Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective intervention for the treatment of arthrosis with excellent survivorship. Nonetheless, dislocation and osteolysis remain significant complications. A dual-mobility acetabular component has been advocated to improve stability and wear. Stability is imparted by increasing the effective femoral head size, which allows a larger range of motion (ROM) befor...

Restoring a large edentulous space in the anterior maxilla presents many challenges, including how to utilize and manage a deep anterior soft tissue undercut. In the case reported here, a partial denture was constructed that incorporated a semi-rigid exterior flange and a soft liner to help the denture to engage the depth of the undercut. The denture was placed after extraction of the anterior ...

We report a case of late dissociation of a one-piece metal-backed acetabular component, associated with a prolific soft-tissue reaction to the polyethylene debris. The polyethylene liner was not visible on the radiographs. The metal-backed shell could not be removed because of bone ingrowth. We recommend that modular systems be utilised in cementless arthroplasty of the hip and that radiographi...

Many patients use household cleaners to clean denture which can cause discoloration and damage soft liners. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of household cleansers on the color change of two types of permanent soft liners. Methods: In this interventional study, 80 permanent silicone soft liners, including 40 heat-cured liners (Molloplast-B, Detax Gmbh & Co. ...

BACKGROUND Personality traits are associated with health outcomes including non-communicable diseases. This could be partly explained by lifestyle related factors including diet. The personality traits neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness are linked with resilience, meaning adaptability in challenging situations. Resilient people usually comply with favorabl...

Based on a case report in which wear of the polyethylene liner in an uncemented hip prosthesis led to the development of an intrapelvic mass, the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment are described. Characteristic osseous and soft tissue reactions caused by release of polyethylene particles to periarticular tissue are discussed as well as the differential diagnosis with infectious and malignant...

For a smart city, soft or non-physical assets share an important capital component with many impacts in different contexts. They enable city to deliver and mainstream people-centered policy addition the benefits provided by traditional, hard infrastructure. Soft can involve social human capital, knowledge, participation, innovative approaches that drive value city. However, it is always challen...
