On Saline Irrigation Problems in Sicily Remarks to Professor Cavazza’s Report
1968
I should like to clarify that part of Professor Cavazza’s report which deals with the activities of the Agronomy Institute in the University of Palermo. This Institute, under my direction, has interested itself — among other subjects — in the utilization, for irrigation purposes, of the waters of the River Salso which crosses Sicily from North to South. The water from this river becomes saline because of the hydric contribution of affluents originating from zones which belong, from the geological point of view, to gypsum-sulphuric formations also rich in rock-salt deposits.
Osteogenic parameters surrounding trabecular tantalum metal implants in osteotomies prepared via osseodensification drilling
2019
Background Surgical fixation of implants into bone for the correction of bone deformities or defects is a traditional approach for skeletal stabilization. Important measures of efficacy of implants include implant stability and osseointegration—the direct interaction between living bone and an implant. Osseointegration depends on successful implant placement and subsequent bone remodeling. This study utilized osseodensification drilling (OD) in a low bone density model using trabecular metal (TM) implants. Material and Methods Three osteotomy sites, Regular, OD-CW (clockwise), and OD-CCW (counterclockwise), were prepared in each ilium of three female sheep. Drilling was performed at 1100rpm…
