introduction: coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. in edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for upp...

the coverage of soft- tissue defects of the hand specially volar side needs special consideration. although certain local flaps have been described and used for resurfacing the palm, extensive injury requires distant or free flaps for coverage. abdominal pedicle flap has been traditionally used for extensive hand injuries, however there is no doubt that one of the ideal tissues for resurfacing ...

Abstract Aim Traditional classroom-based teaching of surgical skills has been used commonly in the past. Although, use an escape room is a new form practical method to deliver teaching. We compared and assessed effectiveness traditional classroom versus basic skills. Method Two sessions were delivered third year medical students. Each session consisted two groups sessions. group received either...

We present a set of problem frames specialized to the area of geographic applications. Problem frames describe the elements of common problems, and help a specifier understand and decompose a complex problem into simpler subproblems for which a solution is often known. We provide an overview of the main issues in geographic applications, and present twelve frames that address many of the proble...

The present article argues for what is essentially a return to the functionalist approach to investigation of memory. Two experiments demonstrate that the effects of level of processing depend on scaled meaningfulness of the material and study time. Data from those experiments along with data currently in the literature are then reanalyzed to examine the effect of repetitions. Of particular int...

This book presents a step-by-step surgical description of vaginal hysterectomy, abdominal hysterectomy, conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy, and robotic-assisted hysterectomy. It brings into balance theoretical background, clinical experience, and scientific findings in a readily comprehensible form with numerous illustrations and tables. The book contains a large proportion of interdiscipli...

In this paper, first we examine the usual treatment of temporal information and we recall the main features relative to the temporality analysis in texts. Then we deal with the formal representation of calendar expressions, and we provide a functional approach, based on a categorical representation of ordinals. Finally, an ongoing application providing a help for the reading of long biography i...
