Breast reduction is a common and safe procedure with predicted cosmetic outcomes. Many techniques have evolved over the recent decades. ⋯ In Saudi Arabia, inverted T resection patterns with superior or superomedial pedicle designs are the standard techniques used in breast reduction, with higher satisfaction rates and fewer complications. Surgical preferences were significantly different between surgeons based on their training and held fellowships.

Assessment of intravascular volume status is important in pediatric patients admitted to the emergency departments and pediatric intensive care units. Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and collapsibility index are used to evaluate the intravascular volume status in adults. The normal range of IVC diameter is available for adults and the normal range considered for adults is between 1.7 to 2.1 cm, but such normative data is limited for children of all ages. ⋯ We believe that our IVC and aorta diameter measurements obtained from a large number of participants may be used as reference values in emergency departments and intensive care units.

The aim of our study is to prepare a head-neck phantom model for ultrasound suitable for submandibular anatomy to be used in the education of research assistants in the department of radiology in dentistry, and to compare different materials for this purpose. ⋯ The submandibular region phantom can be a useful tool for learning the sonoanatomy of the head, neck, and submandibular region and improving the ability to use ultrasound. The advantage of the prepared model is that it is easy to use, prepare and apply materials accessible to any dentist, and can be used over and over again.

Sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) of the appendix and anaplastic carcinoma mural nodules arising in the mucinous ovarian tumors (MOT) are rare lesions. We report a case of SSA in the appendix coexisting with an anaplastic carcinoma mural nodule in MOT. No BRAC1/BRAC2 germline mutations were found in the peripheral blood sample. ⋯ In conclusion, we reported a case of SSA in the appendix coexisting with a mural nodule in MOT. We describe the morphological characteristics and molecular detection results in this case. There was no clear genetic evidence of a correlation between these two rare pathological types.

Although its etiology is not fully known, the accepted view is that bruxism is a multifactorial disorder. ⋯ The findings revealed that, although bruxism was common among dental students, gender and psychosocial factors are also mostly associated with the etiology of bruxism. In this context, during the challenging dentistry education period, it is important to direct students who are found to have high levels of psychological symptoms to psychological counseling and guidance services.
