The Anterior Clinoid Processe (ACP) and Middle Clinoid Process (MCP) are sometimes connected by an osseous bridge formed by ossification of Carotico-clinoid Ligament (CCL), converting the distal end of carotid sulcus into an ostium called the Carotico-clinoid Foramen (CCF). Through the CCF passes one of the segment of Internal Carotid Artery (ICA). The CCF is the result of ossification of eithe...

The myocardial bridge (MB) is an anomaly of the coronary arteries that usually affect the left anterior descending artery (LAD). It mainly affect middle aged patients at low risk for CAD, but can manifest as unstable or stable angina, AMI and sudden death, with the latter two being rare. We report a case of 40 year-old-man, who presented with complaint of severe crushing chest pain associated w...

OBJECTIVE The main goal of this study was to evaluate differences in stress distribution relevant to the number of implants under an anterior bridge when combined with a removable partial denture in the posterior region. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four three-dimensional finite element models (3D FEM) were designed from a mandible containing an implant-supported bridge extending between canines, an...

Pediatric Dentistry – 21:2, 1999 The loss or congenital absence of permanent anterior teeth in young patients has significant psychological ramifications. 2 Typically, adolescent patients are acutely aware of their appearance and its importance in selfimage and social acceptance. Although a variety of treatment approaches are available to provide esthetic replacement of missing anterior permane...

BACKGROUND In autopsy, myocardial bridging is a common finding. With coronary angiography, a systolic compression, mainly of the left anterior descending coronary artery, is observed in 1% to 3% of the patients. Controversy exists concerning the functional importance of this finding. To obtain a functional insight into the myocardial bridging, intravascular ultrasound and intracoronary Doppler ...

A 41-year-old female presented with a large anterior mediastinal mass adjacent to the heart. Biopsy demonstrated lymphoma. Upon administration of chemotherapy, she developed cardiogenic shock requiring a 5-day course of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge through her treatment. After one cycle of chemotherapy, ECMO was discontinued and the patient completed her course of chem...

A variety of therapeutic modalities, from removable partial dentures to conventional fixed space maintainer can be used for the replacement of traumatically missing or carious lost primary anterior teeth. Dentistry has advanced to a point where it is undesirable for children to be partially edentulous or to have unattractive anterior teeth. The introduction of new materials and adhesive systems...
