3DCT & MPR in Craniofacial Fractures

3DCT evaluation of acromial coverage

Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. It is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. Cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibro...

Rejection and killing, without MPR

An interaction that gets things started he nuclear envelope clearly helps regulate eukaryotic DNA replication, but many of the molecular pieces of this process are still unknown. On page 177, Martins et al. describe a novel, direct interaction between the nuclear envelope and the genome, mediated by the inner nuclear membrane protein LAP2b and the nuclear matrix– associated protein HA95, that i...

The role of three-dimensional computed tomography in the management of maxillofacial bone fractures.

The findings of three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) and two-dimensional computed tomography (2DCT) with helical CT scanning were compared for 21 patients with maxillofacial bone fractures. The results of this study suggest that the 3DCT evaluation can be divided into 3 groups. The first group, in which 3DCT is superior to 2DCT, includes severe complicated midface fractures, for example...

OLSR and MPR: Mutual Dependences and Performances

Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR) is one promising routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. It recently reached the RFC step and is still under improvement before becoming a standard. Since its first design, OLSR has been associated with the Multipoint Relay (MPR) protocol to reduce the flooding of OLSR topological messages. Many papers has been written on possible promising solu...
