A preliminary study of the dynamics of resolution of experimental haematomas: radioisotope studies in animals.

A preliminary investigation was carried out in order to establish a method for the study of experimental haematomas. For this purpose haematomas were produced in rabbits by subcutaneous injection of rabbits' own blood after labelling the various blood components with appropriate radioisotopes. In addition, radioisotope labelled human serum albumin and fibrinogen were studied. The results show that there is considerable variation in the rate and pattern of dissipation of the various components of the experimentally produced haematoma. The significance of these findings is discussed.

One hundred cases of mandibular fractures in children in Iraq.

A survey of 476 cases of mandibular fractures in Iraq revealed that 100 cases (21%) occurred in children under the age of 13 years. Twice as many fractures were seen in the 6- to 13-year-old group than in the 0- to 5-year-old group. The male to female ratio was 2/1. The site distribution in descending order of frequency was canine region, condyle, angle body and symphysis. Of the 33 condylar fractures, only two showed signs of deviation and ankylosis. Most of these fractures were treated by simple methods of fixation.
