Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...

The litter size of homozygous Booroola Merino ewes results in high perinatal mortality. One subcutaneous implant of crystaline oestradiol in silastic tubing in heterozygous Booroola Merino ewes decreased ovulation rate from 3.18 -r0.15 (n = 39) to 2.03 & 0.14 (n = 35), and decreased litter size (5 8 weeks pregnant) from 2.49 + 0.13 (n = 39) to 1.47 + 0.12 (n = 32), providing a useful management...

Preoperative templating in Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a method to estimate the optimal size and position of the implant. Today, observational (manual) size recognition techniques are still used to find a suitable implant for the patient. Therefore, a digital and automated technique should be developed so that the implant size recognition process can be effectively implemented. For this purp...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of digital panoramic radiography in estimating the crestal width of implant fixtures after surgery. Materials and Methods:We selected 241 digital panoramic images after implant insertion which had documented information of their actual size. The crestal width was measured on radiographs. We compared two measuring methods in diff...

BACKGROUND Breast augmentation is the most frequent procedure performed according to the 2009 Quick Facts report of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This study presents the periareolar extra-glandular breast augmentation. METHODS From 2004 to 2010 among 32 female patients, peri-areolar incision was performed for breast augmentation. Dissection was performed in subcutaneous plane tow...

PURPOSE Breast volume assessment is one of the most important steps during implant-based breast reconstruction because it is critical in selecting implant size. According to previous studies, there is a close relationship between the mastectomy specimen weight and resected breast volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term patient satisfaction with implant-based breast reconstructio...

Background: The Patterson-Parker table was created in 1934 to determine mg-hr required to deliver the prescribed dose to the treatment area. These tables were created using the dosimetric data for 226Ra that was determined in air and were utilized for dose calculations around implants with Ra-equivalent radionuclides such as 137Cs and 192Ir. Therefore, the differences of the tissue attenuation ...
