This study was designed to determine whether the mechanical cyclic stressing that occurs during normal mastication contributes to margin breakdown of dental amalgam restorations. The method used appears to duplicate the mechanical stresses developed in vivo during mastication, as the result of tooth
BACKGROUND
Silicone breast implantation has been considered quite safe and of major cosmetic value. Immunologic sequelae such as collagen vascular diseases have not been confirmed in large studies.
OBJECTIVE
We describe a 55-year-old woman who developed severe fatigue, peripheral blood eosinophilia,
Tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal injury whose treatment is limited by ineffective therapeutic interventions. Previously we have shown that tendons ineffectively repair early sub-rupture fatigue damage. In contrast, physiological exercise has been shown to promote remodeling of healthy
The modern cystoscope is the result of the advancement in technology in numerous areas and is an invaluable tool that allows the urologist to perform a number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Although various degrees of endoscope failure have been widely reported, instrument breakage that
Pathologic processes intrinsic and extrinsic to the tendons have been proposed as the underlying cause of rotator cuff disease, but the precise etiology is not known. Tear formation is, in part, attributable to the accumulation of subrupture tendon fatigue damage. We review the molecular,
Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) is a unique variant of hepatocellular carcinoma. The majority of cases present with nonspecific symptoms like vague abdominal pain, weight loss and fatigue. Ruptured FL-HCC occurs rarely and mortality in the acute phase is very high. We report a rare
We present a case of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage secondary to anticoagulant therapy. A 41-year-old woman who underwent aortic valve replacement due to infective endocarditis 2 months ago was admitted for evaluation of dizziness and fatigue. Physical examination revealed the abdomen to be
BACKGROUND
Chromosome instability is thought to be a major contributor to cancer malignancy and birth defects. For balanced chromosome segregation in mitosis, kinetochores on sister chromatids bind and pull on microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles. This tension contributes to the
Primary splenic angiosarcoma (PSA) is a rare neoplasm of vascular origin associated with aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. The clinical presentation is usually non-specific and is mostly characterized by a wasting disease with anemia and splenomegaly, mimicking a wide range of entities. The
A 75-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a history of fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, and fatigue. Computed tomography(CT)revealed systemic lymphadenopathy with prominent splenomegaly. Axillary lymph node biopsy results revealed diffuse proliferation of atypical lymphoid cells with
A 31-year-old Hispanic male with no medical history was admitted for fevers, pleurisy, and cough after recent oral surgery and completing demolition and construction work in Juarez, Mexico. Imaging showed a 4.4 cm cavitary lesion and bilateral tree-in-bud opacities. Initial suspicion of bacterial
Rupture of the spleen can be classified as spontaneous, traumatic, or pathologic. Pathologic rupture has been reported in infectious diseases such as infectious mononucleosis, and hematologic malignancies such as acute and chronic leukemias. Splenomegaly is considered the most relevant factor that
In this paper, the synergistic effects of stress rupture and cyclic loading on the strain response of fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) at elevated temperature in air have been investigated. The stress-strain relationships considering interface wear and interface oxidation in the
In this study, the cracking susceptibility and fatigue behavior of Nd:YAG laser-welded cast Ti joints (welding pulse energy: 11, 15, and 18 J) in fluoride-containing (0 and 0.5% NaF) artificial saliva were evaluated using constant elongation rate test (CERT) and fatigue test (FT), respectively. Both
The results of an autopsy of an 80-year-old Japanese male with acute myeloid leukemia who died of spontaneous rupture of the spleen are reported. The patient was admitted because of anorexia, fatigue, weight loss, and multiple skin eruptions. Hematological examinations indicated a rapid increase in
