Background Breast augmentation surgery remains the most frequently performed aesthetic surgical procedure worldwide. However, many variations exist regarding preoperative planning, surgical management, and postoperative care. Objectives The goal was to evaluate current trends and practices in breast augmentation, with a focus on international variability. Methods A questionnaire was sent to...

The astronomical site parameters for the Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO) are being studied from numerous aspects including meteorological, environmental, seismic and sky quality (e.g. “seeing”, cloud cover). Results to date indicate that MRO is an excellent site for astronomical observing. Seeing measurements of less that 1 arc second in the optical are routinely obtained. Seismic conditions ...

According to the authors, breast augmentation can be safely performed with the use of well-monitored sedation anesthesia. They credit this method with a brief recovery period, fast return to normal activity, minimal discomfort, and more safety and convenience than general anesthesia.

We describe a novel method for the generation of tangent-linear code by augmentation of LL-parsers generated by the software tool ANTLR. The main advantage of this approach to source code augmentation is the missing requirement for an internal representation of the original program. We consider this work as the basis for further investigations into how far this technique can be extended in the ...

AIMS To evaluate the success of the osseointegration of dental implants in patients with severe maxillary atrophy after sinus lift augmentation and onlay graft surgery with autologous bone grafts. DESIGN A descriptive and analytic study of 27 patients with severe maxillary atrophy and partial or total edentulism, after 4 years follow-up. All cases underwent to autologous bone graft sinus lift...

background and aims. autogenous onlay bone grafting is a common procedure for alveolar ridge augmentation. it has been suggested that the amount of healed bone after this technique would be significantly less than the initial quantity. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the various parameters influencing the outcome of ridge augmentation procedures. materials and me...
