PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the trabecular bone changes after alveolar bone grafting in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients using a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal radiographs taken from 50 UCLP patients were surveyed retrospectively. The images were categorized as: 50 images in group 0 (before bone grafting), 33 images in group 1...

BACKGROUND Our research purpose was to compare the curative efficacy of different skin grafting methods for treating third-degree burn wounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 105 patients with third-degree burns were involved in this study. The burn wounds of these patients were treated using three different methods: Meek skin grafting, Stamp skin grafting, and Microskin grafting. Patients trea...

Open stent grafting is an alternative treatment for extensive thoracic aortic replacement. However, this procedure is associated with a high incidence of spinal cord injury, which has limited its application. Multiple factors have been suggested to explain the risk of spinal cord injury, including deep delivery of the stent graft, history of operation of the downstream aorta, and postoperative ...

Turhan A., Ozmen N., Serbeci M.S., Seniz V., 2011. Effects of grafting on different rootstocks on tomato fruit yield and quality. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 38: 142–149. The aim of the study was to find effects of tomato grafting on another cultivar. The tomato cultivars used as scions were Yeni Talya, Swanson and Beril. Cultivars used as rootstocks were Beaufort and Arnold. Cleft grafting methods we...

Acrylamide was grafted in low density polyethylene during melt processing in the presence of a free radical initiator using a torque rheometer in a closed system. Effects of processing time, acrylamide and benzoyl peroxide concentrations were studied. FTIR studies revealed that the degree of grafting increased by an increase in acrylamide concentration. Maximum grafting was obtained at 7 mi...

Two high-risk patients underwent an endovascular stent-grafting for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) following bypass-grafting to the visceral arteries. The first patient was a 73-year-old woman with severe ischemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic respiratory failure. The second patient was a 59-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) and hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC). In ge...

The effects of different grafting content of 4,4′-methlenebis(phenyl isocyanate)-modified attapulgite (ATT-MDI) on thermal and mechanical properties of segmented polyurethane (PU) elastomers were investigated. The ATT-MDI nanorods with different grafting content were prepared by treating ATT with heat and acid followed by grafting with MDI molecules. MDI-modified ATT were characterized by trans...

conclusions: in the present study, applying positive airway pressure methods (cpap or imv) during cpb was associated with better postoperative abg measurements and (a-a) do2. results: the demographic data were similar in between three groups. graft number, pump time and preoperative abgs were not significantly different. postoperative pao2 were significantly higher in the cpap and imv groups an...

poly n-isopropylacrylamide was successfully grafted onto a polystyrene cell culture dish by gamma ray. in this study, the effect of a radiation dose (radiation absorbed dosages of 10, 20, 30, 40 kgy) under appropriate temperature and grafting conditions was investigated. the ftir analysis showed the existence of the graft pnipaam on the substrate. the optimal value of the dose for grafting was ...
