There is currently little feedback as to whether kidney stones have fractured during shock wave lithotripsy. Resonant scattering of the lithotripter shock wave was used here to differentiate intact and fractured stone models in water. Scattering, including reflection and radiation due to reverberation from within the stone, was calculated numerically with linear elasticity theory and agreed wel...

Fractured rocks play an important role in transport of natural resources through subsurface systems. In recent years, interest has grown in investigating heat transport by means of tracer tests, driven by the important current development of geothermal applications. Many field and laboratory tracer tests in fractured media show that fracture matrix exchange is more significant for heat than mas...

We reported soft sheets of fibrillar bone tissues from an intact Triceratops horn from the Hell Creek Formation in MT [6]. We illustrated red blood cell (RBC) like microstructures, oblate and stellate osteocytes, and organelle-like components within osteocytes. Soft vessels were found protruding from fractured Triceratops ribs, but no soft vessels were found in the horn. Our findings are signif...

Treatment of trauma to anterior teeth should aim at preserving the affected teeth so as to restore function and esthetic appearance. Recently, patients have come to expect adequate esthetics immediately after trauma. In the present case, a deep crown-root fracture compromised the pulp and extended subgingivally on the palatal aspect. After using the fractured fragment as a provisional crown, th...

Sixty patients each of whom had a fracture of the lower limb a minimum of five years (median 11 years) previously were studied by photoplethysmography, foot volumetry, popliteal venous reflux and arterial Doppler measurements. The non-fractured limb was used as a control. Postphlebitic symptoms were present in 51% and signs in 49% of fractured limbs compared with 4% and 24% respectively in the ...

Functional, esthetic and biologic restoration of a fractured incisor often presents a daunting clinical challenge. The outcome of conventional composites, prosthodontic restorations in a young patients result in an uncertain longevity of the same. Reattachment of the fractured fragment of a tooth helps in maintaining both morphology and esthetics in a growing child until the permanent long last...

Fractures of the rostral mandible in horses are the most common type of jaw fractures. The present study was performed for stabilization of rostral mandibular fracture with cerclage wire. In a retrospective case series, six client-owned horses with unilateral mandibular fractures were admitted to our clinic and suffered from a major gingival wound at rostral part of mandible. Rostral mandibular...
