Implant insertion is an alternative to classical treatment with bridges after tooth extraction or traumatic tooth loss in the anterior and premolar region of the upper and lower jaw. Nevertheless both types of prosthetic treatment inhere major gingival aesthetic pitfalls by physiological vertical and horizontal resorption. Aim of the study was to investigate if the immediate insertion of root a...

SUARY Renovascular hypertension was produced in Wistar-King strain female rats by left renal artery clipping. The clipped kidney and the contralateral untouched kidney were cut into cortical, cortico-medullary and medullary portion. The cortical extract was divided into subcellular fractions by the step-wise centrifugation method. Enzyme activity of acid phosphatase, cytochrome C oxidase and gl...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of long-term denervation on volumetric bone mineral density, and geometrical and mechanical properties of the humerus in turkeys. The experiment was conducted from d 22 after hatching until wk 17 of life. All experimental birds (male turkeys) were randomly divided into 2 weight-matched groups. The first group of turkeys served as the control g...

Natural killer (NK) cells are important effectors of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Although human and mouse NK cells are extensively characterized, much less is known about the rat cells, partly because of the current lack of reliable isolation techniques. We aimed to develop a method for isolating highly pure 'untouched' rat NK cells by negative selection from splenocytes. Thereaf...

OBJECTIVE To assess OA-related changes in mean compartmental femorotibial cartilage thickness in rat knees by three-dimensional (3D) MRI (7T). METHODS MRI was performed in vivo at 7T on OA and untouched contralateral knee joints. Gradient Echo Fast Imaging 3D MR images were acquired sequentially in surgically induced OA (D0) in 40 Wistar rats (anterior cruciate ligament transection). Mean fem...

Governments and societies in 2020 2021 have been facing three interconnected crises—COVID-19 the health crisis, an economic crisis resulting from a social around inclusion equity. The magnitude of these crises, their nature, vary across countries, but no country has left untouched. governance responses to crises varied markedly, both terms character success. This paper discusses good, bad, mere...

The Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) has been shown to be safe and effective for patients (pts) at risk of sudden cardiac death. However, early generations this device had high inappropriate shock rates (IAS), particularly due T wave over sensing. Newer devices have improved sensing & discrimination capabilities including SMART Pass (SP). To determine the impact SP re...
