t implant bone reconstruction using allogenic bone grafts is a technique based on, not only the bone regeneration advantages, but also those of the tissue increase to correct the bone volume lacks in the peri-implant areas. This is about an increase in width of the alveolar crest by adjunctions of allogenic bone grafts which are first adapted to the local tissues and then stabilized with micros...

Introduction: Fixation of massive bone tumour endoprosthetic replacements is not as successful as conventional joint replacement surgery and aseptic loosening is the major cause of implant failure. Increased bone growth and contact to the implan shaft by bony bridging has been shown vital in reducing implant failure. Our previous work has shown that spraying autogenic bone marrow derived mesenc...

This project identified evidence-based psychotherapy treatments for anxiety disorders in older adults. The authors conducted a review of the geriatric anxiety treatment outcome literature by using specific coding criteria and identified 17 studies that met criteria for evidence-based treatments (EBTs). These studies reflected samples of adults with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or samples ...

Two adolescents were hospitalized with incapacitating symptoms: one with headache, back pain, and an inability to walk, while the other had headache, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, and emesis. Medical evaluation did not reveal an etiology for the symptoms of either patient. Consultation with child psychiatry services yielded recommendations that both patients might benefit from counseling. Both ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on change in blood pressure, lung parameters and heart rate in female adolescent asthmatics. METHOD In a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study, adolescent female asthmatics (n=31) were tested to find out how the systolic blood pressure (SBP), forced expiratory volume in the firs...

Metacognitive therapy (MCT) is a recent psychological intervention for emotional disorders. Its efficacy in social anxiety disorder (SAD) is yet to be established. AIMS We examined the effectiveness of an MCT in patients with SAD. A two group case-control design with baseline, post, and 3 months follow-up was adopted. The control group received training in applied relaxation (AR). Four patien...

Background and purpose: Stress contributes to headaches, and effective interventions for headaches routinely include relaxation training (RT) to directly reduce negative emotions and arousal. Yet, suppressing negative emotions, particularly anger, appears to augment pain, and experimental studies suggest that expressing anger may reduce pain. Therefore, we developed and tested anger awareness a...
