INTRODUCTION The occurrence of endogenous endophthalmitis is well known in the settings of bacteremia or candidemia, although its association with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a 39 year old man who presented with acute vision loss six weeks after a lower extremity dog bite. Further workup reveale...

Control over the integrative self-sorting of metallo-supramolecular assemblies opens up possibilities for introducing increased complexity and function into a single self-assembled architecture. Herein, the relationship between the geometry of three ligand components and morphology of three self-sorted heteroleptic [Pd2 L2 L'2 ]4+ cages is examined. Pd-mediated assembly of two bis-monodentate p...

INTRODUCTION Despite a reported socioeconomic gradient in health, little is known about relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and frequency of dog-bite injuries. The primary objective of this study was to compare the frequency of dog-bite injuries, using data on dog-bite injury hospitalizations (DBIH), across different SES areas in Manitoba, Canada. The secondary objective of the stud...

The purpose of this study was to determine the need for supplemental periapical radiographs in planning restorative services and pulp treatment for primary molars when a child’s bite-wing radiographs were taken with No. Oor No. 2-size film. Forty-eight good quality bite-wing radiographs were selected from patients 5-7 years of age and sorted into four groups containing 12 films classified accor...

Bite performance in lizards influences many aspects of the animal's lifestyle. During feeding, inter- and intrasexual interactions, and defensive behavior, the ability to bite hard might be advantageous. Although biomechanical considerations predict clear relations between head shape and bite performance, this has rarely been tested. Here we investigate the effect of head shape on bite performa...

Here, we document in-vivo bite forces recorded from wild piranhas. Integrating this empirical data with allometry, bite simulations, and FEA, we have reconstructed the bite capabilities and potential feeding ecology of the extinct giant Miocene piranha, Megapiranha paranensis. An anterior bite force of 320 N from the black piranha, Serrasalmus rhombeus, is the strongest bite force recorded for ...

INTRODUCTION: Deep bite causes a traumatic occlusion, which exerts pressure on the supporting structures with increase in rate of inflammation and damage to periodontal tissue. The continuous produces an injury gingival surface tissues opposing teeth arch.AIM OF THE STUDY: aim present study was determine correlation between deep problems anterior patients requiring Orthodontic treatments.MATERI...

The association of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) with Lyme borreliosis has only been reported for the C1q-negative subtype. A 64-year-old male presenting with rising creatinine, nephrotic syndrome and monoarthritis few months after a tick bite was noted to have mixed cryoglobulinaemia, a positive borrelia western blot and ‘full-house’ pattern MPGN with interstitial granuloma. ...
