The objective of this article is to review the literature which describes the evolving role of cone-beam computed tomography in dental implant treatment planning. The literature supports the use of CBCT in dental implant treatment planning particularly in regards to linear measurements, three-dimensional evaluation of alveolar ridge topography, proximity to vital anatomical structures, and fabr...

variations in arterial anatomy are less frequent, contrary to the venous system, and most of these variations affect visceral arteries. variations in the brachial artery are the most frequently reported and so far a minimum of six different patterns have been described. the most common of these patterns is the superficial brachial artery, which lies superficially to the median nerve. much less ...

patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, we evaluated all patients referred to a single rheumatology clinic for bone mineral density measurements from 2009 to 2010. all patients who had bone mineral density measurements taken from the hip, lumbar spine, forearm, and whole body were enrolled in the study. standard bone mineral density measurements were performed using a dual energy x-...

On the one hand, the autonomic [2] and haemodynamic effects [3–5] of postural manipulation have been shown to be both minimal and short lived. I surmise that the adverse effects observed may have been self-correcting during the course of PLE, rather than only after resumption of the supine position (i.e. before time point 4). This perhaps thereby minimises the clinical importance of these effec...

Background & Aims: supracondylar humerus fracture is one of the most common pediatric elbow fractures accounting for about 16% of the pediatric fractures. Loss of reduction is one of the complications after closed and percutaneous fixation. This research is aimed to investigate the factors involved in the loss of reduction. Method: In this descriptive study, the children with supracondylar hum...

Anatomy is a major organizing principle for dis-eases. In the formal definitions provided by SNOMED CT, for example, the role 'finding site' relates disorders to anatomical entities. This study investigates SNOMED CT and compares the anatomy-based classification of diseases supported by the role finding site to the anatomy-based classification of diseases provided by subsumption (is-a) relation...
