INTRODUCTION
Dental implants are usually considered an alternative treatment option to replace lost teeth in edentulous patients. The rate of implant placement in regions more difficult to rehabilitate has increased with the increase in the success of osseointegration and survival. However, besides
Periodontitis is a destructive chronic inflammatory disease that can start with localized inflammatory reactions created by the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth against microorganisms and then result in loss of teeth. Cytokines play an important role in inflammation that occurs in
Uveitic macular edema (UME) is one of the commonest and severest complications of chronic uveitis, and is also one of the important causes of permanent vision loss in uveitis. The pathophysiological mechanism of UME remains unclear, but was thought to be caused by damages of internal/external
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous autoimmune disease that primarily affects the skin and mucosal surfaces including the oral cavity with a variety of clinical manifestations including reticular, papular, hyperkeratotic, atrophic, erosive, and bullous
Burn injuries are complicated wounds to manage with a relative high mortality rate in especially large area burns and elderly patients.
Substantial tissue damage and extensive fluid loss can cause impaired vital functions of the skin. When healing is delayed, the potential short term common
Systemic mastocytosis (SM) represents a heterogenous group of disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of mast cells caused by activating mutations in c-Kit receptor; a tyrosine kinase family receptor present in mast cell that control cell proliferation. Prevalence of SM is estimated to 1/20
This is an open-label, single arm pilot study of defibrotide given as prophylaxis to patients receiving a conditioned stem cell transplant for the purpose of preventing post-transplant microangiopathy. The University of California San Francisco Blood and Marrow Transplant program reviewed all cases
The palatal area, which is mostly used for connective tissue graft (SCTG) and free gingival graft (FGG) harvesting, usually provides sufficient donor tissue for periodontal plastic surgery. Surgical techniques using these procedures have been reported to present higher predictability and long term
Clinical Background
Bone metastasis give rise to major complications that lead to significant morbidity and impairment of life quality. The most common primary for bone metastasis is prostate, lung and breast carcinoma. These three have the highest cancer incidence in the USA with up to 85%
Rapid estrogen level decline after menopause is associated with systemic bone loss in women leading to osteopenia/osteoporosis. Estrogen therapy (ET) improves bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Currently, ET has been associated with statistically significant increased risk of breast
All patients aged above 60 years undergoing planned neurosurgical operations in the duration up to 4 hours under general anesthesia will be included in the study. The patients will not be sedated by any type of benzodiazepine. A dose of 30 mg nimodipine or placebo will be applied 45 minutes before
Periodontal disease is a commonGram-negative chronic anaerobic infection of the periodontium, with an estimatedworld prevalence of 10% to 15% (Genco RJ, et al. 1992, Petersen PE & Ogawa H. 2005). It Involves both direct tissue damage resulting from plaque bacterial products, and indirect damage via
Glioma is the most frequent malignant primary brain tumor and remains a lethal disease with a dismal prognosis. Glioblastoma (GBM) accounts approximately 50% of all glioma and among these tumors, are the most malignant. GBM are characterized by a higher cellular density and by the ample existence of
The receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) system is considered important for bone homeostasis . RANKL exist in three isoforms and the effects of all isoforms are mediated through binding to a specific receptor (receptor activator of NF-KB (RANK)). RANKL is predominantly found as a transmembrane
