The primary treatment of hemorrhagic shock is control of the source of bleeding as soon as possible and fluid replacement. In controlled hemorrhagic shock (CHS) where the source of bleeding has been occluded fluid replacement is aimed toward normalization of hemodynamic parameters. In uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UCHS) in which bleeding has temporarily stopped because of hypotension, vasocon...

Replacement of a restoration leads to excessive cutting of the otherwise healthy tooth structure which affects the integrity of teeth. Repairing existing glass ionomer restorations may appear to be a good alternative to complete replacement of the restoration which presents no evidence of failure on clinical exam. The objectives of the study were to determine the proportion of faculty advocatin...

We have compared the biomechanical nature of the reconstruction of the hip in conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) and surface replacement arthroplasty (SRA) in a randomised study involving 120 patients undergoing unilateral primary hip replacement. The contralateral hip was used as a control. Post-operatively, the femoral offset was significantly increased with THA (mean 5.1 mm; -2.8 to 1...

Our purpose was to study the interaction between Na(+) content and fluid volume on rehydration (RH) and restoration of fluid spaces and cardiovascular (CV) function. Ten men completed four trials in which they exercised in a 35 degrees C environment until dehydrated by 2. 9% body mass, were rehydrated for 180 min, and exercised for an additional 20 min. Four RH regimens were tested: low volume ...

Diabetes mellitus represents a serious public health problem owing to its global prevalence in the last decade. The causes of this metabolic disease include dysfunction and/or insufficient number of β cells. Existing diabetes mellitus treatments do not reverse or control the disease. Therefore, β-cell mass restoration might be a promising treatment. Several restoration approaches have been deve...

BACKGROUND The clinical diagnosis of recurrent caries is the most common reason for replacement of all types of restorations in general dental practice. Marked variations in the diagnosis of the lesions have been reported. The prevention of recurrent lesions by the use of fluoride-releasing restorative materials has not been successful. TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED The author focused on practice...

BACKGROUND This study investigates CAD/CAM ceramic cusp-replacing restoration resistance with and without buccal cusp replacement under static and dynamic cyclic loads, monitored using the acoustic emission (AE) technique. METHOD The cavity was designed in a typical MODP (mesial-occlusal-distal-palatal) restoration failure shape when the palatal cusp has been lost. Two ceramic restorations [w...
