Secondary caries, the lesion at the margin of a restoration, has been widely considered as the most important and common reason for restoration replacement, regardless of the restorative material type [Collins et al., 1998; Dahl and Eriksen, 1978; Deligeorgi et al., 2001; Friedl et al., 1995; Mjör, 2005; Mjör and Toffenetti, 2000;]. As it develops after the initial caries has been removed and r...

Translation between media is often used to make information encoded in one modality available to users who are unable to make use of that modality. Translation acts on the primary means of encoding the info rmation (e.g., text, sound). Secondary encoding (e.g., color, intonations) is often added to primarily encoded information to help the user correctly interpret its intended meaning. During t...

The present paper examines the sociological factors affecting the decline in academic failure. In this study, the theoretical approaches of functionalism, structuralism, interactivity and critique are used. Using literature and research history, four hypotheses were extracted. From the point of view of the target, it is a survey method. The statistical population of this research includes secon...

A 27-year-old black woman presented with complaints of skin lesions on the vulva, back, nipple and ear. Darkfield examination of the cxudate from the moist vulvar papules (A) revealed motile spirochetes. A VDRL was reactive at a titer of 1:1,024. A papular lesion with raised borders (annular syphilid) (B) was discovered during examination of the back. Split papules were also discovered on the n...

The cutaneous manifestations of syphilis are many. Most commonly one sees macular, papular, and papulosquamous lesions. Rarely, except in infants, are the lesions vesicular and only occasionally are they pustular (Pillsbury, Shelley, and Kligman, 1956; Pariser, 1964). The pustular lesions may easily be misdiagnosed unless the clinician is aided by the presence of a persistent primary lesion or ...

Immune deficiencies that develop in previously immunologically intact individuals are called secondary immunodeficiencies; they are a result of diverse external factors (infections, surgery and trauma, malnutrition, drugs) and a number of human diseases, including malignancy, nephrotic syndrome and protein-losing enteropathy. Immunodeficiencies render the host markedly susceptible to viral and ...

The secondary hyperlipidaemias occur remarkably frequently, and the underlying cause of high serum lipid levels will often be missed if it is not actively sought. Diagnosis is important because the lipid abnormality responds to treatment of the primary disorder in most cases; notable exceptions to this, however, are the hyperlipidaemias associated with gout and chronic renal failure. The condit...

To estimate the incidence and causes of secondary thrombocytosis in children, a 12 month study of all patients attending a children's hospital and discovered to have a platelet count over two times the upper normal limit (>800xlO9//l) was undertaken. Data so obtained were analysed both separately and together with those from two previous studies to gain as broad a perspective as possible. Of 79...

Our study of 1,254 patients with uveitis disclosed that nearly 10% had glaucoma as an additional visionrobbing feature of their disease, adding yet another dimension to the difficulties already posed by the inflammatory insult to the macula. Our data were similar to prior reports of the prevalence of glaucoma associated with selected specific uveitic entities.2-12 The prevalence has been especi...
