Prosthesis Fitting
Abstract
We analyzed the response of a stenotic trachea after a stent implantation. An endotracheal stent is the common treatment for tracheal diseases such as stenosis, chronic cough, or dispnoea episodes. Medical treatment and surgical techniques are still challenging due to the difficulties in overcoming...

Abstract
This in-vitro study compared the marginal and internal fit and also the microleakage of zirconia infrastructures (Procera All-Zircon, Cercon Smart Ceramics) in contrast to heat-pressed ones (Empress 2).Thirty maxillary premolars (n=30) were divided into three groups (n=10) and prepared with individua...

Abstract
Hearing could be preserved in all subjects. Speech understanding showed significant improvement in all tests over time with the EAS condition outperforming the cochlear implant-only condition at all intervals. These considerable effects were also reflected in the subjective benefit outcome....

Noise and Health (13)51 2011
Abstract
We examine one of those methods, namely the field microphone-in-real-ear (F-MIRE) approach in which a dual-element microphone probe is used to measure noise reduction by quickly sampling the difference in noise levels outside and under an earplug, with appropriate adjustments to predict real-ear att...

Noise and Health (13)51 2011
Abstract
Noise-induced hearing loss is almost always preventable if properly fitted hearing protectors are worn to reduce exposure. Many individuals choose not to wear hearing protection because it may interfere with effective communication in the workplace or it may be uncomfortable. Hearing protector comfor...

Fit of screw-retained fixed implant frameworks fabricated by different methods: a systematic review.
Abstract
Cast noble metal frameworks have a predictable fit, and additional fit refinement treatment is not indicated in well-controlled conditions. Base metal castings do not provide a satisfactory level of fit unless additional refinement treatment is performed, such as sectioning and laser welding or spar...

Abstract
This paper describes a preliminary laboratory-based evaluation of a method for fitting hearing aids with an extended high-frequency response, called CAMEQ2-HF. Linear filtering was used to implement the CAMEQ2-HF-prescribed gains for speech with an input level of 65 dB SPL. The results obtained usin...

Orthopedics (33)9 2010
Abstract
Early causes of hip pain within the first year of total hip replacement (THR) include failure of fixation, infection, instability, other sources of pain (eg, lumbar spine), and mechanical dysfunction such as psoas tendon impingement or other soft tissue irritation. Metal-on-metal THRs may present wi...

Orthopedics (33)9 2010
Abstract
Periacetabular osteolysis is the greatest challenge for longevity of total hip arthroplasty. The generation of wear debris from the bearing surface is inevitably going to cause bone loss around the implants. The challenges for the arthroplasty surgeon in managing this problem are: detection, knowing...

Orthopedics (33)9 2010
Abstract
Stiffness after total knee replacement (TKR) is a frustrating complication that has many possible causes. Although the definition of stiffness has changed over the years, most would agree that flexion <75° and a 15° lack of extension constitutes stiffness. The management of this potentially unsati...

Abstract
We found that using the transverse acetabular ligament helped reduce our primary dislocation rate from 3.7% to 1%. The key is good intraoperative exposure. A grading of 1 to 4 was based on 1000 consecutive cases: (1) normal transverse acetabular ligament easily visible on exposure of the acetabulum,...

Abstract
The detection of marginal gaps at the implant-abutment interface is a common clinical task in prosthodontic treatment. For the detection of the gap intraorally, especially under thick soft tissues the most common method is dental radiography.

We investigated whether atorvastatin treatment (30 mg/d) could accelerate the re-endothelialization process and improve the patency rate in a canine infrarenal abdominal aorta-expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) bypass model. Furthermore, we also evaluated the effect of atorvastatin on the migr...

Abstract
The Constant score improved from 23 to 65 points for the anatomical prosthesis and from 15 to 67 points for the inversed endoprosthesis. An analogous improvement was also noted for mobility, strength and pain relief. CONCLUSION: The results of anatomical prostheses depend substantially on the extent...
