We report a case of vagally mediated atrial fibrillation on a young otherwise healthy man, with straight type ST-segment elevation in inferolateral leads that resolved a few hours after restoration of sinus rythm, a phenomenon that has never been previously reported. Even though no definite conclusion about the underlying mechanism of the ST-elevation can be made, this effect might probably be ...

Background: Although elevation of the sinus can be considered a predictable procedure, it is nonetheless not free complications, for which reason there constant search new tools and techniques that may reduce these complications. The present study focused on maxillary lifts performed pig heads cadavers, using device with balloon technique. Materials Methods: Fifteen ex vivo adult were used in t...

BACKGROUND Dental implant placement in the posterior maxilla may be complicated by implant migration into the maxillary sinus. PURPOSE To report the clinical and radiological characteristics of a patient who experienced dental implant displacement into the maxillary sinus following sinus floor elevation, and to compare our findings with those of other published reports of the displacement of ...

_Since its introduction, sinus floor augmentation has generated great interest in the international scientific community and been subject to many changes in procedure. The first documented maxillary sinus augmentations using bone grafts date back to the work of Philip J. Boyne in the 1960s.1 An access osteotomy to elevate the sinus membrane can be performed by a vestibular or a crestal approach...

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:85-9) Objectives: This study was to evaluate the effect of vertical bone gain and success rate and analyze the failure cases using the hydrodynamic piezoelectric internal sinus elevation (HPISE) technique. Materials and Methods: Patients who had been operated in the three centers including Daegu Catholic University Medical Center were selected for thi...

BACKGROUND Factors associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) in general population have been described, but it is still unknown whether the same risk factors apply to heart failure (HF) patients. The aim of this study was to identify clinical factors related to various forms of AF in HF patients. METHODS The clinical and echocardiographic characteristics were assessed in 155...
