A most frustrating complication to root canal therapy is vertical root fracture (VRF) in an endodontically treated tooth. Prognosis most often is hopeless and differential diagnosis from other pathoses may be difficult at times. Nevertheless, proper diagnosis is critical to distinguish a fracture complication from clinical manifestations of periodontal and endodontic diseases. This review empha...

General paralysis of the insane (GPI) was one of the most devastating diseases observed in British psychiatry during the century after 1840, in terms of the high number and type of patients diagnosed, the severity of its symptoms and, above all, its utterly hopeless prognosis. With particular reference to the physicians and patients of the Royal Edinburgh Asylum, this article explores the diagn...

This article describes the treatment provided to a patient with the maxillary anterior teeth exhibiting severe secondary caries beneath the previous restoration and a white spot lesion on the adjacent incisor. Two implants were placed after extraction of hopeless teeth with the guided bone regeneration technique. A white spot lesion of the adjacent incisor was treated with minimally invasive tr...

The Branemark Novum system is a one-day treatment of the edentulous or periodontally hopeless mandibular dentition. There are four drill templates and eight drill guides that precisely position three implants which are totally parallel and level. A prefabricated lower bar is placed on the three implants, and an upper bar fits on the lower bar. The restorative dentist has previously selected den...

information centres. Nevertheless, the onset of recovery was rapid. The important late effect of the poisoning was the development of jejunal ulceration and diverticula formation, and hence the formation of strictures remains a real possibility. The induction of a diuresis seemed to play a particularly important part in preventing acute renal damage. The prognosis in methylene chloride poisonin...

This paper is concerned with the approximation of compressible Euler equations supplemented an equation state that either tabulated or given by expression so involved solving elementary Riemann problems hopeless. A robust first-order technique guarantees density and internal energy are positive proposed. key ingredient method a local using covolume ansatz from which upper bounds on maximum wave...

An essential part of end-of-life medical care, spiritual care allows physicians to recognize problems like meaninglessness, anguish, and hopelessness, for which effective interventions are available. This form of care can be a deeply rewarding area of medical practice.

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the structure and validity of the use of the 18-item Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ-18), a measure of thwarted belongingness (TB) and perceived burdensomeness (PB), among older adults. METHOD Community-dwelling older adults (N = 284; mean age = 73 years; age range = 64-96 years; 56% women) anonymously completed a questionnaire packet. RESULTS Principa...

Self-determination was examined as a protective factor against the detrimental impact of negative life events on suicide ideation in adolescents. It is postulated that for highly self-determined adolescents, negative life events have a weaker impact on both hopelessness and suicide ideation than for non-self-determined adolescents. In turn, hopelessness is hypothesized to generate less suicide ...
