Inhalation of Beryllium (Be) dust, or its vapors or compounds, or subcutaneous implantation of Beryllium can lead to either acute or chronic beryllium disease, also known as berylliosis. It can affect genetically susceptible individuals or workers exposed to the fumes or vapors of the metal. It was first described by Hardy and Tabershaw in 1946. Beryllium can cause either an immediate acute for...

Device-based therapies increase therapeutic options for the treatment of hypertension for patients who fail polypharmacy because of adverse reactions or choice. Here we report the physiology related to a device, which uniquely addresses the structural pathogenesis of hypertension. Creation of a fixed-size central arteriovenous anastomosis mechanically causes an immediate and significant reducti...

PURPOSE: The ideal monitoring tool to evaluate free flap success should be minimally invasive, continuous, costeffective and reliable. Our group has previously introduced implantable oxygen sensors as a mean to monitor flaps in the immediate post-operative period and detect acute vascular compromise. The purpose of the current study was to compare and contrast intradermal vs. subcutaneous impla...

OBJECTIVES This study examined the immediate angiographic and long-term clinical results of stenting saphenous vein graft aorto-ostial stenosis at a single center. BACKGROUND Data on the feasibility, safety and short- and long-term clinical results of stent implantation in aorto-ostial lesions in patients with unstable angina are limited. METHODS Palmaz or Palmaz-Schatz stents were deployed...

Objectives: This study describes a real-world experience of implanting novel balloon expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared to devices commonly used in clinical practice. As secondary objective, the effect angioplasty (BAV) before TAVR on transvalvular gradient 1 and 30 days after implantation was evaluated. Background: For most commercial valves, 30-day average mean ...

discussion this segmental ridge-split procedure with gradual bone expansion provides a quicker method wherein an atrophic ridge can be predictably expanded and eliminating the need for a second surgical site. this technique also shows that immediate implantation in split ridge of mandible can be performed. introduction narrow alveolar ridges especially in posterior mandibular remains a serious ...
