This paper deals with a new electrotherapeutic method for use in physiatric treatment. The micro-pulse stimulation is based on the combination of three electrotherapeutic methods: burst therapy, high-voltage pulsed current therapy, and microelectrostimulation. Micro-pulse stimulation is special for its unusual configuration of pulse parameters; high-voltage electric pulses are safely used as a ...

background. orthodontic mini-implants provide skeletal anchorage for tooth movement. there are two designs of mini-implants, tapered and cylindrical, which exhibit different clinical characteristics, including possible micro-damage to cor-tical bone. complications such as peri-implantitis and pain after mini-implant placement are common. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mini-...

The utility of vindesine and a frequent prednisone schedule was evaluated in 70 patients with refractory myeloma. No patient responded to vindesine alone, but about one-fourth achieved significant tumor reductions from intermittent high-dose prednisone, either alone or in combination with vindesine. Forty-seven percent responded when prednisone pulses were combined with vincristine and doxorubi...
