the musculoskeletal extrapulmonary tuberculosis is uncommon, the upper extremity tuberculosis is not common and the mycobacterial involvement of skin of hands and synovial sheath of tendons is rare. this prospective observational study was undertaken between august  2014 and december 2015 in a tertiary referral hospital. patients attending with suspected primary tuberculosis of soft tissue of t...

General term of implantation implies insertion of biomaterials of different designs into the tissues. Oral implantation is a surgical insertion of aloplastic materials (metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, carbons as well as their combinations) into the hard and soft tissues of the upper and lower jaws . The essence of implantology lies in favorable reaction of the organism to the presence of fo...

today, the treatment of patellar luxations using current techniques has become a very common procedureas part of the surgical treatment. nevertheless, there are some doubts about such procedures in restraining the patella in lower grade cases. the purpose of the present retrospective clinical study was to determine theefficacy of the soft tissue and bone reconstructive procedures used for vario...

introduction microbial plaque is the main etiologic factor which causes disease in soft tissue around dental implants. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plaque on health indicies of soft tissue around dental implants. methods and materials 45 patients with 211 dental implants were examined clinically for four years after prosthodontic treatment. plaque index and health ind...

A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. An experimental system for measuring planar tissue phantom deformation during needle insertions has been developed and is presented. A two-dimensional linear elastostatic material model, discretised using the finite element method, is used to derive contact force information that ...

Introduction: Mandibular continuity defects after pathologic resections or traumatic events are difficult cases for reconstruction. Defects involving both hard and soft tissue loss are more challenging, because of problems in soft tissue coverage. The role of the submental flap in this regard is presented.   Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study from the archived files of Ghaem Hospi...

dry eye is the major contributor to computer vision syndrome. the reductions in the blink rate and amplitude have been considered as the possible mechanisms leading to this condition. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in the lower tear meniscus heights and areas in the computer reading task, in dry eye subjects, with and without soft contact lenses. in this quasi-experimental...
