Cet article a pour objectif de décrire l’interconnexion entre le Middleware MiCom pour la commande de contrôle de l’environnement d’une smart home à partir de l’application tactile InTacS spécialement conçue pour des seniors. Nous décrivons ensuite le protocole expérimental conduit. Puis nous montrons l’importance du journal MiCom pour l’étude des interactions. Ensuite, nous présentons des résu...

context a key determinant for clinical success is the diagnosis of the bone density in a potential implant site. the percentage of bone-implant contact is related to bone density, and the axial stress contours around an implant are affected by the density of bone. evidence acquisition a number of reports have emphasized the importance of the quality of bone on the survival of dental implants. t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of modified intracorneal ring segment implantation (INTACS) in the management of moderate and advanced keratoconus (KCN). METHODS A modified procedure of intracorneal ring segment (INTACS) implantation was performed in eyes with moderate to advanced keratoconus that were intolerant to contact lens or spectacle correction. The main outcome measures w...

Unusual Secondary Displacement of Intacs Segments—Superimposition of Distal Ends We report a case of unusual secondary displacement of intrastromal corneal ring segments (Intacs; Addition Technology, Des Plaines, Illinois) away from the incision to the extent that the inferior ends overlapped in the tunnel. A 57-year-old man presented with unilateral keratoconus in the left eye with recent cont...

PURPOSE To psychophysically measure spherical and irregular aberrations in patients with various types of myopia correction. SETTING Laboratory of Experimental Ophthalmology, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands. METHODS Three groups of patients with low myopia correction (spectacles, soft contact lens, and Intacs) and 4 groups with high myopia correction (spectacles, rigid c...

The objective of the present study was to compare single segment and double segment INTACS rings in the treatment of post-LASIK ectasia. In this interventional study, 26 eyes with post-LASIK ectasia were assessed. Ectasia was defined as progressive myopia regardless of astigmatism, along with topographic evidence of inferior steepening of the cornea after LASIK. We excluded those with a history...

the effect of inter-implant distance on retention and resistance of implant-tissue-supported overdentures is lacking in the literature. an in vitro study was performed to evaluate this effect for mandibular implant-tissue-supported overdentures retained by two ball attachments.an acrylic cast of an edentulous mandible was fabricated. three pairs of implants were symmetrically placed at both sid...

results the mean distances between the crestal bone and the implant shoulder in group 1 were 1.01, 1.44, and 1.93 mm at the implant placement time, and at the 6 and 12-month postoperative intervals, respectively. in group 2, these distances were 1.35, 1.20, and 1.41 mm, respectively. there were no significant differences in the marginal bone resorption between the two groups (p > 0.05). conclus...
