Comparison of osteogenic potential of poly-ether-ether-ketone with titanium-coated poly-ether-ether-ketone and titanium-blended poly-ether-ether-ketone: An in vitro study

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK), a high-performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer, has been employed to replace the metallic implant components in orthopedics. There were various studies performed in accordance to medical grade PEEK, but the relationship between titanium dioxide (TiO2)-coated PEEK, TiO2-blended PEEK, and untreated PEEK still remains complicated, eve...

O 18: Autoimmune Dementia

Dementia is defined as significant acquired cognitive impairment in one or more cognitive domains that represents a significant decline from previous baseline and interferes with independence in daily activities. Autoimmune dementia is a term that has been used to describe a steroid-responsive autoimmune disorder characterized by a rapidly progressive dementia with a fluctuating course. Even co...

Dementia caused by dural arteriovenous fistulas reversed following endovascular therapy.

We describe two patients who presented with dementia as the primary neurological manifestation of their dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). Although dementia is not the most common presentation for a dAVF, these cases show that obliterating the fistula can eliminate this dreadful manifestation. This awareness may facilitate the diagnosis of dementia in cases caused by dAVF and allow for a minim...

Survival in end-stage dementia following acute illness.

CONTEXT Little is known about the prognosis of acutely ill patients with end-stage dementia or about the type of care that these patients receive. If their prognosis is poor, then emphasis should be placed on palliative care for these patients rather than on curative interventions. OBJECTIVES To examine survival for patients with end-stage dementia following hospitalization for hip fracture o...
