Prosthetics: Galvanic effect

Spin-Galvanic Effect in Quantum Wells

It is shown that a homogeneous non-equlibrium spin-polarization in semiconductor heterostructures results in an electric current. The microscopic origin of the effect is an inherent asymmetry of spin-flip scattering in systems with lifted spin degeneracy caused by k-linear terms in the Hamiltonian.

Prosthetics / Amputations

The technique of hydrogen clearance has been used in five canines to monitor blood flow in gastrocnemius muscle following sympathectomy. The contralateral nonsympathectomized limb was used as a control . Average blood flow was based on 22 pairs of desaturation data . Average blood flow in the left control limb was 6.08 ± 2 .22 ml/min/100g tissue and the right sympathectomized limb was 9.54 ± 3 ...

Simplified fixed implant prosthetics.

This article discusses a “simplified fixed implant prosthetics” (SFIP) protocol that offers the entire implant team simplicity and increased predictability for fixed implant prosthetics.1 The restorative dentist only has to take a crown and bridge impression to provide the final fixed implant prosthesis. The protocol involves the implant surgeon following a 2-step process of making an index imp...

Effect of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation on Recovery from Gaze Palsy

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on recovery from gaze palsy. Twenty patients with gaze palsy, (14 males and 6 females) their age ranged from 20–63 years with mean age 47.9±12.5 years. Duration of gaze palsy ranged from 4–24 months with mean of 10.6±5.23. Twelve patients were post stroke and eight patients with definite multiple scler...
