 most important anatomical and functional structure of nose. Thus, any kind of damage to septum can cause serious structural deformity of nose. Although nasal trauma at childhood hood is seen frequently, septal heamatoma and abscess formation is very rare. Septal heamatoma and abscess cause serious nasal and systemic complications in children. We presented a 6 years-old boy with the complaining of difficulty in nasal breathing and diagnosed as septal abscess five days after a nasal trauma.

Lidocaine can be seen systemic intoxication, central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular toxicities, due to its common usage and broad safety margin.
Lidocaine overdose has been reported with convulsion, cardiac collapse and coma. In present case, a patient underwent surgical excision of wrist mass who erroneously received 1200 mg 10% lidocaine instead of 225 mg 2% dose. Interestingly, the case shows only some mild CNS side effects without any serious adverse effect.

Musculoskeletal tuberculosis (MT) occurs in 1–3% of patients with tuberculosis, while MT of the chest wall constitutes 1% to 5% of all cases of musculoskeletal MT. They are most frequently found at the margins of the sternum and along the rib shafts. Computed tomography is a useful tool for investigation in the diagnosis of abscess and in determining the extent of an abscess. Antituberculous chemotherapy and surgical excision should be started immediately after the appropriate microbiological and histological samples have been obtained if the clinical suspicion is high. We presented our experience with a 49-year-old woman who had musculoskeletal tuberculosis at the anterior chest wall together with a review of the literature on this subject.

Thrombophilia is defined as the general name for a group of genetic and acquired situations, arising from defects of hemostasis mechanism and generating tendency to thrombosis. Examples of the acquired risk factors that increase the tendency to thrombosis are venous catheters, sepsis, surgery, hyperlipidemia, congestive heart disease, increased lipoprotein a, old age, antiphospholipid syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, hyperviscosity, chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, heparin induced thrombocytopenia, vasculitis, immobility, obesity, major surgery, trauma, burns, malignancy, pregnancy and oral contraceptive usage. Genetic tendency to venous thromboembolism in early ages, even without any known cause, is named as thrombophilia. Factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutations, factor VIII elevation, protein C, protein S and antithrombin deficiency parameters are suggested for evaluation, in patient groups suspected of inherited thrombophilia. Detection of inherited thrombophilic factors in selected patient groups is a guide in developing treatment strategies and in establishing prognosis. Due to the genetic heterogeneities, each society should determine their thrombophilic risk pool. Thus, with the determination of the risk factors, unnecessary assessments will be prevented and a cost-effective approach can be developed.

Abdominal adhesions following abdominopelvic surgical interventions are well-known causes of increased morbidity and mortality at early and late postoperative period. It is suggested that intraabdominal adhesions are thought to be developed secondary to peritoneal or bowel serosal surface trauma, foreign body reaction and ischemia. In present study, development and clinical importance of postoperative peritoneal adhesions are discussed together with literature knowledge.

Sandra Lester, a Hennepin County Master Gardener, bought her Plymouth home in 1967, seven years after it was built in an open field. Lester’s horticulturalist mother was amazed by this house “in the middle of no place,” so she worked with her daughter to encapsulate the house with trees and shrubs.
Today Lester’s yard is full of bushes and trees, but the landscape never stays the same for too long. A few years ago, a tree that was more than 100 feet tall had to come down, and its former location was suddenly sunny. This opening proved the perfect spot for a metal open-air gazebo, which is now the main accent in the back yard.
Lester grew up helping out with her mother’s commercial garden. After so much weeding and watering in her childhood, she never thought she’d want to garden again. But she couldn’t stay away.
She started with some small gardens when her kids were young, cultivating perennials and annuals in linear beds. But the gardens never seemed to be enough, and they expanded steadily. Lester didn’t aspire to her mother’s formal style from the ’50s and ’60s. She wanted hers to look like an English garden that had been there for years. So today, the gardens flow through fieldstone hardscaping from the front to back to side yards, with pathways in between.
Besides the gazebo, a pond and waterfall off the patio is another focal point. And a custom playhouse which also serves as a garden shed is an enticing spot, serving as the hub for various entertainments. The girls next door, as well as Lester’s own grandchildren, have taken it over since she had it made two years ago. The children enjoy the playhouse function, but Lester also has a wine cart out there, with some chairs for outside appetizers and a glass of wine or cup of coffee.
“I’ve always been outside. My mother gardened, and [I garden] for my sense of well being and spirituality. I’m not one who sits still or sits inside — I just have to be outside,” Lester says.
Stephen Rutz, another Hennepin County Master Gardener, is also a lifelong gardener. His relatives all had big vegetable gardens, with farm and country backgrounds. But Rutz’s Plymouth land was wooded, so he never grew many vegetables there. When disease killed his big oak and elm tree and his property got sunnier, he ramped up the gardening. And when his kids went to college in 2004, he used his extra time to expand the gardens even more.
By the time Rutz was laid off from his IT job in 2007 he was tired of computers, and it was time to pursue something new. A career counselor asked what he wanted to do when he retired, and Rutz said he wanted to volunteer and get back into gardening. So he got a job working as a gardener/landscaper at Dundee Nursery and Landscaping Company, taking care of their five big gardens for eight or nine months of the year, a job he still enjoys.
Though Rutz was done working with computers, he did maintain a personal database. Since 2004, he’s used a spreadsheet to keep track of what he buys and where it’s planted. But gardens can be mercurial. Even with his system, he’s still not quite sure what’s thriving and what has disappeared — for example, he has at least two spreadsheet pages of lilies he’s planted, comprising 60 or 70 different varieties. He only feels certain about the location of 20 or 30 of those.
Besides being a master gardener, Rutz belongs to statewide societies focused on various flowers, as well as the Minnesota Horticulture Society. In 2016, one of his lilies was the Minnesota North Star Lily Society’s top show lily.
Over the years, Rutz’s garden has continued to expand. He added a pond, waterfall and small stream in 2009, which are now central features of the backyard. He works at opening up his woods more every year, but says his garden is now about as big as he can handle. As he has run out of space for flowers, he’s begun planting more trees and shrubs to repopulate the woods that buckthorn removal thinned.
Rutz has put a lot of work into his yard and has plenty more to do. And though he has been gardening on and off his whole life, it hasn’t lost any of its charm: “I still consider it fun,” he says.Last year, the app’s number of users crossed the 50 million mark, while the number of daily in-app swipes reached 1 billion. The current number of daily swipes has increased to 1.5 billion. Such levels of activity and an unusually high growth rate leave us with no other option, but to turn our head towards this dating and texting app. Let’s check out the benefits of using Tinder.
The app’s target demographic is predominantly made up of college students and young adults under 28. This makes Tinder, just like Snapchat, a trendsetter and a hot commodity for all youth brands.
In order to log in you need a Facebook account, so that Tinder can upload user pics and available info. A well thought through search algorithm that locates potential acquaintance candidates, taking into account the location, hobbies, interests and other personal data. Moreover, it protects you from fake accounts to a certain extent.
Swiping is what makes this app so special, and it couldn’t have done a better job blending in with the overall design concept. With a flick of a finger you can ‘like’ a profile, or get back to searching – your intuition will guide you.
Moments became available last year. It lets you edit photos, apply filters
