BACKGROUND Studies have shown that myocardial bridging may prevent coronary atherosclerosis and that the segment proximal to the bridge is often sclerosed. The underlying mechanism is still unknown. METHODS Intracoronary ultrasound and pressure measurements were performed in a patient with myocardial bridging in the left anterior descending coronary artery. A 3.5 F, 20 MHz probe was used to m...

Angiographically evident myocardial bridges confined to the other arteries rather than the left anterior descending artery is very rare in the literature. Also cardiac computerized tomography studies and postmortem studies demonstrated that myocardial bridges are not as rare as the angiographic series and may be confined to the other arteries rather than the left anterior descending. We reporte...

Myocardial bridging (MB) is defined as a coronary artery that tunnels through the myocardium, under overlying muscle bridge. It almost exclusively affects left anterior descending (LAD), especially middle part (midLAD).

A number of treatment options, ranging from Maryland bridges to implants, are available for the replacement of congenitally or traumatically missing permanent anterior teeth. But, there are several limitations of these therapeutic options when they have to be used before the completion of the growth, particularly in children. Reinforcement of composite resins with polyethylene fibers significan...

This clinical report describes a treatment option for replacement of a missing mandibular anterior tooth using InCeram resin bonded fixed partial denture (RBFPD). The conventional approach for replacing mandibular incisors dictates the placement of either a conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) bridge, Maryland bridge, or fiber-reinforced composite veneer bridge and several appearance-rel...

The efficacy of meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) for the meniscus-deficient knee has been widely recognized as being excellent in terms of pain relief and functional improvement. Lateral MAT is usually performed with the bone bridge technique that uses a bone bridge connecting the anterior and posterior horns of an allograft. The slot position for the meniscal graft insertion is of grea...
