The decreased incidence of potentially autogenous Gramnegative bacillary infections may well be unrelated to the change in ward architecture, but the criteria used to classify cross-infection meant that some of the intestinal type of infections labelled autogenous were in fact cross-infections. As expected, the incidence of definite staphylococcal autogenous infection remained substantially the...

bone graft and laser irradiation in the bone repair. Defects were created in the skull of 30 rats and filled with autogenous graft and FS derived from snake venom. Immediately after implantation, low-power laser was applied on the surgical site. The animals were divided in: control group with autogenous graft (G1), autogenous graft and laser 5 J/cm2 (G2), autogenous graft and laser 7 J/cm2 (G3)...

Literature regarding the outcome of maxillary sinus floor elevation to create sufficient bone fraction to enable implant placement was systematically reviewed. Bone fraction and implant survival rate were assessed to determine whether grafting material or applied growth factor affected bone fraction. Trials where sinus floor elevations with autogenous bone (controls) were compared with autogeno...

Recognizing the impact of the decision making by the dialysis access surgeon on the successful placement of autogenous arteriovenous hemodialysis access, the Society for Vascular Surgery assembled a multispecialty panel to develop practice guidelines in arteriovenous access placement and maintenance with the aim of maximizing the percentage and functionality of autogenous arteriovenous accesses...

PURPOSE To compare the degree of neural regeneration in rats upon interposition of autologous nerve graft, autogenous vein, glycerol-preserved autogenous vein, and glycerol-preserved allogeneic vein using qualitative and quantitative histological analyses as well as functional assessments. METHODS Peroneal nerves were reconstructed differently in four groups of animals. Functional assessments...

BACKGROUND Mature autogenous arteriovenous fistulas have better long term patency and require fewer secondary interventions compared to arteriovenous prosthetic graft. Our Study evaluated vascular patency rates and incidence of interventions in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas and grafts. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 166 vascular access operations were performed in 153 patients between De...

PURPOSE This study was designed to clinically and histologically evaluate the integration of titanium implants in different grafting materials used for maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 21 patients and 36 maxillary sinuses were augmented with (1) autogenous particulated bone from the mandibular ramus, (2) bovine hydroxyapatite (BH) with membrane coverag...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to elucidate the effect of autogenous tooth bone material by experimenting on minipig's maxillary sinus and performing histological and histomorphometric analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five 18-24 month-old male minipigs were selected, and right maxillary sinuses were grafted with bone graft material made of their respective autogenous teeth extracted eight weeks ...

Lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from Burkitt's lymphoma or leukocytes of leukemic or healthy donors were examined for their ability to produce autogenous and virus-induced intefferons. All interferon yields were maximal when 107 cells/ ml were incubated for 24 hr on a rotary shaker at 37~ Of 10 viruses tested only Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and reovirus type 3 were found to be effective in...
