Introduction: Congenital and acquired penile curvature has a negative impact on penile aesthetics, sexual capabilities, and male psychology. Surgical procedures yield satisfactory correction of curvature, but are usually associated with penile shortening and palpable suture material and nodules under the skin, resulting in patient dissatisfaction. Aims: To present a novel technique using a subc...

background: this was a retrospective cephalometric study to develop a more precise estimation of soft tissue changes related to underlying tooth movment than simple relatioship betweenhard and soft tissues. materials and methods: the lateral cephalograms of 61 adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment (31 = premolar extraction, 31 = nonextraction) were obtained, scanned and digitized befo...

Many interventional procedures, e.g., biopsies and tumor ablation, imply the insertion of a needle into soft tissues. The interaction force at tip can convey information important for accuracy placement patient’s safety. This is essential when feedback from an imaging system missing or only available low rate. To isolate exchanged during insertion, it necessary to remove other components needle...

Dental implants have proven to be a successful treatment option in fully and partially edentulous patients, rendering long-term functional and esthetic outcomes. Various factors are crucial for predictable long-term peri-implant tissue stability, including the biologic width; the papilla height and the mucosal soft-tissue level; the amounts of soft-tissue volume and keratinized tissue; and the ...

a 4-month-old, intact male domestic short-hair cat was presented to veterinary hospital with an acuteonset of regurgitation and respiratory distress. thoracic and abdominal radiographs identified a massconsisted of a heterogeneous mixture of soft tissue and gas densities between heart and craniodorsal part of the diaphragm that was shifted to the left. the stomach could not be seen clearly. rad...

objective: sarcomas are neoplasms of mesenchymal (stem cell) origin and are rare skin diseases of cats and may occur anywhere on the cat body.the main etiologies of soft tissue sarcomas are feline sarcoma virus induced sarcomas, vaccine site sarcomas, trauma, inflammation and radiation. methods: in march 2014, a three years old male domestic shorthair cat were referred to a private veterinary c...

Modeling the mechanical behavior of soft tissue probe insertion remains a challenging endeavor due to involved interdependent phenomena comprising nonlinear deformation, contact between and tissue, crack propagation, viscoelastic effects. To that matter, cohesive elements allow simulating formation which provides promising path modeling in tissues. As such, aim present study was investigate fea...
