EXCESSIVE bleeding following minor trauma is the heritage of the haemophilic, consequently extraction of a tooth presents a formidable problem. During the recent survey of hamophilia carried out in Northern Ireland many of the patients had severe dental caries or septic roots resulting from simple neglect of elementary dental hygiene. The haemophilic is usually reluctant to have dental treatmen...

Results: A total of 30 eyes with pseudoexfoliation of 28 patients underwent planned combined procedure. Sixteen (53.33%) eyes achieved 6/18 or better vision postoperatively. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure was 25 mm Hg (range, 14 to 38 mm Hg), which decreased to a mean postoperative intraocular pressure of 15.1 mm Hg (range, 8 to 18 mm Hg). Intraoperative complications occurred in 4 ...

As part of a large retrospective study of the durability and lifespan of 2229 restorations in primary molars of 226 pediatric patients attending a dental school clinic, the histories of first-placement stainless steel crowns were examined. The histories of crowned primary molars in 131 patients were followed for up to 9 years, computerized, and their durability assessed in terms of crown replac...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate persistent primary second molars in a group of young people in their late twenties with agenesis of one or two second premolars. In 1982-83 it was decided, in connection with the orthodontic evaluation of 25 patients, to allow 35 primary molars (one or two in each patient) to remain in situ. All patients had mixed dentitions and agenesis of on...

Purpose To estimate the frequency of exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and its association with ocular diseases in Northern Nigeria. Materials and methods Consecutive patients who presented to the outpatient department of ECWA Eye Hospital Kano from February 2015 to May 2015 were included in the study. Each patient had a complete ophthalmic examination. The anterior segment examination included tono...

We investigate the surface blistering/exfoliation in H-implanted GaSb (100) substrates. Samples were implanted by 50 keV hydrogen ions with a fluence of 5 × 1016 and 1 1017 ions/cm2 at room temperature. Post-implantation annealing studies carried out up to 300 °C observe blistering. Interestingly, exfoliation over large area was observed for both fluences after post-implantation annealing. High...
