BONE ISLANDS OF THE CRANIOMAXILLOFACIAL REGION
The presumptive diagnosis of a bone island can easily be made if the individual clinical and radiologic findings, together with follow-up examinations, are taken into account. In addition, it is important to recognize this anomaly, evaluate radiographies carefully and distinguish it from other bone variations such as primary or metastatic tumours, which is much more significant clinically in dental examinations.

SERUM LACTATE AS A PROGNOSTIC MARKER IN PEDIATRIC CARDIAC SURGERY PATIENTS
Trend in arterial lactate level during peri-operative period can be a useful tool to assess the prognosis in postoperative period in cardiac surgery in pediatric patients. In the present study, non-survivors had significant persistent elevation in lactates (> 4.0 mmol/l). Similarly, peak lactates in survivors correlated significantly with longer duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, mechanical ventilation and pediatric intensive care unit stay.
