Introduction: Porcelain fracture is a relatively common problem in clinical dental practice.Various methods have been proposed for repairing porcelain fractures including direct composite resin repair or construction of a porcelain laminate veneer and its cementation with a resin cement.Evaluation of shear bond strength of porcelain repair methods
Characterization of voltage-gated Ca(2+) conductances in layer 5 neocortical pyramidal neurons from rats.
Neuronal voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels are involved in electrical signalling and in converting these signals into cytoplasmic calcium changes.One important function of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels is generating regenerative dendritic Ca(2+) spikes.However, the Ca(2+) dependent mechanisms used to create these spikes are only partially understood.To
Endoscopic transconjunctival optic nerve sheath fenestration for progressive idiopathic visual field deficit: a case report
Intra-orbital optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) is an effective option in patients with progressive vision loss due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension.Most proposed simply boho classroom techniques involve surgical trauma and require disinsertion of the medial rectus muscle; thus, less invasive surgical procedures are needed.Here, a feasi
Transition from parental prostacyclin to selexipag: a case series of five pulmonary arterial hypertension patients
Parental prostacyclin is the only therapy with a proven survival benefit in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).However, some patients are unable to tolerate continuous prostacyclin infusion because of central line infection, side effects, or sociocultural factors.Selexipag is a recently approved prostacyclin receptor agonist that is able to blun
