Private vs. Community Management Responses to De-Collectivization: Illustrative Cases from China

Application of Ecological Theory to Management of Arid Drylands: An Example from China

The notion of a single ‘‘pristine’’ final state is onlyconceptual in nature, and because of this, dynamic thresholds and the effects...

Systemic amyloidosis--three illustrative cases.

Amyloidosis is characterised by the extracellular deposition of abnormal protein fibrils. Recent advances in the study of amyloidosis have been based on the chemical analysis of these protein fibrils.1,2 This has also led to a more rational classification of the condition (Fig 1). Further discussion of localised forms of amyloidosis is outside the scope of this article, which will be confined t...

Pathological Amenorrhœa from Other Than Constitutional Causes, with Illustrative Cases

Management of perforations: four cases from two private practices with medium- to long-term recalls.

INTRODUCTION Perforation repair is a fairly common endodontic procedure, but most of the recall data in the endodontic literature are short-term (ie, 1-2 years). The purpose of this article was to present 4 clinical cases of perforation repair with medium- to long-term recalls. METHODS Four cases were selected with different clinical scenarios. Three nonsurgical cases were retreated, repaired...
