This work introduces “generalized meshes”, a type of meshes suited for the discretization partial differential equations in non-regular geometries. Generalized extend regular simplicial by allowing overlapping elements and more flexible adjacency relations. They can have several distinct “generalized” vertices (or edges, faces) that occupy same geometric position. These generalized facets are n...

The humeral head articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The anatomical neck separates the greater and lesser tuberosities from the humeral head. The long head of biceps runs between the tuberosities in the bicipital groove, and the surgical neck is just below the greater and lesser tuberosities. The radial nerve runs posteriorly around the middle third of the humeral shaft in the sp...

We report a clinical case of horizontal root fracture in the mandibular first premolar induced by a traffic accident. The fractured tooth spontaneously healed and diagnosed radiographically after 2 years. Fractured fragments were separated by a narrow radiolucent line and the edges were rounded, and healing of the tooth is likely to be related to interproximal connective tissue healing. Our cas...

vertical root fracture (vrf) has been a great challenge in dentistry; most fractures often result in tooth extraction. inflammation of tissues around the fractured root is the main reason for tooth extraction. based on the strategic importance of some fractured teeth, treatment may be necessary and often complicated. however, performing a proper repair or even splinting the fractured segments m...

BACKGROUND Insufficient cement distribution (ICD) in the fractured area has been advocated to be responsible for unsatisfied pain relief after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). However, little is known about risk factors for the occurrence of ICD. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to identify independent risk factors of the emergence o...

Post-mortem.?Body well nourished ; rigor-mortis pretty well marked ; right hand clenched. Chest.?All the ribs in the left side fractured ; some of tliem were fractured in two or three places. Of the fractures which occurred in the shaft, three pierced the pleura and wounded the lung. On the right side, the 2nd, 3rd, 4tli, 5th, and 6th ribs were fractured about two inches from the sternal end ; ...
