Flapless technique is a surgical approach of implant placement without raising a mucoperiosteal flap. Such approach has many advantages: shorter surgical treatment, minimal bleeding, postoperative discomfort for the patient is reduced; possibility of immediate loading of the inserted implant, faster procedure of implant placement and by that less time is needed for the complete implant-prosthet...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate and report on a new intraoperative measuring technique to place the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) femoral tunnel in the center of the native ACL femoral insertion site. METHODS We investigated a novel measuring technique based on identifying the proximal border of the articular cartilage and using a specific ruler parallel to the femoral...

ECKSTEIN, RICHARD Mr., HOWARD E. ROWEN, JR., AND KATSURO SHIMOMURA. Technique for placement of catheters in the common left coronary artery. J. Appl. Physiol. 25(5): 636-637. 1968.-The construction of a device and its use for placement of catheters in the common left coronary artery and the origin of its major branches are described. Essentially, the technique consists of the introduction of a ...

The pole placement (PP) technique for design of a linear state feedback control system requires specification of all the closed-loop pole locations even though only a few poles dominate the system’s transient response characteristics. The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method, on the other hand, optimizes the system transient response and does not directly impose the location of the dominant ...

This clinical case describes the effect of the osteotome technique on the osseointegration of a mandibular dental implant in a 42-year-old female patient with dento-alveolar bony defects and to review the literature regarding immediate implant placement using osteotome technique. The amount of bone expansion at the alveolar ridge and the marginal bone resorption from the time of implant placeme...

BACKGROUND Funnel technique is a method used for the insertion of screw into thoracic pedicle. AIM To evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of thoracic pedicle screw placement using the Funnel technique, trying to provide biomechanical basis for clinical application of this technology. METHODS 14 functional spinal units (T6 to T10) were selected from thoracic spine specimens of 14 fres...

Large discrepancies have been found in dates of evolutionary events obtained using the molecular clock. Twofold differences have been reported between the dates estimated from molecular data and those from the fossil record; furthermore, different molecular methods can give dates that differ 20-fold. New software attempts to incorporate appropriate allowances for this uncertainty into the calcu...

OBJECTIVE Head-to-head comparison of the success rate of jejunal placement of a new electromagnetically visualized jejunal tube with that of the endoscopic technique in critically ill patients. DESIGN : Prospective, randomized clinical trial. SETTING Two intensive care units at a university hospital. PATIENTS : A total of 66 critically ill patients not tolerating intragastric nutrition. ...

We investigate the imaging properties of high-aperture multifocal multiphoton microscopy on the basis of diffraction theory. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between the sectioning property and the distance between individual foci. Our results establish a relationship between the degree of parallelization and the axial resolution for both two- and three-photon excitation. In ad...

Masquelet technique, which is the use of a temporary cement spacer followed by staged bone grafting, is a recent treatment strategy to manage a posttraumatic bone defect. This paper describes a series of 9 patients treated with this technique of staged bone grafting following placement of an antibiotic spacer to successfully manage osseous long bone defects. The injured limbs were stabilized an...
