The main objective of this paper is to extend a domain variables of non-connective Ktheory to a wide class of exact categories with weak equivalences which do not satisfy the factorization axiom in general and develop fundamental properties of non-connective Ktheory. The main application is to study the topological filtrations of non-connective K-theory of a noetherian commutative ring with uni...

The authors, basing on three cases published by different authors in the years 1995-2003, discuss the problem of diagnosis and treatment of local gingival argyrosis and amalgam tattoo. Treatment methods carried out consisted of the following procedures free gingival graft, subepithelial connective tissue graft in a two-step procedure and subepithelial connective tissue graft without flap covera...

Subepithelial connective tissue grafting can be used for root coverage,1 to increase the amount of keratinized tissue2 and to decrease root sensitivity.3 The maxillary tuberosity is reported to have thicker soft tissue than the hard palate and may therefore be a suitable donor source for connective tissue graft.4 In the case described here, subepithelial connective tissue harvested from the tub...

BACKGROUND Silicone breast implants have been linked to a variety of illnesses, the most controversial of which are connective-tissue diseases and symptoms. To study this relation, we analyzed data from 14 years of follow-up of the Nurses' Health Study cohort. METHODS Women who were free from connective-tissue disease in June 1976 were followed through May 31, 1990, before there was widesprea...

We introduce a new formal logic, called equality propositional logic. It has two basic connectives, $boldsymbol{wedge}$ (conjunction) and $equiv$ (equivalence). Moreover, the $Rightarrow$ (implication) connective can be derived as $ARightarrow B:=(Aboldsymbol{wedge}B)equiv A$. We formulate the equality propositional logic and demonstrate that the resulting logic has reasonable properties such a...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relation between connective tissue disease and related conditions and breast implants. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of all women in the Swedish national inpatient registry who underwent breast augmentation surgery with artificial implants during 1964-93, compared with women who underwent breast reduction surgery during the same period. SETTING Sweden. SUBJECT...

background: odontogenic keratocyst (okc), also called keratocystic odontogenic tumor (kcot), is a developmental lesion which should be carefully monitored and it exhibits development mechanisms and biologic behaviors different from those of other more common lesions such as dentigerous and radicular cysts. cd10 antigen is a cell surface metalloendopeptidase, which inactivates various peptides t...
