Right-sided aortic arches are rare, affecting approximately 0.1% of the population. They are a result of abnormal development of the primitive aortic arches and may present later in life with later life with aneurysmal expansion of the aberrant left subclavian artery 'Kommerell's diverticulum'. These can be challenging to treat effectively. We report a rare case presenting with mild dysphagia a...

Various methods for surgical repair of the aortic arch are described throughout the literature with many focused on cannulation techniques and degree of systemic cooling in an effort to reduce postoperative morbidities. Despite advancements in techniques, this surgery is still often associated with higher levels of blood loss and subsequent allogenic blood transfusions. Although blood products ...

background: the purpose of this study was to assess the dental arch dimensions in primary dentition of 3-5 years old filipino children and determining the existence of sexual dimorphism. m aterials and methods: in this descriptive study, 60 filipino preschool children aged 3-5 years old were selected from manila city. study casts were used for measurements of 3 arch dimensions: bicanine width, ...

The objective of this study is to evaluate techniques of impression for crowns and bridges sent to commercial laboratories from private practitioners. A number of 156 impressions for dental crown and bridges were examined. The most widely used impression technique is segmental dual arch with two different consistency condensation cured silicone impression material.

Retrospective, multicenter review between January 2015 and December 2019. A total of 272 patients were treated for symptomatic aortic arch occlusive disease. Successful revascularization rate was significantly higher in the stenotic group (94%) compared to (86%). Dual access used more often treat occlusions (60%) than stenoses (11%). The major adverse event 9% dual cases vs 5% single (P = .15)....

OBJECTIVE To compare, in vitro, the accuracy between dental stone casts obtained from the first and the second pour using metallic (Smart) and plastic (Triple Tray) dual-arch trays. MATERIAL AND METHODS The impressions were taken using Flexitime® vinyl polysiloxane from a typodont model with a mandibular right first molar prepared for a full crown. Ten impressions were made with each tray and...

the osteology of the hyoid and branchial arches in several representatives of eurypterygian fishes were examined. the hyoid arches consist of a single basihyal and urohyal, and the arch on each side consists of a dorsal and a ventral hypohyal, an anterior and posterior ceratohyal, an interhyal, and branchiostegal rays that are borne on the ceratohyals. the branchial arches consist of three sing...

We study a deformation of N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory by a dimension-5 vector operator. There is a simple nonlocal “dipole” field-theory that realizes this deformation. We present evidence that this theory is realized in the setting of “pinned-branes.” The dipoles correspond to open strings that arch out of the brane. We find the gravitational dual of the theory at large N . We also discuss t...

Aortoesophageal fistula is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. The disease is with high mortality due to aneurysm rupture, and thus successfully managed cases are rarely reported. Here, we report a case of aortoesophageal fistula caused by a huge descending aneurysm and another smaller aneurysm found in the aortic arch. Such case was relatively rare in the cardiovascular field. Due to th...
