This implant is implanted directly into the jawbone via a surgical procedure. Once the healing period after this procedure is over, a seconds surgery is performed to connect the tissue with the implant. The final step involves attaching the artificial teeth or tooth, as a group or one by one...
After hydrogen permeation, the steady-state permeation current density of the coating was only 0.13 μA/cm2 and the hydrogen resistance of the substrate improved. The above experimental analysis shows that aluminum seepage via the PC method is easy to implement, and the thickness and structure of...
wherein the control unit is configured to receive and analyze the sensor signals at a first time and a second time after the first time, and to modify the eating detection threshold responsive to a relationship between the sensor signals received at the first and the second times, and wherein...
Today, this has become a requirement with far more implications than there were in the past. A woman would be looking at breast surgery for a wide range of reasons. It could be that she wants her breasts reconstructed after a mastectomy or it might be because she had the misfortune of ha...
To examine whether the NPY-feeding system interacts with the pituitary-adrenal axis, the eating response to PVN injections of NPY (78 pmol) was tested in adult male rats before and after sham surgery, adrenalectomy (ADX), hypophysectomy (HYPX), and/or corticosterone (CORT) replacement therapy...
decreased on average by about 20% beginning about one minute after the initiation of eating, and is therefore considered to be a good indication of the initiation and continuation of eating. (Decreases of up to about 50% were seen in other experiments.) Alternatively or additionally, responsive...
Two weeks after surgery, we subjected these mice to repeated cycles of Re-HFD access with accompanying CNO administrations (2 mg per kg body weight, i.p.; Fig. 5g). Although ELT Lepr-Cre mice expressing mCherry alone showed the expected increase in binge-like eating over repeated cycles...
Reconstruction with fibular autograft and silicone implant arthroplasty after resection of giant-cell tumour of the proximal phalanx: a case report with 18... Primary giant-cell tumour of phalanx is a rare entity. Only few cases are described in the literature. Giant-cell tumour of hand is repo...
We recently encountered a patient with progressive restrictive strabismus beginning 8 years after retinal detachment repair with a MIRAgel (hydrogel; MIRA, Uxbridge, MA) scleral buckle. Worsening complaints of diplopia and discomfort led to strabismus surgery. Untreatable retinal detachment resulted in ...
