TRANSCRANIAL DOPPLER SONOGRAPHY IN TWO PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT DECOMPRESSIVE CRANIECTOMY FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN SWELLING: REPORT OF TWO CASES

Transcranial doppler sonography in two patients who underwent decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain swelling: report of two cases

The role of decompressive craniectomy in the treatment of severe posttraumatic cerebral swelling remains quite a controversial issue.To the best of our knowledge, there is no study demonstrating the effect of decompressive craniectomy on cerebral blood flow (CBF) velocity by means of transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD).We present two patients who

Finite element analysis of stress distribution on residual root structure in socket shield procedure following immediate dental implant placement: an in vitro study

Abstract Background The success of implants in the socket shield technique relies on stress experienced by root fragments within the socket.Although there is no consensus on optimal root fragment thickness, varying thicknesses and dynamic implant placement induce stress in various directions and degrees.This study aimed to assess biomechanical resp

Non-replication study of a genome-wide association study for hypertension and blood pressure in African Americans

Abstract Background A recent genome wide association study in 1017 African Americans identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms that reached genome-wide significance for systolic blood pressure.We attempted to replicate these findings in an independent sample of 2474 unrelated African Americans in the Milwaukee metropolitan Transport Chairs
