OBJECTIVE To determine and compare failure, re-operation, and complication rates of all generations and techniques of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). METHODS A systematic review of multiple medical databases was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Levels I-IV evidence were included. Generations of ACI and complications after ACI were explicitly defined. All subject and defect...

Aim: Autogenous iliac crest bone graft is frequently used in immediate reconstruction of post ablation defect of benign mandibular pathologies. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review on the complication and failure rates with this technique and factors associated with failure. Methods: The initial literature search in PubMed and Cochrane databases identified 915 art...

This paper has been written in order to apply Bayesian network modelling to a maintenance and inspection department. The primary aim of this paper is to establish and model the various parameters responsible for the failure rate of a system, using Bayesian network modelling, in order to apply it to a delay-time analysis study. The use of Bayesian network modelling allows certain influencing eve...

First, out of 296 infants of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) requiring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a total of 150 infants required intubation for invasive ventilation and another 53 infants requiring intubation couldn’t be randomized due to nonavailability of designated ventilator. This means that there was a CPAP failure in 69% of the cases. Studies from India itself had sh...
