PURPOSES To assess the tensile strength of the modified 4-strand cruciate technique for obliquely lacerated tendons, and to compare the findings with the strength of transversely lacerated tendons repaired at various grasping depths. METHODS 60 porcine front foot tendons were evenly divided into 4 groups. In groups 1 to 3, tendons were transversely lacerated and repaired with grasping points ...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the dimensional accuracy of two indexing materials, an acrylic resin (GC pattern resin) and a castable composite (Bredent). The effect of time lapse until investment was also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two standardized brass dies 15 mm apart were prepared and then 20 identical coping-bar assemblies were designed and fabricated by a rapid prototy...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although targeted by radiotherapy, recurrence in glioblastoma occurs mainly periresectional due to tumour infiltration. An increase in ADC is shown posttreatment in the large high T2 area, however, until now ADC has not been investigated for the more relevant directly periresectional area. METHODS: Histogram analysis was used to assess periresectional ADC values in gliob...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of varying concentrations of brilliant blue green (BBG) and their different biochemical characteristics on retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells under xenon light source illumination at varying distances to identify safe parameters for intraoperative use. METHODS Human retinal RPE cells (ARPE-19) were exposed to two concentrations (0.25 and 0.50 mg/mL) of BBG...

background: cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) is a new imaging technology that has been widely used in implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics. this method provides 3-d images that are composed of voxel, which is the smallest image unit, and determines image resolution. smaller voxel is associated with the higher resolution and also greater radiation exposure. this stud...

Abstract A sensitive and accurate high performance liquid chromatography method utilizing ultraviolet/visible light detection (HPLC-UV) for the quantification of Ribociclib in Spiked Human Plasma by HPLC-UV was developed validated. (RCB) internal standard (IS), Trifluridine, were first extracted from plasma samples a simple Protein Precipitation extraction using Acetonitrile. concentration RCB ...
