Bisphosphonates is a group of inorganic pyrophosphates analogues that suppress bone resorption by inducing osteoclast inactivation, being frequently used for management of diseases affecting bone metabolism, bone metastases and bone tumors. However, since 2003 many cases describing the presence of necrotic bone exposures in the jaws have been described in patients receiving these drugs, what re...

Bisphosphonates as a group of drugs were introduced for the management of various conditions such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, hypercalcemia of malignancy, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other tumors. This group of drugs has improved the quality of life in many patients with proven efficacy in limiting pain and skeletal-related events. The controversy of osteonecrosi...

This paper presents a video watermarking technology for broadcast monitoring. The technology has been developed at the Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven in the context of the European ESPRIT project VIVA (Visual Identity Veri cation Auditor). The aim of the VIVA project is to investigate and demonstrate a professional broadcast surveillance system. The key technology in the VIVA projec...

Dose per monitor unit in photon fields generated by clinical linear accelerators can be affected by the backscattered radiation into the monitor chamber from collimator jaws. Thus, it is necessary to account for the backscattered radiation in computing monitor unit setting for a treatment field. In this work, we investigated effects of the backscatter from collimator jaws based on Monte Carlo s...

This article presents an integrative review that aimed to analyze and synthesize the available scientific literature on rehabilitation of atrophic jaws without need for bone grafting, using All-on-Four technique. Searches were performed in databases selected studies published between 2018 2023. The included clinical studies, meta-analyses, systematic reviews addressed technique jaws. analyzed t...

Properly positioned synovial joints are crucial to coordinated skeletal movement. Despite their importance for skeletal development and function, the molecular mechanisms that underlie joint positioning are not well understood. We show that mice carrying an insertional mutation in a previously uncharacterized gene, which we have named Jaws (joints abnormal with splitting), die perinatally with ...

BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a medical condition associated with antiresorptive drugs, among others, used to treat osteoporosis and bone metastasis. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the definition of ONJ, and no ONJ-specific International Classification of Diseases-10 code exists. Therefore, register-based studies of this condition may be troublesome. PURPOSE To eval...

 The purpose this study to highlight scientific, clinical, pedagogical, social activities maxillofacial surgeon, N.I. Based on an analysis literature, we present role Butikova creation deve...

High-performance Web servers are essential to meet the growing demands of the Internet. Satisfying these demands requires a thorough understanding of the key factors that affect Web server performance. This paper provides three contributions to the design, implementation, and evaluation of high-performance Web servers. First, we report the results of a comprehensive empirical study of popular h...

Metastases or tumour to the jaws are rare and those to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are even rarer. The symptoms like preauricular pain, swelling and clicking are generally associated with TMJ disease. But the same symptoms are also found in tumours of the jaws or other diseases. We report on the case of a 48-year-old woman with a 12-year history of breast cancer who was referred to our de...
