a forty two years old woman with a history of bilateral breast augmentation for cosmetic reasons was presented for poor healing of the surgical site. tissue and periprosthetic fluid were removed from the wound site revealing an atypical lymphoid infiltrate. subsequently the patient developed axillary lymph adenopathy. excisional biopsy was performed. flow cytometry was non-diagnostic. she conti...

background and aim: this article carries out a literature review of the quality and limitations of the narrative-based language intervention (nbli) for preschool and school-age hearing aided and cochlear implanted children. recent findings: the authors conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases such as web of science, scopus, pubmed, google scholar, cochrane, and proquest from 198...

Implant-related infection is a difficult problem in orthopaedics as it not only leads to failure internal fixation, but also increases the financial burden and perioperative risk on patients. In past, orthopaedic implants were designed mechanical fixation devices simply maintain biological properties, regulate surrounding microenvironment. More recently, antimicrobial biocoatings have been inco...

Case Implant rehabilitation in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported an improvement in the quality of life. Implanttreatment success depends on many factors like achievement of appropriate osseointegration. There are many controversies about theinteractions between anti-rheumatic drugs and osseointegration. Moreover, the scientifc evidence regarding implant survi...

Objectives: The aim of present study was evaluation of saccule function in cochlear implant candidates with severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss Before and after cochlear implantation Methods: In this study 35 cochlear implant (CI) candidates with bilateral severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and about 30 days after cochlear implant and 20 normal-hearing cases as ...

background and aim of study: long span is seen in many clinical situations, treatment planning options of these cases are difficult and may require: fpd, rpd or isp. each option has its own disadvantages: mechanical, patient relief and cost respectively. this article will evaluate the stress distribution of another treatment option which is adding a single supporting implant to the fpd by using...

Abstract Background Direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction is increasingly performed as the preferred method of immediate following mastectomy. The proposed advantages DTI over two-stage tissue expander (TE)/implant relate to fewer surgical procedures. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims evaluate safety efficacy versus conventional TE/implant reconstruction. Method A was (PubMe...

Introduction: Implant restorations should endure a variable range of forces over long period time. Some commercial brands offer the implant together with an accessory called “implant mount” or holder,” which might be used as temporary abutment. However, scientific literature in use holders abutments for is scarce.Objectives: The purpose this vitro study was to compare load at Direct® and Zimmer...

BACKGROUND Dental primary implant stability is considered essential in the success of the osseointegration process. The recent advent of the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) seems to effectively measure primary implant stability, although its relationship with implant survival has to be further established. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy patients with complete mandibular edentulism underwent ...
