Background: One of the key objectives is to update knowledge in order to develop treatment and care recommendations based on research findings. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to compare the survival rate of narrow dental implants (NDI) with standard dental implants (SDI).    Methods: The international databases targeted for conducting a broad search included PubMed (Medline), Sco...

Nuclear diameter was measured and mean nuclear diameter calculated in 18 parathyroid carcinomas. In 11 of the 18 tumours mean nuclear diameter was above the range previously reported for 55 parathyroid chief cell adenomas and provides a useful discriminant in histological diagnosis.

Nuclear diameter was measured in 55 parathyroid chief-cell adenomas to determine its value in histological diagnosis and to assess its relationship to other features of primary hyperparathyroidism. Mean nuclear diameter for the whole group of adenomas was significantly greater than that for the accompanying normal glands. Mean nuclear diameter in individual adenomas was significantly greater th...

Let me recall what we proved about the Galton-Watson process, and one thing that I forgot to mention. In particular, I will be concerned with the case in which a cell splits into k children, each of which survives to split themselves with probability p = c/k. Theorem 5.2.1. Let Z be one plus the number of descendants of the first organism that survive to reproduce (not counting the first organi...

Osteon diameter is generally smaller in bone regions that experience larger strains. A mechanism relating osteon diameter to strain is as yet unknown. We propose that strain-induced osteocyte signals inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. This mechanism was previously shown to produce load-aligned osteons in computer simulations. Now we find that it also predicts smaller osteon diameter for high...

8 We present an algorithm that computes a (1 + ε)-approximation of the diameter of a weighted, 9 undirected planar graph of n vertices with non-negative edge lengths inO ( n logn ( logn+ (1/ε)5 )) 10 expected time, improving upon the O ( n ( (1/ε)4 log4 n+ 2O(1/ε) )) -time algorithm of Weimann 11 and Yuster [ICALP 2013]. Our algorithm makes two improvements over that result: first and 12 foremo...

Pupil diameter is enhanced in a variety of emotional contexts, including viewing pictures, listening to sounds, and during threat of shock. In this study, we investigated pupil diameter changes during emotional imagery. Participants imagined scenes describing pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral events while pupil diameter was continuously recorded. Second by second changes in pupil diameter were a...

We study the problem of finding nonconstant monic integer polynomials, normalized by their degree, with small supremum on an interval I. The monic integer transfinite diameter tM(I) is defined as the infimum of all such supremums. We show that if I has length 1, then tM(I) = 1 2 . We make three general conjectures relating to the value of tM(I) for intervals I of length less than 4. We also con...
