Primary hydatid disease of the skeletal muscle without systemic involvement is rare. A 40-year-old woman presented with a painful mass in her medial left upper thigh. She was misdiagnosed as having a ...deep intramuscular abscess and a fine needle aspiration was performed, but the fluid came out crystal clear. Further inquiry revealed that her 16-year-old daughter had been operated on twice for liver and lung hydatid disease. Thus, a provisional diagnosis of hydatid disease was made. An echinococcal haemagglutination test was positive. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with a type-2 hydatid cyst showing a ‘water-lily’ sign. The cystic mass within the left gracilis was resected en bloc. Adjunctive albendazole chemotherapy (400 mg/day) was prescribed for 3 months. At the 22-month follow-up, the patient remained free of symptoms.
Elbow dislocation associated with both ipsilateral radial and ulnar shaft fractures is a rare pattern of injury, although it is common for elbow dislocation and forearm fractures to occur separately. ...We report a case of an 80-year-old woman who had a posterolateral elbow dislocation and ipsilateral radial and ulnar shaft fractures and underwent closed reduction and plate fixation. She had an excellent outcome after 22 months of follow-up.

New developments of information and media technologies in the evolving landscape of higher education provide efficient and effective training opportunities in higher education. This paper presents a ...model in new forms of active and collaborative learning that expands the learning environment by using the internet and offering students over telepresence a virtual window on the practical laboratory work in the “High Precision Measuring Room and Nanometrology Laboratory” at the Vienna University of Technology. Establishing requirements of high quality in the education and for related personnel are the fundamentals of this study by establishing a cost-effective project, which enables remote-laboratory operations with an integrated quality management system without any border of working partners. This on-going project is proposed as the example of a global solution to develop a cost-effective approach in education quality not only in Europe but also globally.
The importance of computer aided measurement techniques as a means of controlling industrial manufacturing and testing technical products with high accuracy increases ever more with the general goal ...of improving the quality of all kinds of products. This development started about twenty years ago and is still improving. Especially computer aided co-ordinate metrology is a very important and universal tool for solving complex measuring tasks for workpiece metrology. This measurement technique can also be applied to evaluate the shape of non technical structures, for example, human limbs or joints with high accuracy. The results of such measurements provide the basis for the improvement and optimization of future work in endo prosthesis.

The os trigonum is an inconsistently present accessory bone of the foot situated at the posterolateral aspect of the talus. It may be radiographically confused with fractures of the posterior process ...of the talus. Fracture of the os trigonum per se is extremely rare. Hyperplantarflexion of the ankle is the mechanism of injury in which the os trigonum is compressed between the posterior malleolus of the tibia and the tuber calcaneus. Computed tomography is the choice of imaging modality in cases where fractures of posterior talus structures, including the os trigonum, are suspected. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose a fracture of the os trigonum after a severe plantarflexion injury to the ankle. Conservative treatment is usually successful. We report a case of a fracture of the os trigonum, its clinical features, treatment and significance.
