplastic bone is left in place. However, the present case suggests that removal of all the involved bones in the polyostotic fibrous dysplasia may be possible in spite of extensive involvement. In this situation, it may be removal of only abnormal bones responsible for compression of affected neural elements is indicated.

    Notes: Abstract We report a rare instance of caudal agenesis occurring in siblings, with MRI. Both our patients had a club-shaped spinal cord, ending at T11. Radiological and urological findings are presented.

    Notes: Abstract Background: This study was designed to assess differences between pre- and postoperative herniography and ultrasonography in inguinal hernia performed laparoscopically with balloon dissection and mesh without suture. Methods: Pre- and postoperative herniographic and ultrasonographic findings were analyzed in ten consecutive patients. Postoperative ultrasonography was performed on the 3rd and 7th days and herniography was performed on the 7th day. Results: Following the operation both the herniography and ultrasonography were almost normalized to a great extent in nine patients. Overall, minimal impaired continence was recorded by herniography in one patient. Also, we detected nonspecific soft-tissue thickening at the operation site in ultrasonographic examination in four patients. Conclusions: As for inguinal hernias, compared with other operative modalities of treatment, laparoscopic hernia repair with extraperitoneal balloon dissection and mesh without suture is a highly successful procedure and its minimal morbidity is well accepted by the patient.

    Notes: Abstract Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were performed on the complexes with general formula (M(DEBT)n (where M =Fe, Co, Ni, Cu or Ru; n =2, or 3 and DEBT=N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoylthiourea). Derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves were also recorded in order to obtain decomposition data on the complexes. The complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Ru(III) displayed two- or three-stage decomposition patterns when heated in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. Mass loss considerations relating to the decomposition stages indicated the conversion of the complexes to the sulfides or to the corresponding metal alone (Cu, Ru, NiS, CoS or FeS). Mathematical analysis of the TG and DTG data showed that the order of reaction varied between 0.395 and 0.973. Kinetic parameters such as the decomposition energy, the entropy of activation and the pre-exponential factor are reported.

    Notes: Abstract  Vertical thickness of cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions cannot be assessed accurately by simple examination. To achieve this ultrasonography was performed preoperatively and ruler assessment postoperatively. These measurements were then compared and evaluated using the Wilcoxon test. The results were not statistically significant (p=0.6592, z=0.4410). Cutaneous and subcutaneous ultrasonography is a simple, quick, accurate method of assessing lesion thickness.
