Fibrodysplasia ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is rare genetic Connective Tissue Disorder in which soft tissue of the body got damage and transformed into bone.The first case of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva was documented by Guy Putin in 1692. Till 2017, approximately 800 cases of FOP have been noted worldwide.FOP is characterised by malformation of great toes and progressive heterotropic ossification. the joints of body become immovable. It usually begins in the neck and shoulders and progresses along the back, trunk, and limbs of the body. FOP is caused by mutation in gene known as ACVR1 ( also known as ALK2) as a result structure and activity of Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP) type change. Currently ,there are no effective medical treatment of FOP is available. However, research being going on for the treatment and prevention is looking in several directions including the disruption of related inductive signaling, suppression of immunological and inflammatory triggers, alteration of the osteoprogenitor cells in target tissues, and the modification of the environment that causes it to proliferate. Key words- FOP, heterotropic ossificans,ACVR1,BMP,osteoprogenitor

Sarcomas of the Head and Neck

July 2009

INTRODUCTION Sarcomas of the head and neck (HN) are rare tumors of connective tissue origin that comprise less than 1% of head and neck malignancies. They arise in any soft tissue or osseous tissues of the region and may be found in patients of any age or gender. Unfortunately, HN sarcomas do not traditionally exhibit the high local control rates seen in similar histologies elsewhere and this may ... [Show full abstract] be the reason for their poorer survival. This has been attributed to the traditional inability to deliver intensive treatments because of their location among the critical anatomy of the head and neck.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF MUSCLES, BONES AND FAT OF DOMESTIC FOWL (GALLUS GALLUS)

November 2011 · Online Journal of Animal and Feed Research

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth pattern of muscles, bones and fat of domestic fowl. Eighteen day old chicks were reared for 22 weeks and serial slaughters were done every four weeks for evaluation. Results showed that the feed conversion ratio was 1:4, highest feed intake at 22 weeks of age and highest weight gain at 15 weeks. Carcass yield was 60%. The great mass of muscle was ... [Show full abstract] found in the thorax and hind limb, highest bone percentage was found in the pelvis and wing and the flank had high percentage of muscle and connective tissues and all regions had the same percentage of fat. Thorax and hind limb had high growth rate when compared with pelvis, wing, neck and flank.

Electron microscopic observations on soft tissue around clinical long-term percutaneous titanium imp...

February 1995 · Biomaterials

Percutaneous implants of titanium ad modum Brånemark have been in clinical use in the head and neck since 1977. The incidence of adverse reactions is low. In a previous study we have demonstrated the presence of inflammatory cells in the subcutaneous connective tissue surrounding the implants and this increased exposure to exogenous antigens was suggested to be compensated by a barrier of ... [Show full abstract] inflammatory cells in the soft tissue. To get further information on the nature of the tissue-implant contact, in the present study we have examined the structure of the tissue close to the percutaneous implant using transmission electron microscopy. We could not see evidence for an attachment of the epithelium to the implant, nor between the connective tissue and the implant. Retrieved implants were also analysed and we did not find any organized tissue remaining on the implants.

Spindle Cell Lipoma of the Neck

November 2015

Spindle cell lipomas (SCL) are benign, slow growing tumors arising most frequently in the subcutaneous tissue of the upper back, posterior neck, and shoulders in males aged 40–70 years. Local excision is generally curative. Classification of lipomatous tumors has progressed recently, and tumors of similar morphology and unusual presentation are increasingly reported, thereby making correct ... [Show full abstract] diagnosis even more vital. SCL require pathologic differentiation from liposarcoma, other spindle cell neoplasms, and myxoid lesions for treatment purposes. Cytology, histology, and cytogenetics, in conjunction with clinical presentation, are paramount in arriving at the correct diagnosis of spindle cell lipoma. We present a case report with characteristics typical of an SCL along with a literature review to further elucidate the diagnosis and surgical treatment of this soft tissue tumor.
