Radiographic success or failure was determined for 202 primary tooth pulpotomies performed with either formocresol, ferric sulfate, or a combination procedure of formocresol and ferric sulfate.

The post-operative period for the pulpotomies ranged from one month to thirty-six plus months.

There was no statistical difference in radiographic failure rates between formocresol, ferric sulfate, or the combination procedure when results were analyzed regardless of post-op period.

However, when post-op periods were considered, formocresol performed better at > 36 months and the combination procedure showed significantly more failures at > 36 months.

[Title] Sweeping the membranes: a valid procedure in stimulating the onset of labour?

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether sweeping the membranes in pregnancies of longer than 40 weeks gestation results in an accelerated onset of labour and a reduction in the incidence of induction of labour.

The incidence of induction of labour for post-maturity.

RESULTS: Sweeping the membranes significantly reduces the subsequent duration of pregnancy, from an average of five days to two days following the procedure.

No harmful side effects to the procedure were noted.

CONCLUSIONS: Sweeping the membranes is a safe and useful procedure which results in a reduced incidence of post-mature pregnancies, and a subsequent reduction in the labour induction rate.

[Title] A staining procedure for melanin in semithin and ultrathin epoxy sections.

A modified Warthin-Starry (WS) procedure for melanin has therefore been adapted for direct application to epoxy sections.

Primary osmium tetroxide (OsO4) fixation probably induces false positive staining of lipofuscin and should not be used prior to the WS procedure, but it does not influence the results of the procedure when employed as a post-fixative.

The WS procedure yields additional diagnostic information, especially in suboptimally preserved material, as expressed by an increase in the number of convincingly identifiable melanosomes in one completely and four partly amelanotic melanomas.

[Title] A regionally contracted multireference configuration interaction method: general theory and results of an incremental version.

Then a series of limited post-CAS-CI calculations is performed, using the same reference space, one for each block, and then one per pair of blocks.

Provided that size-consistency corrections are taken into account the results of the procedure are shown to be in excellent agreement with those of the nonpartitioned post-CAS-CI.

The computational benefits of this evidently parallelizable procedure are underlined.

The preparation of the granule fraction by subcellular fractionation procedure results in the preparation of a second fraction referred to as the post-granule supernatant fraction.

The post-granule supernatant fraction contains a latent form of the granule-derived neutral protease and an excess of cytoplasmic inhibitor for this enzyme.

The post-granule supernatant fraction exhibited complex kinetic data when the interactions between the inhibitor, the latent enzymes and trypsin were examined simultaneously by incremental analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Patients with prominent median lobe hyperplasia and/or high International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) are often contraindicated for prostate brachytherapy, mainly because of the risk of post-implant urinary retention.

RESULTS: The procedure appeared to be technically feasible, with only 0.3% of migrating seeds, a mean post-implant D90 of 173.4 Gy and a mean post-implant V100 of 96.6%.

However, 5 patients (23%) experienced a urinary retention, with two patients having to undergo a complementary post-implant TURP.

CONCLUSION: Although technically feasible, with relatively few migrating seeds and satisfactory post-implant dosimetric parameters, one-step TURP and brachytherapy was found to be poorly tolerated, with higher than usual urinary retention and urinary toxicity rates.

Considering those results, our group is presently evaluating a two-step procedure, with a customized TURP followed after 4-6 months by brachytherapy.

The results obtained through these procedures depend on the level of perceptibility of post mortal changes and they are compared with premortal data obtained from family members of those missing or killed.

Experience with exhumations has shown significant differences between the results obtained through exhumation and the premortal data.

The aim of the study was to suggest the existance of the difference between premortal data and the results obtained by exhumation regarding the some parameters, as well as to direct premortal data colection to the specific skeletal forms.

METHODS: We performed comparative analysis of the results of exhumation of skeletal remains in a mass grave and the premortal data concerning the identified persons.

The hight was calculated as average results of length of long bones and Rollet coefficients.

RESULTS: There was a complete match in terms of sex and age matched within an interval that could be established based on the skeletal remains.

This procedure accomplishes hemorrhoidal symptom relief with far less post-operative pain and other complications as compared to various other types of hemorrhoidectomies.

The post-operative outcome and procedure related complications are compared with conventional hemorrhoidectomy procedures.

RESULTS: With this procedure, the post-defecation pain score reported was between 1 and 4 (VAS) in the first week, which subsided thereafter.

There were 42% patients who had post-defecation bleeding in the first 10 days.

There were 82% patients able to resume duties on the 6th post-operative day.

Of these, 5% of the patients had post-operative urinary retention needing catheterization for a single time, and 18 patients required readmission for secondary bleeding.

CONCLUSION: The combined procedure described above could be a feasible alternative for surgical treatment of hemorrhoids being quick and easy to perform.

With this procedure, the hospital stay is short, post-operative pain is less, return to work is faster, and recurrence rate is low.

All patients had echocardiography performed prior to the procedure, 3-7 days post-PTSMA.

RESULTS: Procedure success was achieved in 41 patients, success rate was 78.8%.

The average left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient was (92.64 +/- 38.69) mm Hg before the procedure, and (51.79 +/- 38.99) mm Hg after the procedure (P < 0.001).

The thickness of interventricular septum (IVS) was (22.96 +/- 5.15) mm before the procedure and became (21.27 +/- 4.64) mm 3-7 days post-PTSMA (P < 0.05).

The incidence of right bundle branch block development post-PTSMA was 15.38% (> 48 h), and one patient (1.92%) had complete heart block.

CONCLUSION: PTSMA is an effective non-surgical procedure for symptomatic patients with HOCM because of its low risk and its significant hemodynamic and echocardiographic improvement.

[Title] [Risk factors for early arrhythmias post transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects].

Relationships between arrhythmias and those risk factors such as the defect characteristics and the device size and types were explored by logistic regression analysis.

RESULTS: Procedure was successful in all patients.

The early arrhythmias after transcatheter closure of PVSD were significantly correlated with device size [> or = (8.6 +/- 2.7) mm] and type (nonsymmetrical device), the span between the defect and tricuspid (< or = 3 mm), and the presence of aneurysm.

CONCLUSION: Larger device size, nonsymmetrical device, narrow span between the defect and tricuspid and the presence of aneurysm are the risk factors for early arrhythmias after transcatheter closure of PVSD.

[Title] [Outcome of transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with modified double-disk occluder device].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) with modified double-disk occluder device (MDVO).

METHODS: Clinical data including clinical examination, electrocardiography daily after the procedure for a week, chest-X-rays and TTE before discharge and at 3-5 days after the procedure were analyzed from 604 patients underwent percutaneous closure of a pmVSD with MDVO at our department between December 2001 and December 2008.

RESULTS: Procedure was successful in 576 out of 604 patients (95.4%) and 583 VSD occluders were placed.

Endocarditis, thromboembolism, or deaths were not observed after procedure.

Conduction block occurred in 81 patients (56 RBBB, 14 LBBB) and transient nonparoxysmal ventricular tachycardia in 31 patients after the procedure.

Complete heart block occurred in 11 patients, 9 of them recovered in 3 weeks, permanent pacemaker was implanted in 2 patients (one had transient III degrees AVB before the procedure, the other underwent simultaneous closure of ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect).

The residual shunts disappeared in 31 patients and remained unchanged in 38 patients (6.6%) 7 days after procedures.

Five patients developed haemolysis (device retrieved via catheter in 1 patient due to persistent haemolysis, the other 4 patients recovered 3-14 days post procedure).

Device was successfully replaced in 2 patients with either device embolization (n = 1) or device misplacement (n = 1) after device retrieval by catheter.

CONCLUSION: It is safe and effective to close congenital perimembranous ventricular septal defect with domestic-made occluder device.

RESULTS: Procedure time and time from anesthesia until start of sugery were significantly shorter in the spinal group than those in the PSNB group (P < 0.01).

Anesthesia-related complications such as hypotension, bradycardia, shivering, nausea/vomitting, post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) and urinary retension were observed in 15%, 10%, 5%, 5%, 10%, and 20% of patients in the spinal group, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the long duration of the procedure, PSNB is relatively safe, provides an adequate level of anesthesia, effectively controls postoperative pain and reduces side effects.

[Title] Interstage mortality after the Norwood procedure: Results of the multicenter Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial.

The Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial randomized subjects with a single morphologic right ventricle undergoing a Norwood procedure to a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) or a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt (RVPAS).

METHODS: Participants in the Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial who survived to discharge after the Norwood procedure were included (n = 426).

Interstage mortality was defined as death postdischarge after the Norwood procedure and before the stage II procedure.

RESULTS: Overall interstage mortality was 50 of 426 (12%)-13 of 225 (6%) for RVPAS and 37 of 201 (18%) for MBTS (odds ratio [OR] for MBTS, 3.4; P < .001).

Interstage mortality was independently associated with gestational age less than 37 weeks (OR, 3.9; P = .008), Hispanic ethnicity (OR, 2.6; P = .04), aortic atresia/mitral atresia (OR, 2.3; P = .03), greater number of post-Norwood complications (OR, 1.2; P = .006), census block poverty level (P = .003), and MBTS in subjects with no or mild postoperative AVVR (OR, 9.7; P < .001).

[Title] Adhesive restoration of endodontically treated premolars: influence of posts on cuspal deflection.

PURPOSE: To determine, by means of a non-destructive experimental procedure, the effectiveness of adhesive restorations in reducing the cuspal deflection of endodontically treated premolars, with or without root canal fiber posts.

A loading device induced deformation by axial force (ranging from 98 to 294 N) applied on the occlusal surface of teeth while laser sensors registered the amount of deflection.

The teeth were randomly divided into two groups and restored with: group 1) dual curing adhesive, flowable composite, and microhybrid composite; group 2) the same materials associated with root canal glass fiber post and composite cement.

The cuspal deflection test was repeated with the same protocol after restorative procedures, allowing a direct comparison of the same samples.

RESULTS: Different average cuspal deflection was detected in the two groups: composite resin with post insertion resulted in lower deformation compared with composite alone.

CONCLUSION: Bonded composite restorations with fiber posts may be more effective than composite alone in reducing the cuspal deflection in endodontically treated premolars in which the marginal ridges have been lost.

[Title] The interference of the cleaning procedure of root walls with two different solvents on the adhesion of fiberglass intraradicular posts.

AIM: This study was undertaken to examine the effect of root canal (RT) sealers content and the cleaning procedure of RT walls on bond strength (BS) of a fiber reinforced composite (FRC) post cemented with resin-based or zinc phosphate cement.

In each of these subgroups, half of intracanal posts (n = 5) were cemented with Bistite resin-based cement and half with zinc phosphate cement.

Specimens were submitted to pull-out test and tensile force until post dislodgement.

The maximum forces required for post removal was expressed in MPa, means were submitted to statistical analysis (Analysis of Variance Test, a = 0.05).

RESULTS: Fiber reinforced composite cemented with zinc phosphate were significantly more retentive than those cemented with Bistite (p < 0.05).

Regarding the influence of eugenol-based sealer on post retention, there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) only between groups cemented with Bistite, in which canals filled with N-Rickert + gutta-percha showed lower BS than canals filled with Sealer 26 + gutta-percha.

CONCLUSION: Despite endodontic cement used, higher pull-out bond strength were obtained when posts were cemented with zinc phosphate.

Clinical significance: The importance of ethanol or sulphuric ether application to properly replace water from intraradicular dentine still requires further investigations, especially to clarify if this technique may reduce the effect of aging and improve the stability of the bond, when used to cement fiber posts into the root canal.

[Title] An improved RNA amplification procedure results in increased yield of autologous RNA transfected dendritic cell-based vaccine.

The original procedure described for RNA amplification resulted in a proportion of RNA transcribed in the antisense orientation.

We provide further evidence that amplified RNA containing antisense and double-stranded RNA species results in lower recovery of DCs post-transfection and maturation, presumably through sequence-specific gene silencing.

The removal of the double-stranded species from amplified RNA results in higher recovery of mature autologous amplified RNA transfected dendritic cells.

[Title] Scanning electron microscopic investigation of the surface of fiber posts after cutting.

This study evaluated the surface of different types of fiber posts after cutting and investigated whether different cutting procedures can affect the integrity of the posts.

Six types of fiber posts were selected for this study (Carbon Fiber Posts, Quartz Fiber Posts, Aesthetic Posts, Aesthetic Plus Posts, Translucent Posts, Dentatus, FRC Postec Posts).

Fifteen posts of each type were studied.

All posts had a diameter of 1.2 to 1.4 mm and were between 14 and 16 mm long.

Posts displayed regular surfaces after cutting with a diamond bur.

The surfaces cut with scissors showed two plane and convergent flanges, and because of the formation of fracture lines these posts lost their integrity not only at the cutting surface but also along their length.

The results of this study indicated that fiber posts can be cut using a diamond bur mounted in a handpiece under copious water coolant.

Although the carborundum disk cutting procedure showed a less regular post surface, it can be speculated that it might be clinically acceptable.

The cutting procedure using scissors should be avoided.

[Title] [Restoration of root canal treated teeth using carbon fiber posts].

The restoration of root canal treated teeth--because of the significant loss of tooth structure--is often achieved with post and core.

However, post may generate stresses which lead to vertical root fracture and loss of the tooth.

Since post design, material used and the post space preparation has significant influence on vertical fracture prevalence, broad investigation is in progress to find out the optimum procedure.

During the last decade new prefabricated passive posts were introduced for postendodontic restorations.

In order to collect information clinical trials have been performed on the reconstruction of root canal treated teeth using carbon fibe posts (COMPOSIPOST, RTD, France; C-POST, Bisco, USA).

Adhesive technique was applied to cement posts in the root canal and for composite core reconstruction.

The physical properties of carbon fiber posts and the composite core are very close to those of dentin.

Post application is simple, does not require special skill and for the patients means minimum hazard.

The position of the posts was controlled by radiography.

Hence, we attribute our good results to the homogeneous reconstruction of the teeth.

This procedure seems to be a good alternative to traditional cast metal dowel/cores or metal prefabricated posts.

[Title] Benefits of a two-step cementation procedure for prefabricated fiber posts.

PURPOSE: To determine whether two-step cementation of prefabricated fiber posts leads to higher bond strengths.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-eight human canine teeth were divided into six groups and fiber posts were cemented with DC Core, RelyX Unicem and Panavia F2.0, according to a one-step or two-step procedure.

The differences in push-out strength between procedure, cement and location within the root were determined.

RESULTS: For all cements, the push-out strengths for the two-step procedure were significantly higher than for the one-step procedure (p < 0.001).

Differences between the cements for both the one-step and two-step procedure were not statistically significant (p = 0.05).

CONCLUSION: The reduction of the C-factor by means of a two-step cementation, a procedure equivalent to the layering technique of composite restorations, resulted in significantly higher bond strengths.

The increase of 60% in bond strength may be beneficial to the retention of post and core restorations.

[Title] Effect of cleaning method, luting agent and preparation procedure on the retention of fibre posts.

AIM: To investigate the effects of various cleaning methods, luting agents and preparation procedures on fibre post retention.

Post space preparation was performed in 78 roots using the dedicated preparation drills of the DT Light Post SL system [group post drill (PD)].

Within each of these two groups, 26 root canals were rinsed with 1% NaOCl (control), 26 were cleaned using rotating brushes and pumice powder, and 26 were sandblasted with Al(2) O (3) (50 μm) using an intraoral device.

Fibre posts were inserted using self-adhesive resin cement (SmartCem2) or core build-up material (CoreX Flow/XP Bond).

Statistical analyses were performed using three-way anova and Tukey's HSD post hoc tests.

RESULTS: Root canal cleanliness was not affected by the cleaning method (P = 0.618, chi-squared test).

Pull-out force for fibre posts was significantly affected by the cleaning method (P = 0.008), the luting agent (P < 0.0005) and the preparation procedure (P < 0.0005, three-way anova).

Posts that were inserted using CoreX Flow/XP Bond exhibited significantly higher pull-out forces [370 (62) N] compared with posts inserted using SmartCem2 [315 (141) N].

CONCLUSION: The different cleaning methods did not lead to significant differences in root canal cleanliness and did not enhance fibre post retention inside the root canal.

However, post space preparation using a RB might be beneficial for improving retention, especially when self-adhesive cements are used.

[Title] Effect of cement type, relining procedure, and length of cementation on pull-out bond strength of fiber posts.

INTRODUCTION: As opposed to the cementation metal posts, the cementation of fiber posts has several details that can significantly influence the success of post retention.

This study evaluated the effect of the relining procedure, the cement type, and the luted length of the post on fiber posts retention.

METHODS: One hundred eighty bovine incisors were selected to assess post retention; after endodontic treatment, the canals were flared with diamonds burs.

Post holes were prepared in lengths of 5, 7.5, and 10 mm; the fiber posts were relined with composite resin and luted with RelyX ARC, RelyX Unicem, or RelyX Luting 2.

Samples were subjected to a pull-out bond strength test in a universal testing machine; the results (N) were submitted to a three-way analysis of variance and the Tukey post hoc test (alpha = 0.05).

RESULTS: The improvement of post retention occurred with the increase of the post length luted into the root canal; the relining procedure improved the pull-out bond strength.

CONCLUSION: Post length, the relining procedure, and the cement type are all important factors for improving the retention of fiber posts.

[Title] Reduced contraction stress formation obtained by a two-step cementation procedure for fiber posts.

OBJECTIVES: In a previous study, a 60% increase in push-out strength was obtained in vitro with a two-step cementation of fiber posts, a procedure equivalent to the layering technique of composite restorations.

METHODS: FEA models were created of the push-out test set-up of fiber posts cemented according to a one-step and two-step procedure and of the complete root with post.

The failure loads of glass-fiber posts cemented with RelyX Unicem as obtained in a previous study were used as the load in the push-out FEA models.

The stresses due to the shrinkage of the cement layer and the applied load were determined for the one-step and two-step procedure of the push-out test specimens and for the one-step procedure of the complete root.

RESULTS: Even though the load in the two-step push-out model was 60% higher compared to the one-step model, the combined stresses were comparable.

SIGNIFICANCE: FEA of this test set-up explains the results of the in vitro study.

Two-step cementation of fiber posts leads to a decrease in internal stresses in the restoration which results in higher failure loads and possibly in less microleakage.

[Title] [Prevention of post-operative pain and haemorrhage in PPH (Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids) and STARR (Stapled Trans-Anal Rectal Resection). Preliminary results in 261 cases].

[Transliterated title] La prevenzione del dolore e dell'emorragia post-operatoria nella PPH (Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids) e nella STARR (Stapled Trans-Anal Rectal Resection). Risultati su una serie di 261 pazienti.

Intra- and early (first week) post-operative haemorrhages are the most common complications in stapled hemorrhoidectomy PPH (Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids) and in circumferential resection of the rectal prolapse STARR (Stapled Trans Anal Rectal Resection).

Performing PPH and STARR we employed a gelatin based haemostatic sealant with thrombin component (FloSeal) to control intra-operative bleeding and to reduce post-operative bleeding avoiding haemostatic stitches on suture line.

We report the preliminary results on 197 PPH and 64 STARR; 44 PPH (22.4%) and 27 STARR (42.2%) were treated by FloSeal.

No major post-operative bleeding was observed in all patients treated by FloSeal, compared to 1.3% and 2.7% of hemorrhage respectively in PPH and STARR patients treated without sealant.

Post-operative pain was less severe in patients treated by FloSeal, without a difference statistically significant.

[Title] Influence of ceramic and cement thickness on the masking of various types of opaque posts.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Dark-colored posts may negatively affect the esthetics of all-ceramic single unit crowns as the thin layers of luting cement may not be sufficiently opaque.

PURPOSE: This in vitro study evaluated the influence of the color of 2 commercially available nonmetallic opaque posts (carbon fiber and zirconia) and an experimental esthetic post, and the shade and thickness of luting cements on the esthetics of all-ceramic restorations.

Material and methods: Sample disks at several thickness values were made in glass-ceramic (IPS-Empress), an experimental ceramic, a zirconia, a carbon fiber post material, a resin composite material (Z100) as reference, and a luting cement (Variolink II).

A laboratory procedure, with 3 possible combinations of stapling the disks, was used.

RESULTS: When ceramic thickness was 1 mm, all other variables were visually appreciable.

As this parameter can be controlled by the operator only to a certain extent, it cannot be considered as a procedure to correct color.

[Title] Adhesion between fiber posts and resin luting agents: a microtensile bond strength test and an SEM investigation following different treatments of the post surface.

PURPOSE:. (1) To evaluate the interfacial strength between FRC Postec posts and three luting agents (Multilink, Variolink II, and MultiCore Flow) following different surface treatments, and (2) to observe the effect of sandblasting (Rocatec Pre) on the surface morphology of methacrylate-based fiber posts.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The posts received one of the following surface treatments:.

The three luting agents were bonded to the post and the post-cement bond strength was evaluated with the microtensile test.

SEM observation of sandblasted and nontreated posts was performed.

Post-cement interfaces were also evaluated.

Data were statistically analyzed with two-Way ANOVA with post treatment and luting agent as factors.

Tukey's test was applied for post-hoc comparisons.

RESULTS: Post treatment and the interaction between type of luting agent and type of post treatment were significant factors for bond strength (p < 0.001).

SEM observation revealed an increased surface roughness and exposure of fibers in sandblasted posts.

CONCLUSION: Silanization was confirmed to be a reliable method for improving the bond strength of resin luting agents to fiber posts.

Bond strength of resin luting agents to fiber posts was not influenced by the type of luting agent.

The sandblasting procedure modified the methacrylate-based post surface texture.

[Title] Influence of C-factor on the microtensile bond strength between fiber posts and resin luting agents.

PURPOSE: To propose an experimental model for assessing the interfacial strength between post and luting agent under clinically relevant conditions of post space diameter and cement layer thickness.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: DentinPost (Komet, DP) and GC (GC) glass fiber posts were tested.

A sample of 22 posts per type was randomly subdivided into two equal groups based on the material for cementation: Panavia F 2.0 (Kuraray, PF) and MultiCore Flow (Ivoclar Vivadent, MF).

Within each group, 2 subgroups were defined depending on the procedure for specimen preparation.

In subgroup A (NO-M), the resin cement was incrementally stratified around a post centered within a plastic matrix until the latter was filled.

In subgroup B (M), first a mold of resin cement with an artificial post space was created.

Then, using the same cement, the post was luted into the dowel space.

Microtensile beams were cut and loaded to measure post/cement interfacial strengths.

RESULTS: Bond strengths in MPa were (median; 25th-75th percentile): DP/PF/M 4.5; 3.1-7.4; DP/PF/NO-M 9.2; 5.8-12.4; DP/MF/M 14.2; 10.2-20-6; DP/MF/NO-M 16.5; 13.1-21.7; GC/PF/M 7.6; 3.3-11.7; GC/PF/NO-M 7.8; 5.1-11-9; GC/MF/M 16.7; 14.3-3-22; GC/MF/NOM 20.4; 15.6-24.

Irrespective of post type and of specimen preparation procedure, with or without mold, significantly higher bond strengths were measured for MF.

On both post types, both cements achieved similar interfacial strengths regardless of the C-factor.

CONCLUSION: The influence of a clinically relevant C-factor on the adhesion of resin cements to glass fiber posts was not statistically significant.

[Title] Allocation of training posts to applicants for postgraduate medical education in austria: survey and analysis.

PURPOSE: To analyze the consequences of the current procedure for allocating training posts to medical graduates in Austria.

RESULTS: A total of 2,736 respondents (34%) completed the questionnaire in the two mailings: 50.3% of physicians--43.2% of male physicians and 58.6% of female physicians--were not practicing in their originally preferred specialty.

An average of 11 months of additional training was spent at official training posts in specialties other than those finally practiced.

CONCLUSIONS: The Austrian allocation procedure is ineffective, uneconomical, and unfair for the applicants.

The authors call the way in which the Austrian training post allocation system governs specialty choice the "musical-chairs effect."

[Title] A one step procedure for luting glass fibre posts: an SEM evaluation.

AIM: To evaluate the ability of two luting procedures for bonding translucent fibre posts to form resin tags, adhesive lateral branches, and resin dentine interdiffusion zones (RDIZ).

Forty translucent fibre posts (DT posts, RTD) were inserted.

RESULTS: With all luting procedures the formation of a RDIZ occurred.

CONCLUSIONS: In this laboratory study, when bonding a translucent fibre post into a root canal, the luting procedure including light curing of the adhesive solution before the placement of the cement was more satisfactory, from a SEM standpoint, than the procedure involving the simultaneous curing of adhesive and cement (one step procedure).

[Title] Light transmission of posts and cores used for the anterior esthetic region.

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a routine procedure in everyday clinical practice.

Placement of posts and cores is often required for replacement of the missing coronal aspect of teeth.

Use of traditional post-and-core systems (gold and titanium) in conjunction with all-ceramic restorations results in poor esthetics because of the reflection and lack of light transmission.

The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate the light transmission of a (1) ceramic post (Celay), (2) polyester post reinforced with zirconium fibers (Snowlight), and (3) zirconia post (Cosmopost), in comparison with a cast-metal post and core covered with opaque porcelain (control).

[Title] Influence of chlorhexidine application at longitudinal push-out bond strength of fiber posts.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of chlorhexidine application after dentin phosphoric acid etching at immediate and long-term bond strength of a fiber post cemented to root dentin.

Three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive and dual-cured resin cement was used to cementation procedure.

RESULTS: Chlorhexidine application had no influence on bond strength when teeth were stored at the same aging time (P > .05).

CONCLUSION: After 6 months, chlorhexidine application did not effectively arrest bond strength degradation of fiber posts cemented in human roots.

[Title] Laboratory assessment of the retentive potential of adhesive posts: a review.

OBJECTIVES: This review aimed at summarizing the laboratory evidence collected on the retentive ability of adhesive posts since their introduction in dentistry.

STUDY SELECTION: To collect the evidence of interest, the following search terms were used: bond* AND fiber post AND in vitro; lut* AND fiber post AND in vitro; push-out AND fiber post; pull-out AND fiber post; microtensile AND fiber post.

The retentive ability of adhesive posts has been tested with the microtensile technique, post-pull-out and push-out tests.

Although adhesion to intraradicular dentin is more challenging to achieve than bonding to crown tissues, the post-retention achieved with current luting systems and techniques is adequate to ensure the clinical success of adhesive post-retained restorations.

To enhance the bond at the post-core and post-cement interfaces, several chemical pre-treatments of the post-surface have been tested with positive results.

Self-adhesive resin cements, recently proposed to simplify the post-luting procedure, should be investigated further with regard to durability.

[Title] The effect of custom adaptation and span-diameter ratio on the flexural properties of fiber-reinforced composite posts.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether custom modification resulting in an anatomically shaped post and whether the span/diameter ratio (L/D) would affect the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composite posts.

METHODS: Preformed glass-fiber posts (Group 1) and modified glass-fiber posts (Group 2) and glass-fiber rods (Groups 3 and 4) (n=20) were loaded to failure in a three-point bending test to determine the maximum load (N), flexural strength (MPa) and flexural modulus (GPa).

RESULTS: The maximum load recorded for Groups 1 and 2 was 72.5+/-5.9N and 73.4+/-6.4N respectively, while for Groups 3 and 4 was 215.3+/-7N and 156.6+/-3.6N respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: The flexural properties of an anatomically custom modified fiber post were not affected by the modification procedure and the span-diameter ratio is an important parameter for the interpretation of flexural strength and flexural modulus values.

[Title] Clinical procedure for luting glass-fiber posts.

PURPOSE: This report presents clinical cases in which a self-activating dual-cure adhesive system was used in combination with proprietary self-curing resin cement for bonding a translucent glass-fiber post.

The clinical luting procedure of a self-activating bonding/self-curing resin cement system in combination with a glass-fiber post based on fiber-reinforced technology is documented.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The glass-fiber post was placed into a root canal preparation under clinical conditions and documented.

RESULTS: The SEM observations clearly showed that the bonding mechanism between Excite Dual Cure and root dentin was based on hybrid layer, resin tag, and adhesive lateral branch formation.

CONCLUSION: The luting procedure described is simple and easy, and can be proposed as a daily clinical technique.

[Title] [Post-dural puncture headache].

[Transliterated title] Post-duralpunktur hovedpine.

Post dural puncture headache is one of the major complications of spinal anaesthesia.

The symptoms are probably due to leakage of cerebro-spinal fluid from the subarachnoid space to the epidural space which results in intracranial hypotension and tension of the nociceptive intracranial structures.

This procedure should be considered as the primary method of treatment in patients in whom post dural puncture headache contributes to prolongation of the period of convalescence.

[Title] Modified heparin-Sepharose procedure for determination of plasma lipolytic activities of normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic subjects after injection of heparin.

A modified heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography procedure (Boberg et al., J. Lipid Res.

18:544-547, 1977) was developed to determine two different triglyceride lipase activities in human post-heparin plasma: hepatic triglyceride lipase (I) and lipoprotein lipase (II).

With this procedure, lipoproteins were separated from the eluted lipases.

The use of heparin as eluting agent prevents the partial inhibition of II, in contrast to the procedure based on elution of II with a high concentration of NaCl.

In a comparative study with the modified heparin-Sepharose affinity column chromatography, the immunochemical and protamine sulfate inhibition procedures, the results indicated that these three procedures are equally suitable for the determination of I and II from normolipidemic subjects.

However, because of possible interference by plasma, the column-chromatographic procedure is the preferred method for measuring lipase concentrations in post-heparin plasma of hyperlipidemic patients.

The II activity of post-heparin plasma from normolipidemic subjects was not significantly age-(20-39 and 40-60 years) or sex-related.

[Title] [The Custodis procedure--technic and results (author's transl)].

Within the post 11 years 2,722 retinal detachments needed surgery.

The mostly used procedure of Custodis consists in an implant, which covering the area of the hole is impressed into the sclera by mattress sutures.

Summarizing the number of retinal detachments operated in the University clinic of Münster during 1955--1957 (Pau), 1958--1961 (Böke) as well as ours (1966--1977), 4,030 retinal surgeries (minus 10% encircling procedures) underwent within 18 years a Custodis procedure.

The success rate of 85% indicates that Custodis' technic enables to optimal results.

[Title] [Post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. Personal experience].

[Transliterated title] L'ipocalcemia post-tiroidectomia. La nostra esperienza.

BACKGROUND: The study evaluates the incidence of both early and protracted post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia over a 6-year period (1995-2000) in a series of 330 consecutive thryoid operations.

METHODS: Having performed a statistical ana-lysis of all the variables, we divided the entire population of 330 patients into 4 groups based on the extent of demolition, the method of organotherapeutic replacement with L-Thyroxine and the (eco-radioguided) procedure used to identify the parathyroids: 59 patients undergoing subtotal thyroidectomy; 155 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy who commenced replacement organotherapy from postoperative day 15-30; 94 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy who commenced replacement organotherapy from postoperative day 1; 22 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy who underwent routine intraoperative parathyroid assay.

RESULTS: The results show that the impact of more radical surgery in determining hypocalcemia, in particular protracted hypocalcemia, represents the most striking characteristic of patients with the greatest probability of permanent parathyroid insufficiency.

[Title] Suction lipectomy preceding pregnancy and postpartum results.

A retrospective case-control study was undertaken to determine if women who have undergone suction lipectomy of the abdomen, flanks and lower extremities suffer any reversal of the beneficial results of the procedure as a result of a subsequent term pregnancy and parturition.

Controls included three women patients who did not become pregnant following the surgery, for whom similar measurements were available pre-suction lipectomy and post-suction lipectomy at short-term and long-term follow-up.

Results showed insignificant, if any, change between measurements before and after pregnancy in cases; in controls, excellent agreement was also achieved between measurements taken post-surgically at short-term and at long-term follow-up.

[Title] Effect of eugenol-containing endodontic sealer on retention of prefabricated posts luted with adhesive composite resin cement.

An attempt was also made to identify and to determine the most effective cleansing procedure.

Findings of this study demonstrated a substantial decrease in retention of posts luted with Panavia composite resin cement in the presence of eugenol.

Irrigation with ethyl alcohol (ethanol) or etching with 37% phosphoric acid gel was found to be effective in restoring the resistance to dislodgment of the posts, but alcohol produced the most consistent and reliable results.

[Title] [Angiogenesis VEGF165 gene therapy with AdVEGF- a new delay procedure for flaps].

The creation of sublethal ischemia as an angiogenic stimulus known as "Delay" is a well established procedure in plastic surgery, although the underlying molecular biological mechanisms still remain unknown.

Additional random pattern flaps were raised seven days post gene therapy or delay.

The Delay procedure results in a significantly and locally raised concentration of the VEGF growth factor.

Both VEGF gene therapy and Delay seem to promote similar mechanisms whereas the gene therapy produced superior results in this setting.

[Title] Questionnaire based results of the bulbourethral sling procedure.

PURPOSE: The success rate of the bulbourethral sling procedure to treat post-radical prostatectomy incontinence has been reported in a previous chart review analysis.

We present further evaluation of the procedure using postoperative mailed questionnaires.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 1994 and October 1997, 66 men underwent the bulbourethral sling procedure at our hospital.

RESULTS: Of the 66 patients 4 required bolster removal for infection (2), erosion (1) or pain (1), and 1 died.

CONCLUSIONS: The short-term success rate following the bulbourethral sling procedure is high but persistent perineal discomfort is common.

[Title] Orthograde endodontic retreatment of teeth with individual cast posts: report of two cases.

Intraradicular individual cast posts were removed using ultrasonic instruments.

CONCLUSION: When there are metal posts or broken instruments in the root canal, the use of ultrasonic instruments is considered a safe method characterized by negligible tooth substance loss and minimal root damage causing fractures and perforations, and the entire procedure is effective and predictable.

Non-surgical orthograde endodontic retreatment, when properly performed in accessible and penetrable root canals, achieves a high cure rate, good and lasting results and eliminates the need for radical procedures, such as apical surgery or tooth extraction.

[Title] [Omentopexy associated with the use of Redon catheters in post-cardiac surgery mediastinitis with vascular prosthesis infection: immediate results in five patients].

[Transliterated title] Omentopessi associata all'utilizzo dei cateteri di Redon nelle mediastiniti post-cardiochirurgiche con infezione di protesi vascolari: risultati immediati in cinque pazienti.

BACKGROUND: Post-cardiac surgery mediastinitis is a dangerous complication with an elevated mortality risk particularly when infection affects vascular prostheses.

RESULTS: One patient with unstable hemodynamic conditions died of multiorgan failure following a state of generalized sepsis; the remaining 4 patients had complete resolution of the clinical picture.

None showed complications related to the procedure.

The 4 survived patients were followed up at 1 month and underwent clinical and instrumental evaluation by chest computed tomography, which yielded negative results without signs of infection.

CONCLUSIONS: Our limited experience definitely encourages us to use these combined techniques in the treatment of post-cardiac surgery mediastinitis in patients with vascular prostheses.

[Title] Long-term results of the bulbourethral sling procedure.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the long-term efficacy of the male bulbourethral sling procedure in the treatment of post-radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 1994 and June 2000, 95 patients with post-radical prostatectomy incontinence underwent bulbourethral sling placement with tetrafluoroethylene bolsters at our hospital.

Group 1 consisted of 62 patients who had not undergone prior radiation therapy and group 2 consisted of 9 who had undergone radiation therapy before the sling procedure.

RESULTS: Mean followup from the most recent sling procedure was 4 years (range 0.27 to 6.55).

A total of 86 procedures were performed on 71 patients.

Including retightening procedures 68% of the patients (72% of group 1, 43% of group 2) required 2 or less pads daily.

CONCLUSIONS: The male bulbourethral sling procedure remains an effective treatment for post-prostatectomy incontinence at 4-year followup.

[Title] Incidence of root fractures and methods used for post removal.

AIM: This study was undertaken to determine the incidence of root fractures during post removal, as well as the methods used and the success rates achieved with various post removal devices and techniques.

A total of 1600 teeth from which posts were removed were identified.

The incidence of root fractures was determined and a subset of 234 patient records were examined in detail to determine the methods used to remove different types of posts.

RESULTS: Only one tooth fractured during post removal (0.06%) and all posts were successfully removed, typically in about 3 min.

Most cast posts were removed with an Eggler post remover but some dislodged when the crown was removed; ultrasonics was used occasionally.

Most parallel-sided posts were removed with ultrasonics and threaded posts were unscrewed.

The Masserann kit and ultrasonics were combined to remove fractured cast posts and some parallel-sided posts.

CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that, with good case selection, post removal is a predictable procedure.

If appropriate techniques and devices are used for the particular type of post being removed, then root fracture is a rare occurrence.

[Title] Medium-term results from pulmonary autografts after the Ross procedure in children and adolescents.

INTRODUCTION: The Ross procedure is being used increasingly for the treatment of aortic valve problems in children, but the long-term prospects of the pulmonary autograft and its ability to grow continue to be controversial.

This study summarises the experience of our centre from using the Ross procedure in children and adolescents.

METHODS: During the period November 1996 to March 2004, 35 children aged 3 months to 18 years (mean 10.6 +/- 5.4 years) and weighing 3.2-71 kg (mean 35.4 +/- 19.8 kg) underwent the Ross procedure for the treatment of aortic valve disease (stenosis--25, 71.4%; regurgitation--5, 14.3%; mixed--5).

The majority of patients (n=26, 74.2%) had a history of aortic valve procedures.

RESULTS: Perioperative mortality was zero.

There was one late (sudden) death 3 years after the procedure.

Haemodynamic parameters at the last follow-up examination were similar to those immediately post procedure: 12 patients (versus 11) had trivial and 3 mild aortic regurgitation.

CONCLUSIONS: The Ross procedure seems to be the ideal solution for aortic valve problems in children, because of the small perioperative risk, the excellent haemodynamic results, and the potential of the autograft to grow, as shown by medium-term follow up.

[Title] [Netherlands Fertility Survey, 1977: adjusting for non-response by means of post-stratification].

[Transliterated title] Onderzoek Gezinsvorming 1977, corrigeren voor nonrespons met behulp van post-stratificatie

This article contains results from the 1977 Netherlands Fertility Survey adjusted to take into account the factor of non-response.

The adjustment method used, called post-stratification, is described.

Adjusted survey results are obtained by classifying the respondents by period of birth, degree of urbanization, and number of live-born children.

The findings indicate that the changes caused by the weighting procedure are not substantial and that the results of the survey are accurate.

[Title] The male bulbourethral sling procedure for post-radical prostatectomy incontinence.

PURPOSE: We evaluate the efficacy of the male bulbourethral sling procedure in the treatment of post-radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the records of 64 consecutive men with severe post-prostatectomy incontinence who underwent the male bulbourethral sling procedure at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Stanford University Hospital.

RESULTS: Following a single sling procedure 36 patients (56%) became dry, and 5 (8%) were significantly improved.

In 17 patients 23 retightening procedures were performed, which decreased the median followup to 16 months and increased the success rate to 75% (67% cured, 8% improved).

CONCLUSIONS: The male bulbourethral sling procedure is effective treatment for post-radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

[Title] [Angiocardiographic characteristics of patients post bidirectional Glenn procedure].

OBJECTIVE: The study was performed to observe the angiocardiographic characteristics of patients post bidirectional Glenn procedure.

METHODS: Thirty-eight consecutive patients [24 male/14 female, age 0.9 - 28 (7.8 ± 5.6) years] underwent bidirectional Glenn procedure were included in this study.

Postoperative cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography were performed at 2 - 7 (4.1 ± 1.9) years after bidirectional Glenn procedure.

RESULTS: Of 38 patients, pulmonary arterial mean pressure (PAMP) was (14.8 ± 4.5) mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa), the mean pressure of superior vena cava (MPSVC) was (15.4 ± 5.4) mm Hg and no pressure gradient was detected.

CONCLUSION: Catheterization and angiocardiography play an important role in recognizing the complications post bidirectional Glenn procedure.

[Title] Dexmedetomidine sedation for pediatric post-Fontan procedure patients.

OBJECTIVE: The hemodynamic, respiratory, and sedative effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) for pediatric patients post-Fontan surgery.

RESULT: A retrospective review was conducted on 14 pediatric patients who had undergone a Fontan procedure for congenital heart disease.

A vital component of postoperative management of these patients is to prevent an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) that may lead to a serious reduction in cardiac output.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this retrospective review of the role of DEX in the management of the post-Fontan surgical pediatric patient indicate some potential advantages.

[Title] Mechanical resistance of cemented post and core buildups for ITI-Bonefit implants.

In order to improve the prosthetic versatility of the ITI-Bonefit implant system, a clinical technique was tested whereby a custom made post and core buildup was cemented into implants.

Specially designed threaded and serrated posts were machined in precious metal.

After the posts were seated into the threaded channel of the implants, cores were built using autopolymerizing resin.

For the remainder of the procedure, the buildups were treated like natural abutments using conventional prosthodontic techniques.

The ultimate tensile strength of annealed posts lies in the 700-800 N range.

By comparison, the pull-out resistance of posts cemented into natural roots ranged between 108 and 177 N, and the maximum pull-out resistance of manufactured abutments is about 1040 N.

Considering these favorable results, we conclude that the technique described above can be applied clinically for further investigation.

[Title] [Extremely low-birth-weight infant with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus: surgical procedure and recognition by sonography].

In two infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with birth-weight of less than 1,000 g, serial cranial real-time sonograms were obtained to determine the subependymal germinal matrix hemorrhage and follow up the post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, compared with computerized tomographic scan.

This paper reports the results of the placement of a subcutaneous ventricular reservoir in these extremely low-birth-weight infants to resolve progressive post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus and protect their cortical mantle until their risks of ventriculo-peritoneal shunting procedure are acceptable.

In these infants, the hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure were controlled and following shunting procedure after their medical and anesthetic problems resolved.

BACKGROUND: The concept of a hybrid approach, combining the most effective techniques of surgical and endocardial catheter ablation has resulted in the creation of the convergent ablation procedure.

This novel, pericardioscopic, hybrid approach can be an effective option for highly symptomatic patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PSAF) and longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) for whom standalone surgical or endocardial ablation procedures offer sometimes unsatisfactory outcomes.

RESULTS: The HABL procedure was feasible in all patients.

At six months post procedure, 72.2% (13/18) of patients were in SR, and 66.5% (12/18) were off class I/III AADs.

At one year post procedure, 80% (8/10) of patients were in SR and off class I/III AADs.

At two year post procedure, 100% (6/6) of patients were in SR and off class I/III AADs.

Rapid change in left ventricular function was noted in patients with low LVEF (≤ 35%) prior to the procedure.

[Title] [Hartmann's procedure. Indications, results. Apropos of 105 cases].

Post operatory mortality was at a rate of 13% (14 died) concerning 25% of immediately operated patients and 6% of delayed operations.

Post operatory mortality was at a rate of 15.4% for malignant disease and 8.8% for benign disease.

Post operatory results were complicated with 4 occlusives syndromes, 3 fistula from the rectum, 1 cholecystis, 1 small intestine perforation.

[Title] [Complications of splenectomy in the Sugiura-Futagawa procedure].

BACKGROUND: Splenectomy in portal hypertension is a more difficult procedure and probably has a higher morbidity and mortality.

RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 42 years: 81 patients were male and 74 female.

Complications were found in 16 cases (10.3%): 13 of them related to the surgical procedure (peritonitis 3.9%, subphrenic collection 1.9%, pancreatic pseudocyst 1.9% and pancreatic fistula 0.6%) and three related to the absence of spleen (1.9%) with septic shock as manifestation.

CONCLUSIONS: The complications related to splenectomy in the Sugiura-Futagawa procedure are low, as well as the overwhelming post-splenectomy infection rate.

Splenectomy in the Sugiura-Futagawa operation has no important role in the post-operative morbidity.

[Title] Laser in situ keratomileusis to correct post-keratoplasty astigmatism; 1-step versus 2-step procedure.

PURPOSE: To investigate the correction of post-penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) astigmatism using laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated after LASIK was performed in 1 step (lamellar cut and ablation in 1 procedure) or 2 steps (lamellar cut then ablation in 2 successive procedures).

METHODS: In this prospective observational study, 22 consecutive eyes were divided into 2 groups depending on the LASIK procedure performed to correct post-PKP astigmatism.

RESULTS: A statistically significant improvement was obtained in Group 2 with a mean vector analysis result of the cylinder of -4.37 diopters (D) +/- 1.79 (SD) (P = .018).

CONCLUSION: The 2-step technique improved the accuracy of excimer laser correction of post-PKP astigmatism.

[Title] New procedure to evaluate aromaticity at the density functional theory, Hartree-Fock, and post-self-consistent field levels.

The extra stabilization energy (ESE) of benzene is -36.3 kcal/mol (B3LYP/6-31G*), and the level of density functional theory, Hartree-Fock, and post-self-consistent field (Møller-Plesset 2, configuration interaction singles and doubles, and singles and doubles coupled-cluster) and the basis sets have slight effect on the ESE.

Based on the comparisons between our procedure, Morokuma's energy decomposition analysis and the block-localized wave function method, it was confirmed that our program calculates reliable results.

[Title] The left Monti-Malone procedure: Preliminary results in seven cases.

RESULTS: The follow-up range is 18 months to 1.5 months.

Five children are clean and perform their antegrade enemas after dinner to avoid the embarrassment of post enema leakages.

CONCLUSION: Although it is a short series with a short follow-up, the first results collected show a significant shortening of the duration of the enema with excellent outcomes in terms of continence.
