BACKGROUND Facial aging is a dynamic process involving the aging of soft tissue and bony structures. The shape, size, and volume of the bony orbit have all been shown to change with increasing age. OBJECTIVE In this study, we demonstrate how specific bony aspects of the orbit change with age in both male and female subjects and what impact this may have on the techniques used in facial cosmet...

Background: Pressure injuries are localized areas of damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue, usually over a bony prominence due pressure. Cerebrovascular disease increases risk pressure immobility caused by physical paralysis. The general approach managing patient with should include pain relief, treatment infection, optimizing nutritional intake, proper positioning, and contamination prev...

Tissue engineered constructs have the potential to respond unmet medical need of treating deep osteochondral defects. However, current tissue engineering strategies struggle in attempt create patterned with biologically distinct functionality. In this work, a developmentally-inspired modular approach is proposed, whereby cartilaginous organoids are used as living building blocks. First, hierarc...

bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (cbt) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. we tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

initial presentation of diastematomyelia is rarely seen in adults. the purpose of this case report is to present a case of clinically silent diastematomyelia unrecognized into adulthood and review of the literature. a 53-year-old persian man was admitted to our hospital with gait disturbance, weakness of the right lower extremity, sensory loss of the left and right lower extremity of two weeks’...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to compare clinical effects of two different membranes (palatal connective tissue and collagen) in combination with bio-oss in the treatment of intrabony defects. materials and methods. fifteen patients who had at least a pair of intrabony defects with an attachment loss of ≥5 mm and an initial osseous defect depth of ≥3 mm participated in this stu...
