Fig. 2 : CT Aortogram showing non-opacifi cation (arrow) of aorta just distal to origin of a dilated left subclavian artery suggestive of coarctation.

We report a case of impingement in a metal-on-metal total hip replacement causing both notching of the femoral stem neck and aseptic loosening of the acetabular component. The acetabular component was inserted in excessive anteversion. The femoral stem and acetabular components were retrieved. A larger femoral head was used, and an acetabular component was placed in a less anteverted position. ...

BackgroundReverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a reliable, long-term treatment option for degenerative pathology. However, the functional outcomes degrade around fifth year postoperation, particularly internal and external rotation. Long-term radiographic changes have been reported humeral stem, depending on fixation method.ObjectivesThe primary objective was to compare clinical of RSAs by me...

Abstract Background According to current guidelines, the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) relies on echocardiographic probability followed by right heart catheterization. How echocardiography predicts PH recently re-defined a mean artery pressure (mPAP) >20 mmHg instead ≥25 and vascular disease defined resistance (PVR) >3 or >2 Wood units has not been established. M...

Abstract Background Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a valuable solution for patients with pain or injury primarily due to rotator cuff tear secondary traumatic events. Nevertheless, several complications are known appear, the most frequent being scapular notching (SN) on inferior and posterior neck. Controversial data exist about clinical relevance of SN. Since further consequences still...

Aim of the study To evaluate the value of uterine artery Doppler indices and waveform pattern in predicting fetuses at risk for intrauterine growth restriction in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Materials and methods This was a prospective cross-sectional study including 80 pregnant subjects with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and two control groups. Uterine artery Doppler sonograph...

We present a two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation of profile evolution during the overetching step of polysilicon-on-insulator structures, which considers explicitly ~a! electric field effects during the charging transient, ~b! etching reactions of energetic ions impinging on the poly-Si, and ~c! forward inelastic scattering effects. Realistic energy and angular distributions for ions and ele...

Background: Current evidence on factors influencing the outcome of Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting (SABG) in cleft lip/palate patients is ambiguous and further deliberations are required to provide solid proof on prognostic criteria. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the changes brought about by SABG in cleft depth and alveolar bone support of teeth in the vicinity of ...
