Although the technique of autogenous acetabular bone grafting has been widely used to augment containment of the acetabulum in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for developmental dysplasia, the role of this technique in improving long-term results remains controversial. We present the long-term results of cemented THA with acetabular bone grafting in 112 patients (133 hips) in order to clarify the f...

Segmental long bone defects resulting from injury or surgical intervention are difficult problems to manage. Amputation, external fixators, vascularized fibular grafts, acute limb shortening, and various quantities of allograft and autograft have historically been the mainstays of treatment. Recently, the use of osteoinductive substances such as recombinant bone morphogenic proteins, and osteoc...

OBJECTIVE To investigate cognitive outcome after on and off pump coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS Seventy patients between 50 and 80 years with stable angina pectoris, ejection fraction >30%, serum creatinine <150 micromol/l, and lack of tight main stem stenosis were randomized to on or off pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Standardized neuropsychological tests evaluated attention...

OBJECTIVES To assess cognitive impairment after off-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting, with a particular emphasis on long-term follow-up and related risk factors. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Virgen de la Victoria University Hospital, Málaga, Spain. PARTICIPANTS Participants were 36 patients undergoing off-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting. MEASUREMENTS Changes in the neurops...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) differentiate into both neurons and glia, and strategies using human NSCs have the potential to restore function following spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the time period of maturation for human NSCs in adult injured CNS is not well defined, posing fundamental questions about the design and implementation of NSC-based therapies. This work assessed human H9 NSCs that ...

Current treatment of odontogenic tumors (OT) ranges from simple enucleation by curettage or segmental resection. But the does not stop here, we need to think about rehabilitation patients. The Mandibular reconstruction can begin immediately postoperatively, but delayed be best option for treatment, because high risk recurrence in some OT, it is always a challenge. aim this study describe approa...

This article presents a new method of reconstruction the atrophied distal alveolar process maxilla in patients with chronic polyposis sinusitis that we have developed and introduced into clinical practice. The provides for bone grafting using open sinus inlay technique simultaneous removal polyps from maxillary immediate or delayed placement dental implants. Previously, presence extranasal was ...

Ureteral-arterial fistula (UAF) is an exceedingly rare but life-threatening condition warranting emergent intervention. Prompt recognition and management of UAF in suspect patients presenting with gross hematuria are required for a successful outcome. We report a rare subset of UAF involving the bilateral common iliac arteries. The patient underwent successful endovascular stent-grafting to cor...
