Because the
tubercle bacillus can involve every organ system, its clinical manifestations represent slight variations depends upon the site of involvement.
Fluid or air may collect between the lungs and the lining of the lungs, while
tubercles continue to develop in the lung, progressively destroying lung tissue.
For this analysis, we used various reference points; frontozygomatic suture, superior aspect of the superior orbital fissure, Whitnall's
tubercle, superior aspect of the optic canal, and superior aspect of the supraorbital notch to the metoptic canal were measured at 29.51 [+ or -] 11.20, 15.80 [+ or -] 4.26, 22.85 [+ or -] 9.95, 8.90 [+ or -] 2.74, and 40.62 [+ or -] 8.87 mm in the right side, respectively, and 27.98 [+ or -] 5.67, 15.98 [+ or -] 3.42, 21.66 [+ or -] 4.77, 9.21 [+ or -] 2.42, and 42.24 [+ or -] 12.77 mm in the left side, respectively We statistically analyzed these measurements according to the sides.
Table 1 shows the mean values of the horizontal and vertical diameters of the outer and inner openings of the TF and the distance between the superior
tubercle and the TF.
designated the connecting line between pubic
tubercle and medial femoral epicondyle as the longitudinal reference line, the connecting line from pubic
tubercle to greater trochanter of femur as the horizontal reference line.
The size and number of
tubercles also differed among the three locations (Table 1), which suggested intraspecific differences.
The second non-responsive tooth (also left a mandibular second premolar) received revascularization treatment due to the presence of a fistula 1 year prior to this study, as a result of pulp necrosis arising from the fracture of the
tubercle. Three months later, apical surgery was performed due to the recurrence of the fistula.
Gender determination is then made by scanning of the caudal fetal abdomen, hindquarters, and buttocks to identify the position of the genital
tubercle or the anatomical structure of the primary sex organs.
The traumatic forces may cause either attrition or fracture of the
tubercle, thus resulting in inevitable pulp exposure [2].
MPTC can be classified into three types according to the locations: (1) MPTC in unilateral thyroid: preoperative diagnosis finds no
tubercle in opposite thyroid; (2) MPTC in unilateral thyroid: preoperative diagnosis finds
tubercles in opposite thyroid but considers them as benign
tubercles; (3) MPTC are distributed in bilateral thyroid.
