Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of their normal intrauterine location, most commonly in the dependent portions of the pelvis. Endometriosis can be treated with medical therapies or surgery, both conservative ...

BACKGROUND Recent times have witnessed a significant increase in the number of patients affected by problems related to oncological treatment Aims of this study is to evaluate dental affectation among patients awaiting hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant (HPCT), and they showed high caries risk, so it should establish a protocol prior to transplantation.

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of clinical clerkship-associated achievements, such as performance of procedures at the student clinic, observation, and attitude towards a clerkship, on the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) scores of dental students graduating in restorative dentistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS The OSCEs consisted of two stations designed to a...

Orthologous proteins, form due to divergence of parental sequence, perform similar function under different environmental and biological conditions. Amino acid changes at locus specific positions form hetero-pairs whose role in BLOCK evolution is yet to be understood. We involve eight protein BLOCKs of known divergence rate to gain insight into the role of hetero-pairs in evolution. Our procedu...

Abstract. The work presents a survey campaign specifically designed to formulate an effective restoration project in Cultural Heritage context, the Military Shrine Cima Grappa (Italy). Several outputs have been generated by exploring most advanced laser scanning technique and some specific point cloud analysis algorithms. A detailed geometrical 3D reconstruction of human-made natural tunnels co...

background: seroma formation is a common complication after breast cancer surgery. several techniques such as tube drainage, fibrin sealant and suturing methods have been employed to prevent or reduce seroma formation. capitonnage, a suturing method widely used following hydatid cyst removal, has been used after breast surgery in limited studies. our aim was to compare the effectiveness of tube...

Resin bonded fixed partial denture (RBFPD) has been used clinically since the 1970s, and offers a more conservative approach than conventional fixed prosthesis for restoring edentulous short span. RBFPD is inexpensive to fabricate, easy to insert, and has been shown to be cost effective for the patients. In the present article, this type of restoration has been tried to restore mandibular anter...
