Mechanical, technical, and biological complications of dental implants

Evidence indicates the effectiveness of these modalities in enhancing the quality of life for the affected patients. Furthermore, many previous investigations have assessed the survival rates of these modalities. Estimates show that implant-supported fixed partial dentures have survival rates of up to 10 years. However, it should be noted that many complications were reported following implantation procedures. These events can reduce the prognosis of the process and worsen the outcomes by decreasing the survival rate. The present literature review aims to provide evidence regarding dental implants' technical, biological, and mechanical complications. It should be noted that the incidence of these complications is generally decreasing based on the recent advance in the field. Adequate knowledge of the landmarks, careful treatment planning, proper case selection, obtaining a comprehensive history and information about implant procedure, and proper sterilization protocol are all different factors that can enhance the prognosis of the implant procedure. These can also reduce the frequency of the reported complications. Furthermore, these complications can be further reduced by being up to date with the recent advances and potential problem-solving research that usually provides adequate solutions that can reduce the frequency of these complications.

Whence Orycteropus? The correct authorship and date for the generic name of the aardvark (Mammalia, Tubulidentata, Orycteropodidae)

All else being equal, the principle of priority in zoological taxonomic nomenclature gives precedence to the earliest name for a particular taxon. Determining the origin of some late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century taxonomic names, however, can be vexing, particularly when the history of a name was never completely documented in contemporary synonymies. The authorship and date for Orycteropus Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1796: 102, the genus-group name for the African aardvark, Orycteropus afer (Pallas, 1766), has been variously ascribed to at least four authors other than É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Using digitally imaged publications now available in a variety of internet-accessible libraries, I traced the comprehensive history of the name and show how and, to some extent, why its origin became obscured. É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire’s original description was re-published twice, most likely to make the description more widely available. Rather than reinforce his authorship for the name, however, the surprising consequence of the multiple publications was to cast doubt on it.

Case Report: Budd Chiari Syndrome

Budd-syndrome Chiari's is a rare condition is causes by obstruction to hepatic venous outflow. The female patient 25-year old who was admitted to Acharya Vinoba Bahave Rural Hospital on date 19/06/2019. 4 months ago, she noticed that her abdomen had become prominent. Her appetite became poor and she had vomiting bouts whenever she took food. A detailed clinical evaluation of the The syndrome of Budd-Chiari is based on a comprehensive history of of the patient, angiography is often used to assist in the diagnosis. The treatment also uses (MRI) and ultrasound technique. If the condition is detected early, treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome is more effective. Large doses of corticosteroid, prednisone can also be recommended as heparin like anticoagulants can be efficient in the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome individuals. However, the condition typically has an acute onset and can become chronic later in life. The present case with right anticoagulant therapy, early diagnosis and successful treatment is reported.

Towards Transformative Propaganda: A History of Student Activism at the Australian National University

March 2021 saw the unveiling of a new addition to the vast collection of public artworks at the Australian National University (ANU) campus in Canberra. The piece—an installation entitled A History of Student Activism at the Australian National University—compiles and presents the first comprehensive history of sixty years of student activism at ANU, and sits proudly in the common area of the Marie Reay Teaching Centre. The work comprises a large-scale wall-mounted timeline designed by Joanne Leong, complemented by a pair of moving-image artworks by Esther Carlin and Aidan Hartshorn, all ANU alumni. This article considers A History of Student Activism in the context of contemporary debate on the role of public monuments, and the extent to which public art can drive collective emancipatory action. Drawing on a recent study of the activist potential of art in the twenty-first century by Dutch artist Jonas Staal, this article tests the extent to which A History of Student Activism might serve as a reference point in the turn towards transformative propaganda art.

Cinema on the Front LineCinema on the Front Line offers the first comprehensive history and analysis of how the medium of cinema intersected with the lives of British soldiers during the First World War. Documenting the use of cinema from domestic recruitment drives to make-shift theatrical venues established on the front line, and then in convalescent hospitals and camps, the book provides evidence of the previously unacknowledged importance of cinema as recreational support and entertainment for soldiers living through the trauma of the first world war. Chris Grosvenor makes extensive use of war diaries and other military records to foreground the voices and perspectives of British soldiers themselves.

The Financial Crisis of 2008

Supported by ten years of research, Wigmore has gathered extensive data covering the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recovery to provide the first comprehensive history of the period. Financial crises cannot occur unless institutional investors finance the bubbles that created them. Wigmore follows the trail of data putting pressure on institutional investors to achieve higher levels of returns that led to over-leverage throughout the financial system and placed such a burden on recovery. Here is a 'very good picture - and painful reminder - of the crisis' evolution across multiple asset classes, structures, participants, and geographies.' This work serves as a critical analysis of modern portfolio management and an important reference work for financial professionals, academics, investors, and students.

Overview of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Diagnosis and Improvement

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is an uncommon yet potentially reversible cause of dementia in the elderly. It is characterized by cognitive deterioration, urinary incontinence, ventriculomegaly (enlarged cerebral ventricles) and gait apraxia. The diagnosis and management of iNPH requires an organized approach, starting with a comprehensive history and neurologic examination, a review of neuroimaging, and an evaluation of diagnosis. It is important to treat comorbidities in patients prior to specific iNPH testing, which includes testing patient responses to temporary CSF removal and assessing CSF hydrodynamics. In carefully selected patients, all physiological and neurological symptoms improved with a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery, which allows for a gradual adjustment in pressure to prevent complications caused by over-drainage.

Endometriosis of the sciatic nerve masquerading as lumbar spondylosis in a 40-year-old Chinese woman

A 40-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 4-year history of lower back pain and left lower leg sciatica. The patient had previously tried different modalities of treatments, including massage, acupuncture, ultrasound, alternative Bowen therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), all of which only provided temporary relief. On presentation to a tertiary hospital, careful and comprehensive history taking found that the sciatica pattern of pain always coincided with menstruation. An MRI identified a thickened left sciatic nerve, with surgery confirming sciatic nerve endometriosis. The case highlights the importance of comprehensive history taking in accurately diagnosing a rare aetiology of sciatica with subsequent prompt surgical intervention to avoid severe disability as well as follow-up treatment to prevent recurrence.
