R. Eric Phelts, Ph.D., is a research engineer in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1995, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 1997 and 2001, respectively. His research involves signal deformation monitoring techniques and analysis fo...

capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. on the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. a weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. the cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...

PURPOSE The aim of this article was to review the current literature with regard to survival and success rates, along with the clinical procedures and outcomes associated with immediate and delayed implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A MEDLINE search was conducted of studies published between 1990 and June 2003. Randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control s...

AIM To analyse data on bone augmentation at single-tooth implants with regard to the type of graft materials, the stability of grafts over time, reported time span towards implant placement, implant survival rates, implant marginal bone maintenance and possible complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature review resulted in 585 titles after exclusion of duplicates. Analyses of article tit...

PURPOSE A two stage approach of ridge splitting and lateral expansion in the mandible to achieve enough bone width for the purpose of dental implants is presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 13 consecutive patients with 16 long-span edentulous areas of the mandibular ridge were included in this study and 42 dental implants were inserted. Corticotomy of a rectangular buccal segment was c...

Abstract The impacts of MHD and heat generation/absorption on lid‐driven convective fluid flow occasioned by a square enclosure housing an elliptic cylinder have been investigated numerically. the horizontal boundaries were insulated left vertical wall was experienced at fixed hot temperature, right exposed to cold temperature. COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 software used resolve nondimensional equati...

spherical equivalent (se) has not been linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity. methods: 132 hungarian twins (age 43.3±16.9 years) underwent refraction measurements (huvitz mrk-3100 premium autorefractokeratometer) and oscillometry (tensiomed arteriograph). results: heritability analysis indicated major role for genetic components in the presence of right and left se (82.7%, 95%ci, 62.9 to...
