Abstract In today’s hyper-partisan environment, scholars and commentators contend that the filibuster poses a nearly insuperable obstacle to a Senate majority party’s agenda, limiting Congress’s output to non-controversial measures. Drawing on data about congressional majority party agenda priorities from 1985 to 2020 we identify when and how majority party legislative efforts fell short of success and take stock of the degree to which the filibuster was the primary culprit. Not surprisingly, our data confirm that the filibuster is a significant problem for majority party agendas. But an even more common cause of failure is the majority party’s inability to agree among themselves. Despite increased voting cohesion generally, parties in the polarized era still routinely struggle to bridge their own internal divides.

The purpose of this study was to analyze various characteristics and classification of C-shaped root canals and evaluate the causes of endodontic failure of C-shaped root canals by examining the resected root surface with an endodontic microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Forty-two teeth with C-shaped root canals were included in this study and had undergone intentional replantation surgery. Before surgery, periapical radiography and cone-beam computed tomography were taken. The root canal configuration was analyzed and classified according to Melton’s classification at coronal and apical level. After injection of 1 : 100,000 epinephrine with 2% lidocaine, the tooth was carefully extracted. After the root-end resection, the resected root surface was examined using an operating microscope and SEM. Mandibular second molars were most frequently involved teeth (90.4%). The most frequently observed root canal configurations were C1 at the coronal level (45.2%) and C3 at the apical 3 mm level (45.2%). The most common cause of failure for a C-shaped root canal treatment was a leaky canal (45.2%), followed by an isthmus (23.8%), missing canal, overfilling, and iatrogenic problems. In conclusion, C-shaped root canals were most frequently found in mandibular second molars. The most common cause of failure was a leaky canal and isthmus.

Cause Of Failure

Records of 48 dogs (57 eyes) that underwent intracapsular lens extraction (ICLE) of displaced lenses were reviewed. Preoperatively, 73% (19/26 eyes) of eyes with anterior luxations had secondary glaucoma compared to 43% (10/23 eyes) with subluxations and 38% (3/8 eyes) with posterior luxations. Forty-one of 57 eyes (72%) had vision and intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 30 mm Hg four to six weeks after surgery. This percentage declined to 61% (22/36 eyes) in three months and 53% (8/15 eyes) in 12 months. Eyes with glaucoma before ICLE had a lower success rate (66%) than eyes without (82%). Since secondary glaucoma was the most common cause of failure, this study suggests that removal of a subluxated lens or a posteriorly luxated lens should be recommended before the lens moves into the anterior chamber.

Cause Of Failure

There are six basic mechanisms of failure: failure due to excessive plastic deformation as the result of static overload or impact, instability, creep, stress corrosion, fatigue and brittle fracture. Conventional design methods almost entirely eliminate the risk from the first two causes, and to a very large extent the risk of failure from creep. Fatigue is the most common cause of failure, and brittle fracture the most spectacular. In the occurrences of failure, joints and in particular the presence of welded joints, frequently play a decisive part owing to: ( a ) the stress concentration they produce, ( b ) the residual stress caused by welding, and ( c ) the metallurgical changes produced by welding. The remedy for avoiding these failures lies in two directions: the wider spread of what is already known mainly through normal educational channels, and an intensification of the research effort in those areas where knowledge is still fragmentary.

Cause Of Failure

Thirty patients (5.5% of all patients who entered CAPD training in three Toronto Hospitals) failed CAPD training during the last five years. A categorization of these training failures revealed that in three patients (10%) were due to dialysis-related problems, and in 11 of them to concurrent medical problems ultimately contributing to training failure. Only in two of 30 (6.6%) failure was due primarily to inadequate intellectual ability. In those situations where partners were responsible for carrying out the dialysis, the most common cause of failure was the inability of the partner to meet all of the other care needs beyond those of dialysis, mainly because the patients were very sick. Other reasons for spousal failure were fear of responsibility and outright spousal countermotivation. Remaining categories of failure in patients were countermotivation (four or 13.3%), inability to adjust emotionally to life with CAPD (seven or 23.3%), physical impediments to carrying out CAPD (two or 6.6%) and severe psychiatric disturbance (one patient or 3.3%).

Purpose: To describe Ex-Press P50 failures due to an internal blockage. Methods: A retrospective series of 248 eyes of 219 patients with Ex-Press P50 surgery was conducted. Of these cases, 18 (7.2%) required surgical revision due to filtration failure with no visible blockages in the gonioscopy and no filtering bleb in the slit lamp examination. In all of these cases, we found fibrosis on the edges of the scleral flap. After dissecting the scleral flap, filtration through the implant was restored spontaneously in 10 (4.0%) cases. In two cases fibrous tissue was observed on the tip of the implant and was necessary to remove it. In 6 (2.4%) cases, there was no filtration despite no visible obstruction and attempts to restore the flow were unsuccessful, requiring extraction of the implant and reconverting to trabeculectomy. Two of the removed devices were sanded until the lumen was visible to ascertain the nature of the obstruction. Results: In our series, the most common cause of failure was episcleral fibrosis. In 2.4% of the cases, the blockage was intraluminal and aqueous flow could not be restored. Conclusion: In the Ex-Press P50 implant an internal blockage, that is not visible through the proximal or distal orifices, may be the cause of failure. Unblocking by surgical maneuvers is not feasible due to the intraluminal design. These cases can be solved by extraction of the implant and conversion to trabeculectomy.

Since the discovery of making impression for fixed protheses directly in the mouth, impresions material or negativeform resembling the tooth and surrounding structures are used to get a working model. Impression received must bea real replica of a tooth that has been prepared. The impressions that are not clear between the borders withgingival preparation are the common cause of failure when impression was made. Good impression is one of thesupporting factors to produce a fixed protheses which can well adapted to the tooth tissue that does not cause leaksand dissolve the cement. So the tooth is protected from caries and the fixed denture can have a better function,durable and good aesthetic. These problems can be overcome by performing gingival retraction on abutment teeththat have been prepared. Gingival retraction can be done mechanically, chemically on prepared abutment teeth byusing gingival cord or paste, and by using electrosurgery.
