simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (ip) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. and dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (mcp) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of ip joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous mcp and ip joint dis...

For the link M of a normal complex surface singularity (X, 0) we ask when a knot K ⊂M exists for which the answer to whether K is the link of the zero set of some analytic germ (X, 0) → (C, 0) affects the analytic structure on (X, 0). We show that if M is an integral homology sphere then such a knot exists if and only if M is not one of the Brieskorn homology spheres M(2, 3, 5), M(2, 3, 7), M(2...

We used the modified one finger laparoscopy technique on 100 patients and found it to be successful in 87% of cases. No major complication occurred during or after such operations. However, we think that this technique is accompanied by three important problems: 1) The CO2 gas is lost f1"om the subumbilical incision, 2) A secondary fascial layer is present in some patients, and 3) There i...

the aim of the this work was to determine the finger patterns, finger ridge count (frc), total finger ridge count (tfrc), and asymmetry of finger ridge count (afrc) of an iranian girl (aged 13 years) affected with congenital cutis laxa (ccl).the fingerprints of the first phalanx of both hands were taken by using the standard method (stamp ink). the fingerprints were classified according to the ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the retention of two-piece computer-aided design (CAD)/computer aided manufacturing (CAM) zirconia abutments after artificial aging under simulated oral conditions using three different types of resin-based luting agents. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-one CAD/CAM-generated zirconia copings (CERCON Compartis, Degudent, Hanau, Germany) were bonded ...
