C1-C2 coronal and sagittal joint angle based treatment algorithm for the need of transoral odointectomy in complex crani...

Published in British journal of neurosurgery

Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) pathology by virtue of its complexity is a surgical challenge in the realm of neurosurgery. We analyzed the need for transoral odointectomy in view of their C1-C2 joint coronal and sagittal angle of 58 patients with complex CVJ anomalies treated surgically. The clinical and radiological outcome of the patients was ass...

Out of Prison: Towards a Poetic Freedom

The starting point of the present work is a statement made by György Ligeti in 1993. In it, the Hungarian composer expressed his concern to escape both the dangers of traditionalist conventionalism and avant-garde mannerisms. Almost 30 years later, to these Scylla and Charybdis I believe we should add a third danger: that of Postmodernity. My artis...

Is the Consumption of Added Sugar from Common Beverages Associated with the Presence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity ...

Published in Nutrients

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) significantly affects the well-being of medical students in various aspects. Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) pose a potential risk of ADHD. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of ADHD symptoms and the association between consumption of added sugar in common beverages and ADHD symptoms in Thai...

Reduced Use of Antibiotics and Nasal Decongestants During Treatment with a Mouthwash Containing Delmopinol.

Published in Oral health & preventive dentistry

To evaluate the use of concomitant medication in combination with a mouthwash of delmopinol HCl 0.2% based on data from 8 phase III efficacy studies on the mouthwash. Clinical data obtained from 8 previously performed phase III studies, carried out to document the clinical efficacy of a mouthwash of delmopinol HCl 0.2% with respect plaque and gingi...

An approach for simultaneous reduction and fixation of mandibular fractures.

Published in Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering

This article presents a new approach for the design of a flexible V-shaped miniplate for mandibular fractures, which combines simultaneous fracture reduction and fixation. A Computerized Tomography (CT) based finite element model was developed to assess the reliability of this design. Muscle and mastication forces were included to replicate post-su...

When less is more: Experimental Bishop-Koop technique for reduction in the use of laboratory animals for intestinal path...

Published in Laboratory animals

The use of animals to gain knowledge and understanding of diseases needs to be reduced and refined. In the field of intestinal research, because of the complexity of the gut immune system, living models testing is mandatory. Based on the 3Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement) principles, we aimed to developed and apply the derived-intestinal s...

Preparation of layered manganese dioxide nanoparticles by microwave discharge in liquid: a simple, rapid and direct synt...

Published in Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics

Manganese dioxide is one of the key materials in battery, adsorption media, and catalytic materials in the environmental field because of its excellent properties. In this investigation, new synthetical technology—the microwave discharge plasma in liquid method was used directly to make manganese dioxide with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution...
