AbstractWe describe an alternative method of manipulating fractured nasal bones using a surgical mallet and a champagne cork. This method enables accurate fracture reduction with minimal skin trauma, by affording the surgeon a high level of control. This method may be applied successfully to late-presenting fractures.

Abstract Volatility studies on technical chlordane under normal laboratory conditions of temperature and fluorescent lighting indicate that only the contribution of trans- and cis-chlordane to the total mixture remains fairly constant. Using this approach, an alternative method of calculation has been evaluated for chlordane residues. Calculation of residues by comparison of GLC peaks for total trans- and cischlordane results in values within ±5% of those calculated from the total area, after correction for a uniform high bias.

Antigen Testing

ABSTRACTMultiple applications of low cost and rapid antigen tests for individuals, in parallel (at the same time) or at times sufficiently close to each other, when appropriately interpreted can considerably increase sensitivity of these tests, improving on their performance greatly. Under reasonable assumptions, this occurs when considering a positive to arise in a composite test if at least one of two underlying repeated tests are positive. Parallel Rapid Testing can potentially provide a form of testing that is accessible (combining wide availability and lack of expense) and quick. Moreover, it can provide a level of sensitivity that is comparable to seemingly more sophisticated but more expensive alternatives. In combination with sequential testing, this strategy offers an alternative method of testing that can be applied immediately and on a widespread basis.

Cu-sil dentures are a newer type of transitional denture. Cu-sil is the most straightforward and gentle removable partial denture available. Its a tissue-bearing acrylic denture with a soft elastomeric seal that holds the natural tooths neck in place, keeping food and fluids out while cushioning and splinting each natural tooth from the hard acrylic denture base.Cu-sil dentures are made to preserve the alveolar bone by preserving the remaining natural teeth. This case report demonstrates an alternative method for fabricating Cu-sillike dentures.

Tender assisted drilling has been used with fixed platforms for a number of years. Although new to the deepwater drilling arena, tender assisted drilling provides an alternative method for drilling from dry tree units such as Spars and Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs). Studies have shown that deepwater tender assisted drilling is technically feasible. In addition, a tender assisted drilling program for a TLP is currently in operation in a field with a water depth of 3200 ft, and tender assisted drilling is planned for three developments due for installation within the next two years. Successful execution of tender assisted drilling requires attention to various issues throughout the project from concept selection through detailed design. These factors include the overall field layout, metocean criteria, and applicable design standards. Examples of platform payload impact (compared to self-contained drilling) are included.

Background: The aim was to use an alternative technique to orthognathic surgery with similar functional and aesthetic outcome with the added advantages of being less invasive and comfortable to a patient. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of PRP in the acceleration of Orthodontic treatment using Invisalign to correct a malocclusion of Class III with functional reverse bite in a patient who declined surgery but requested the least visible and time consuming procedure. Methods: PRP was applied three times during the course of the therapy. The orthodontic treatment lasted 10 months. The patient was further provided with restorative care. Protrusion of teeth 11, 21, and 22 by bodily movement, shaping of the upper dental arch and rectification of lower incisors were achieved with no adverse effect to the patient’s dental health. Since we assumed that the pathophysiology of the effect of PRP is the same as for corticotomy, we must assume an effect lasting only three months. The great advantage of our method is the fact that it is a minimally invasive technique and hence we could repeat the procedure thrice. Results: Three applications of PRP significantly shortened the length of orthodontic therapy from 21 months to 10 months. Conclusions: We can conclude that although the technique is perhaps a bit lengthy in terms of time taken to achieve the desired results after surgery but it provides a safe alternative approach for patients who decline surgery or instances where surgery cannot be carried out.

Hump Resection

The nasal midvault is an important consideration in rhinoplasty. This region is defined by the attachment of the upper lateral cartilages (ULCs) to the nasal bones superiorly and the cartilaginous septum medially. Inadequate management of the nasal midvault can have negative functional and aesthetic ramifications. Indications for midvault reconstruction in primary rhinoplasty include a narrow midvault, dorsal hump resection, a deviated midvault, and an asymmetric midvault, with an additional relative indication of zone 1 lateral wall insufficiency (LWI), defined as dynamic collapse of a weakened lateral nasal wall at the level of the ULC. Numerous techniques for midvault reconstruction have been described, dating back to Sheen's description of the spreader graft in the 1980s, which remains the gold standard for repair. Herein, the various indications for midvault reconstruction are described, along with a discussion of the most commonly used techniques for successful reconstruction.

Gag Reflex

Gag reflex is a physiologic mechanism that promotes contraction of the muscles of the tongue and pharyngeal walls. Different factors, including intraoral radiographic films and sensors, may trigger this reflex. Patients with severe gag reflex may not be able to tolerate the presence of intraoral radiographic films or sensors during root canal therapy (RCT). This factor may prevent an appropriate intraoral radiograph, which is important in RCT. Different approaches have been used to facilitate dental procedures in patients suffering from severe gag reflex. The use of an extraoral radiographic technique is an alternative method to obtain working length confirmation in patients with severe gag reflex. In this report of 2 cases, the use of an extraoral radiographic technique as an alternative approach during RCT in patients with severe gag reflex associated with phobic behavior and trismus was successfully demonstrated.

Alternative Research

This research constitutes an alternative to proportional composition studies of the original Great Mosque and its four extensions in Córdoba, based on diagonals of a square and rectangles in ratio 1:√2 and 1:√3 (Fernández-Puertas, 2000, 2008). The method for this alternative research consists of graphic analyses by iteration of hypothetical products of the golden section in AutoCAD 2D software conducted on architectural drawings of the original Great Mosque and its four extensions, in reconstruction, according to measurements from the relevant literature. The alternative method insists on geometric harmonization derived from only one starting length in all drawings of same scale. It resulted in the production of a single harmonization pattern based on the golden section, with an additional sequence of a√2/Φn, successively developed for the original monument and its four extensions. It also includes otherwise excluded basic composition elements (minarets) and reveals otherwise hidden proportional qualities. The alternative approach enabled a deduction of algebraic expressions having only one variable for all drawings of the same scale. Their arithmetic values and deviations from real dimensions are calculated. Geometric harmonization by golden section with another starting length is applied to the drawing of the elevation at a different scale.
