Hi allAnother question from that 1000 mcqsSuppuration is mainly the result of the combined action of four factors; which of the following is not one of these factorsA. NecrosisB. Presence of lymphocytesC. Collection of neutrophilsD. Accumulation of tissue fluidE. Autolysis by proteolytic enzymeAnswer is C but in my opinion it should be B. Suppuration involves

the formation of pus in an infected area. Pus is formed from tissue fluid, cellular debris, dead and dying neutrophils and dead bacteria. and lymphocytes produce antibodies and useful in cell mediated cytotoxicity.What do you think guys?

HI AURTHERTHE QUESTION ASKED WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF MALADJUSTMENT OF THE X RAY BEAM:DURING THE X-RAY EXPOSURE:the central beam is aligned in 2 dimensionshorizontally it should pass through the contact points between the teeth: otherwise the overlaping at the interproximal contact area occurs. the only exception is In the maxilla, though, the molar contacts are often directed mesially due to the triangular shape of the maxillary molars. This means thebeam must also be directed from the mesial to open these contacts.VERTICAL ANGULATION : according to the tech u r using: BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE: the x ray beam should be perpendicular to the bisecting line: ( line at the center between the the long axis of the

This was posted yesterday and explains the differences:

Risser casting and Mehta Method or EDF (elongation, derotation, flexion)

casting.

Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional problem that should be corrected on all 3 planes.

The EDF casting method has the ability to elongate the spine through traction,

derotate the spine/pelvis, and to improve lordosis and over all body

shape/alignment.

EDF differs from Risser casting. EDF casts are over the shoulder, with a large

mushroom opening on the front to allow for proper chest expansion. On the back,

there is a small cutout on the concavity of the curve, not going past the

midline. It was found that the spine became more aligned with this cutout than

without and that it helped correct rotation.

Early treatment w/ EDF is generally over a period of 9-12 months depending on

age and child's specific situation. When the child's Cobb angle is under 10 deg,

they are removed from their series of EDF plaster casts and placed into a

removable brace.

Early treatment EDF does not alternate with bracing as Risser plaster casting

can. It is a solid block of casts to decrease the childs curvature(s), gently,

slowly & permanently.

The biggest difference is the aim of treatment- which is cure, opposed to

containment. Dr's Cotrel & Morel developed the EDF technique years ago in France

and found that using one of these techniques in isolation has its own drawbacks,

yet using all three simultaneously potentializes the advantages of

each.(Elongation, Derotation, Flexion).

Additionally Risser casting is not shown to get corruption and Mehta is. Risser

casting is also more likely to cause chest and rib deformities.

What I was trying to explain....that I think got confused.... The place we go to only does Mehta casting but the call it risser for insurance claim purposes. It is the Mehta cast. Dr P was taught by Dr Mehta herself.SO, if you call a place looking into the castings, make sure that they just dont call it that. Sorry about the confusion....

Dr. Mehtas Early Treatment Method w/ specialized EDF casting has the

ability to correct the spines of rapidly growing infants, gently and

permanently. Old style Risser casts usually arent specialized for an

infants rapidly growing body and the necessary Early Treatment principles

may not be employed. EDF casting is simply an improvement to the Risser

technique as it has the ability to correct 3-dimensionally. Risser

corrects 2-dimensionally and scoli is a 3-d issue.

Ill read posts before I go into more detail..

I dont think so either...There are published studies on Risser for

adults/adolescents, but none on Early Treatment w/ Risser as it had never

been used to cure the spines of infants with PIS. Risser was mostly used

to maintain or correct temporarily the spines of older patients...Or, as a

post op procedure.
