Rifampin-impregnated silicone catheters: a potential tool for prevention and treatment of CSF shunt infections.
2003
Background: Infection continues to be one of the major complications of cerebro-spinal fluid shunting procedures. Recent insights in the pathophysiological mechanism of these foreign body infections have elucidated the difficulty of achieving successful treatment without device removal. The development of a rifampin-impregnated silicone catheter yielded excellent results in infection prevention and treatment in vitro as well as in an animal model. Patients and Methods: Here, we describe the application of this device in two patients with a complicated course of shunt infection. Results: In one patient the rifampin-impregnated shunt system was implanted after external drainage to prevent fur…
Prices and Pareto optima
2006
We provide necessary conditions for Pareto optimum in economies where tastes or technologies may be nonconvex, nonsmooth, and affected by externalities. Firms can pursue own objectives, much like the consumers. Infinite-dimensional commodity spaces are accommodated. Public goods and material balances are accounted for as special instances of linear restrictions.
Towards micrometer sized core-shell actuators from liquid crystalline elastomers by a continuous flow synthesis
2012
We present here the successful preparation of liquid crystalline core-shell elastomers via a microfluidic double-emulsion process. The customized set-up allows for a temperature-controlled fabrication of the core-shell particles from a thermoresponsive mesogenic monomer. The nematic liquid crystalline shell is filled with a non-mesogenic core of silicone oil. To verify the core-shell structure with optical microscopy, we prepared particles with a colored core using a red dye. We were also able to micro-manipulate the particles and penetrate them with a small glass capillary to extract the liquid core.
Effect of different mixing and placement methods on the quality of MTA apical plug in simulated apexification model
2017
Background It is necessary apical plug material to exhibit proper adaptation with the root canal walls. Presence of voids at the interface between the root canal wall and this material result in micro leakage, which might have a relationship with post treatment disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different mixing (manual and ultrasonic) and placement (manual and manual in association with indirect ultrasonic) method of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) on the void count and dimension in the apical plug in natural teeth with simulated open apices. Material and methods Eighty human maxillary central incisors were selected. After simulation of the open apex model…
Hederagenin glycosides from the fruits of Blighia unijugata
2019
Abstract A phytochemical investigation of Blighia unijugata led to the isolation of eleven hederagenin glycosides. Among these compounds, six are previously undescribed, two are described in their native forms for the first time and three are known whereas firstly isolated from Blighia unijugata. The structure of the undescribed compounds was elucidated on the basis of 2D NMR and mass spectrometry analyses as 3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-L-arabinopyranosylhederagenin, 3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-3-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-L-arabinopyr…
Dynamic Effects on Reaction Rates in a Michael Addition Catalyzed by Chalcone Isomerase. Beyond the Frozen Environment Approach
2008
We present a detailed microscopic study of the dynamics of the Michael addition reaction leading from 6'-deoxychalcone to the corresponding flavanone. The reaction dynamics are analyzed for both the uncatalyzed reaction in aqueous solution and the reaction catalyzed by Chalcone Isomerase. By means of rare event simulations of trajectories started at the transition state, we have computed the transmission coefficients, obtaining 0.76 +/- 0.04 and 0.87 +/- 0.03, in water and in the enzyme, respectively. According to these simulations, the Michael addition can be seen as a formation of a new intramolecular carbon-oxygen bond accompanied by a charge transfer essentially taking place from the nu…
Wilson maxillary curve analyzed by cbct a study on normocclusion and malocclusion individuals
2013
The anatomy of dental compensation curve in the frontal plane described by George H. Wilson is one of the occlusal determinants of orthodontic treatment. However, there is few published comparing malocclusion and normocclusion individuals. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the curve of Wilson at first and second maxillary molars, normocclusion pattern and malocclusion pattern, with and without bilateral posterior crossbite, using angular references in CBCT studies. Material and Methods: We analyzed 10 cases of malocclusion with bilateral posterior crossbite, 10 cases of malocclusion without bilateral posterior crossbite and 10 cases with non orthodontic normocclusion (patients…
Diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam CT compared with panoramic images in predicting retromolar canal during extraction of impacted mandibular third mola…
2014
Objectives: The clinical significance of the existence of a retromolar canal and of its neurovascular content is not yet clear.The aim of the present study was to assess the visibility, diameter and course of the mandibular retromolarcanal (MRC) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan -had been taken for pre-operative radiographic evaluation of impacted mandibular third molars- compared to panoramic radiographs. Study Design: Subjects eligible for study enrollment were those who underwent preoperative CBCT scan for the extraction of impactedmandibular third molars were determined to be extremely close to the mandibular canal on panoramic radiographs. Radiographs were screened for th…
Age and gender variations in the cone-beam computed tomographic location of mandibular canal: Implications for mandibular sagittal split osteotomy
2019
Background Mandibular sagittal split osteotomy (MSSO) may incur unfavorable split and sensorineural injuries. Knowledge of the anatomic location of the mandibular canal (MC) and bone thickness in the region of interest for MSSO, and the possible variations by age and gender can assist in avoiding such complications. Purpose: To study the location of the MC and bone thickness in the region of MSSO by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiographs and to evaluate the possible variations by age and gender in a Jordanian population. Material and Methods This retrospective radio-anatomical study examined all CBCT radiographs for patients treated over three years at the University of Jordan Hos…
