Introduction: Non-surgical treatment with calcium hydroxide offers a high success rate in the healing of large periapical lesions. Case Series: We present the healing of large periapical lesions with conservative, non-surgical treatment in three young patients presenting large periapical lesions and diagnosed with chronic periapical periodontitis. Non-surgical endodontic treatment was carried out involving canal preparation, irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, filling of the canal with 75% calcium hydroxide and 25% Kri-1 iodoform paste mixed with sterile saline solution, and sealing of t

Summary Objective: To present a surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and its outcomes according to the literature. Methods: PubMed database search. Conclusion: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common diagnosis with prevalence around 40% of female population. Vaginal delivery, especially with levator ani trauma, increasing age and obesity are the basic risk factors. Native tissue repair is a possible surgical treatment. Unfortunately, concomitant hysterectomy is still a very common procedure. It is established that uterus plays a passive role in pelvic organ prolapse. Sparing of the uterus kee

Up to one third of patients with epilepsy suffer from seizures that are refractory to medications.

The best known dietary therapy is the ketogenic diet, which was developed in the 1920s; newer variants of the ketogenic diet, such as the medium-chain triglyceride diet, modified Atkins diet, and low glycemic index treatment, afford excellent seizure control with fewer dietary restrictions.

Primary brain tumors are treated surgically or with stereotactic radiation but often residual positive margins lead to recurrence.
