We report the results of the surgical treatment of symptomatic urachal cysts. ⋯ Patients with urachal cysts may be managed conservatively initially. However, patients who do not show any clinical and radiological signs of regression, or those who have large cysts, should undergo surgical excision through laparotomy or a laparoscopic approach.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly effective therapies for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, continuous administration of TKIs could lead to toxicity that could induce serious vascular disorders. ⋯ In comparison to other TKIs, nilotinib has been associated with a higher incidence of cardiovascular events, such as peripheral artery occlusive disease. We present a CML patient who developed acute ischemic bowel necrosis and perforation during nilotinib therapy.

This study evaluated the effect of different irrigation protocols on elastic modulus and biomechanics of single-rooted premolar tooth using with nano-indentation and finite element analysis (FEA). ⋯ Despite the effect of different clinically used irrigation protocols on elastic modulus of the inner dentine, this does not affect the biomechanics of the roots.

Postintubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) is a known complication of endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy. It is the most common indication for tracheal resection/reconstructive surgery. ⋯ The care of such patients often is technically challenging. The successful management by resection and end-to-end anastomosis of a 37-year-old man presenting with 2 cm length of severe tracheal stenosis of 4 mm luminal diameter following prolonged endotracheal intubation and who had had repeated bronchial dilatation is presented.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Reduction of postendodontic pain after one-visit root canal treatment using three irrigating regimens with different temperature.
The aim of this clinical trial was to assess whether controlled irrigation with three different irrigation regimens with different temperature would result in reduction of post-endodontic pain after one-visit root canal treatment (RCT). ⋯ The approach in both selecting the patients participating in the study and analyzing the data in this randomized clinical trial allows us to conclude that cryotherapy is an aid of clinical procedures to clean and shape the canals to reduce the occurrence of postendodontic pain and the need for medication in patients presenting with a diagnosis of vital pulp.
