ABSTRACT Objective: To demonstrate if one or more golden relationships between different measurements of the human face exist. Materials and Methods: make our measurements, we used three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry, which has proved to be “gold standard” in field facial anthropometry. We obtained 3D stereophotogrammetric acquisitions 400 healthy young adult subjects, then had them scored by an Evaluation Jury. Each subject received esthetic evaluation ranging from 0 40. Individuals...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are derived from stem cells proving to be promising therapeutic options. We herein investigate the potential of EVs have been different cell sources, bone-marrow (MSC) and human liver (HLSC), on mesangial (MCs) exposed hyperglycaemia. By expressing a dominant negative STAT5 construct (ΔNSTAT5) in HG-cultured MCs, we demonstrated miR-21 expression is under control STAT5, which translates into Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFβ) collagen production. A...
Purpose: To evaluate the ocular complications and visual outcomes in vitrectomized nonvitrectomized eyes with retained lens fragments after phacoemulsification. Setting: Department of Neurological, Psychiatric, Ophthalmological Sciences, University Padua, Italy. Methods: This prospective nonrandomized study comprised 36 consecutive patients intravitreal Eighteen had a pars plana vitrectomy (Group 1), 18 2) were treated medication only. Intraocular pressure (IOP), intraocular inflammation,...
The repeatability of a non-invasive digital protocol proposed to evaluate the three-dimensional (3D) position occlusal plane in face is assessed. Dental virtual models and soft tissue facial morphology 20 adult subjects were digitally integrated using 3D stereophotogrammetric imaging system. coordinates dental landmarks obtained by two different operators. Camper's (facial) (dental) planes individuated, their relationships measured. was investigated showed no significant differences repeated...
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common cause of liver dysfunction during hepatectomy, transplantation procedures and in generalized shock. Although effort has been dedicated to rescuing tissue damage these clinical settings, there still an urgent need for effective treatment protect the from burden I/R injury. In this study, we have investigated potential impact unacylated-ghrelin (UnAG) rat model. Particular attention paid mitochondria. We demonstrate that UnAG was able reduce...
Abstract Purpose To better manage dental treatment outcome, a previsualization of desired appearances can be used to understand patients’ wishes. A deeper comprehension labial modifications related hard‐tissue movements is advantageous. The purpose the study was evaluate tooth restoration‐induced displacements in three dimensions. Materials and Methods In group 20 healthy Caucasian individuals, simulations vestibular translations maxillary anterior crowns were obtained by placing an acrylic...
In a 71-year-old patient with bilateral open-angle glaucoma, intracorneal blood was found after canaloplasty procedure in the right eye. Six weeks surgery on ultrasound biomicroscopy examination, liquified and clots could be observed nasally deep corneal stroma close to Descemet's membrane. The washed out balanced saline solution following incision lamellar dissection. membrane reattached air injection into anterior chamber. Two months later, visual acuity improved 20/50, intraocular...
Abstract A girl with fully expressed osteopathia striata cranial sclerosis (OS) was also found to have a contraction of the two visual fields, sign never previously described in OS syndrome. We suggest that field defect is component manifestation syndrome, whose pathogenesis represented by distortion optic canal and narrowing foramina. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Pathological examination of material from a nonextensive pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the right eye provided diagnosis nonfamilial amyloidosis 68-year-old woman, who presented with bilateral glass wool-like vitreous opacities. Genetic testing revealed Tyr114Cys mutation transthyretin gene. Six months after PPV, perimetry showed intense constriction temporal island and central scotoma eye. An extensive PPV was performed left Spectral domain optical coherence tomography evidenced epimacular...
To report on the outcome of conventional therapy in patients with Coats' disease.Retrospective analysis charts thirteen disease.Mean age 9 male (70%) and 4 female (30%) was 17.7 (range, 5-33) years; one had bilateral disease. Eleven eyes retinal telangiectasia exudation were treated argon laser photocoagulation alone or associated cryotherapy; mean follow up 32.5 (range,17-41) years. In four without foveal involvement (stage 2a) presenting visual acuity (VA) remained at 0.8 improved, whereas...

Introduction. The occlusal plane has a key-role in various dental and medical fields. Several methods have analyzed measured the relative positions of facial planes; most these investigations used 2D radiographic exams. Currently, 3D assessments may be performed overlapping CT reconstructions digitized casts, but method requires ionizing radiations, it is not applicable reference studies with healthy subjects. efficacy measurements could improved by 3D, non invasive approach to problem....
The aim of the present study was to assess a low-cost, non-invasive facial morphometric digitizer assist practitioner in three-dimensional soft-tissue changes before and after oral rehabilitation. method should provide quantitative data support an objective assessment esthetic outcome [1]. Twenty-two patients aged 45-82 years, all with edentulous maxilla mandible, were assessed both receiving their definitive complete implant-supported prostheses (each received 4-11 implants each dental...
Several dental treatments can change position, and modify lip support in the space. Current methods do not allow a non-invasive quantitative assessment of 3D dimensions no simulations treatment effects be made. In current study we devised method for detection dentolabial positions during simulated orthodontic prosthetic treatments. The arches 10 adult healthy subjects were reproduced with stone models, 1and 2-mm thick resin blocks modeled on maxillary frontal teeth (from canine to canine)...
P403 Aims: Since Oct 1, 1997, a new kidney allocation algorithm has been implemented in our organization. The purpose of this retrospective study to evaluate the transplantation rates cohort patients enrolled on waiting list for renal transplantation, according some clinical, immunological and organizational variables, with aim identify penalized categories, if any. Methods: A 5,123 from 16 transplant centers, entered 1997 Dec 31, 2002. Patients combined were excluded. Kidney was performed...
