BACKGROUND The tissue growth necessary to achieve a complete or partial restitution ad integrum as a result of injury to soft tissue and/or hard times in reptiles is variable and often needs long time in relation to the species, to the habitat and to their intrinsic physiological characteristics. The purpose of this work was to see if the tissue optimization (TO) treatment with radio electric a...

The regeneration of bone tissue is the main purpose of most therapies in dental medicine. For bone regeneration, calcium phosphate (CaP)-based substitute materials based on natural (allo- and xenografts) and synthetic origins (alloplastic materials) are applied for guiding the regeneration processes. The optimal bone substitute has to act as a substrate for bone ingrowth into a defect, as well ...

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a rare entity. We report a case of thoracolumbar SSEH in a 69 years-old woman, that occurred in 2005 without an etiologic factor to justify it. She recovered ad integrum after surgical decompressive treatment. We reviewed and discussed etiology, presentation, diagnostic approaches, and treatment.

We report a case of polyarthritis with axial involvement in a young female patient treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Detection in the hip fluid of Ureaplasma urealyticum by broad-range PCR followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry allowed the diagnosis of septic arthritis and ad integrum recovery upon adapted antibiotic therapy.

The effective Serbian Law on Obligations in the most part retained general rules invalidity of contracts from former federal 1978. explicitly differentiates two categories invalid contracts: null and void contracts, one hand, voidable other. Whereas legal consequences both are principally same, restitutio integrum, have some other, more stringent as well. important is ban restitution performanc...

Construction of the action potential duration (APD) restitution portrait allows visualization of multiple aspects of the dynamics of periodically paced myocytes at various basic cycle lengths (BCLs). For the first time, we obtained the restitution portrait of isolated rabbit and guinea pig cardiac ventricular myocytes and analyzed the time constant, tau, of APD accommodation and the slopes of d...

The onset of ventricular fibrillation (VF) has been associated with steep action potential duration restitution in both clinical and computational studies. Recently, detailed clinical restitution properties in cardiac patients were reported showing a substantial degree of heterogeneity in restitution slopes at the epicardium of the ventricles. The aim of the present study was to investigate the...

Action potential duration (APD) restitution properties and repolarization alternans are thought to be important arrhythmogenic factors. We investigated the role of intracellular calcium (Ca2+i) cycling in regulating APD restitution slope and repolarization (APD) alternans in patch-clamped rabbit ventricular myocytes at 34 to 36 degrees C, using the perforated or ruptured patch clamp techniques ...

We study numerically the dynamics of spiral waves in an excitable medium with negative restitution. For our study we use two models of the excitable medium: a cellular automaton and a reaction-diffusion model. There are no significant effects of negative restitution as long as the slope of the restitution curve is less steep than -1. In media with slopes steeper than -1, the dynamics of spiral ...

BACKGROUND We tested the hypothesis that action potential duration (APD) restitution of normal ventricular muscle cells is different during double premature stimuli (S3) compared with a single premature stimulus (S2). We propose a possible ionic mechanism for such a difference. METHODS AND RESULTS Action potentials and isometric tension were recorded simultaneously from isolated canine right ...
