Right coronary artery intervention is usually accomplished with a Judkins right (JR) guide catheter. Abnormal take-off from the sinus poses difficulty in engaging conventional JR We report rare case of primary percutaneous which was performed multipurpose catheter as patient had an extremely low-lying where catheters could not engage octogenarian acute inferior wall ST-elevation myocardial infa...

PURPOSE It was the aim of the present study to clinically evaluate the success of osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation (OMSFE) using autogenous and xenogenic bone and a variety of screw-type implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS From August 1995 to February 2003, 276 OMSFE procedures with simultaneous implant placement were completed in 167 patients. RESULTS The mean residual bone height (RBH...

Introduction In the posterior maxillary sextants, insertion of implants of desired length and diameter is often limited by the dimensional alterations of the residual ridge as well as the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus occurring after tooth loss. Transcrestal sinus floor elevation (tSFE) represents a surgical option to vertically enhance the available bone in the posterior maxillary sext...

We report the case of a 60-year-old male with recurrent pre-syncope, referred with a provisional diagnosis of carotid sinus syndrome on the basis of a 4 s asystolic pause following carotid sinus massage. On repeat Holter monitoring there was ST-segment elevation followed by episodes of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia during a mild episode of pre-syncope. Coronary angiography showed mild rig...

The present study was conducted on dogs presented to Medicine OPD of Small Animal Clinics of the Department of Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana. In the present study ECG was done in 23 dogs suffering from haemolytic anaemia (12 dogs with Ehrlichia canis and 11 with Babesia spp.) Among the cardiac rhythms assessed by electro...

Background and aim:  Although there have been substantial developments in dental implant therapies, achieving good implant stability (ISQ >60) for implants inserted in augmented sinus sites appears to be challenging in comparison with non-augmented sites due to the high prevalence of bone resorption in posterior regions of maxilla. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the time required to a...

Cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics were investigated with a constant pressure infusion method in patients with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Ten patients were studied with serial examinations up to 15 years after the onset of the disease. A total of 70 CSF hydrodynamic examinations were performed. A clear increase in intracranial pressure due to raised pressure in the major dural sinus was...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to determine the incidence, location, and orientation of maxillary sinus septa in formalin embalmed cadavers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted on 210 cadaveric heads available in our department. After taking the mid-sagittal section the specimens were opened from the medial aspect and the sinus cavity was explored for the presence of maxillary ...

PURPOSE This article describes a technique and reports on the early healing for localized sinus augmentation using a crestal approach in combination with an autologous leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) concentrate. MATERIALS From November 2008 to January 2010, 138 implants were placed in 110 patients using osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation (OMSFE) with PRF. RESULTS The mean r...
