PURPOSE One of the major keys to achieve successful osseointegration of the implant is its surface properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the bone response to dental implants with different surface characteristics using the rabbit tibia model. Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) coated, anodic oxidized and turned (control) surfaces were compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy two implant...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to quantify blood vessel density (BVD) and immunoreactive vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in endometrial biopsies taken from women suffering breakthrough bleeding (BTB) under different exogenous hormonal regimes. METHODS Endometrial biopsies from women in Melbourne with BTB were divided into four groups: combined-continuous hormone therapy...

Previous studies in humans have shown that bilateral loss of vestibular function is associated with a significant bilateral atrophy of the hippocampus, which correlated with the patients' spatial memory deficits. More recently, patients who had recovered from unilateral vestibular neuritis have been reported to exhibit a significant atrophy of the left posterior hippocampus. Therefore, we inves...

BACKGROUND Lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis are essential for tumour development and progression. The lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and blood vessel density (BVD) and their relationship to outcome have been studied extensively, however the clinical significance of the location of LVD/BVD in tumour is not known. In the present study, the location and degree of LVD/BVD and their relationship t...

In Egypt, bovine virus diarrhoea-mucosal disease (BVD-MD) was initially detected as the result of a serological survey of cattle and sheep, using the serum neutralisation test. In 1970, the causal pestivirus was isolated from bovine calves and buffalo calves with pneumonia and enteritis. Mixed viral infections were also prevalent. Cases of immune tolerance were identified. The Egyptian industry...

Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) and Infectious Rhinotracheitis (IBR) are the most prevalent viral diseases that cause abortion in cattle. There many studies conducted Turkey to show occurrence of them. This paper aims analyse these systematically. For this purpose, 11 suitable were selected from 1995-2014 review. It was observed those high prevalence Turkey, BVD IBR ranged between 14 % - 81 43 -72...

BACKGROUND The temporal sensitivity of the surveillance system (TemSSe) for Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) in Danish dairy herds was evaluated. Currently, the Danish antibody blocking ELISA is used to test quarterly bulk tank milk (BTM). To optimize the surveillance system as an early warning system, we considered the possibility of using the SVANOVIR ELISA, as this test has been shown to detect B...
