background : improvement of facial beauty is a major reason why patients with dentofacial problems opt for orthognathic surgery. people are eventually judged by their facial appearance by themselves, their friends & family and even surgeons. with the recent developments in technology, we now have a 3d structure that can build and analyze 3d images before & after surgery and review the extent of...

background: the i-space is a radiological imaging system in which computed tomography (ct)-scans can be evaluated as a three dimensional hologram. the aim of this study is to analyze the value of virtual reality (i-space) in diagnosing acute occult scaphoid fractures.   methods: a convenient cohort of 24 patients with a ct-scan from prior studies, without a scaphoid fracture on radiograph, yet ...

purpose:dental shade guides are commonly used for color determination and should be disinfected and sterilized. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the color change of vita 3d master shade tabs after disinfection and sterilization. material and methods:overall, 98 samples (shade tabs) were randomly selected from 14 new, unused vita 3d sets, including the following shades: 2m1, 3l1.5, 3m1,...

numerical investigation of 3d electrokinetic mixing through micromixer has performed both qualitatively and quantitatively. in order to reduce numerical expenses of 3d flows, we implement the helmholtz-smoluchowski method for the numerical modeling of electroosmotic flows. according to the previous study of electrokinetic mixing inside the heterogeneous microchannels, existence of the vortexes ...

a numerical study of 3d electrokinetic flows through micromixers was performed. the micromixers considered here consisted of heterogeneous rectangular microchannels with prescribed patterns of zeta-potential at their walls. numerical simulation of electroosmotic flows within heterogeneous channels requires solution of the navier-stokes, ernest-plank and species concentration equations. it is kn...

allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is used in the treatment of patients suffering from hematologic and non-hematologic disorders, but the application is limited by the identification of a suitable donor. umbilical cord blood (ucb) is an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cell (hsc) transplantation. despite all advantages, the limited cell dose is one of the  major obstacle...

to perform an accurate approach to the spine specially for fracture stabilization a 3d model of spine surgical region may improve this mechanism and it can help the surgeon to have a deeper glance to this scenario. the pre-op planning facility is another advantage of the patient spine specific model to take a chance of making guides to direct pedicle screws safely and increase the pathomechanic...
