Did Napoleon suffer from chronic rhonchopathy?

CONCLUSION: If Napoleon had been treated, Europa would then have doubtless been different, and perhaps would not have known the last two Wor … could be due to this disease. This study looked for the morphological peculiarities of this OSAS in sculpture and painting, that had the Emperor as the model. RESULTS: Napoleon presented surely diurnal somnolence, asthenia, obesity, neck shortness, retrognatia, and nasal pathology. He did not suffer from these troubles while he was young. On the contrary, …

Fiber reinforced composite resin systems.

The Targis/Vectris and Sculpture/FibreKor systems were devised to create a translucent maximally reinforced resin framework for fabrication of crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays. These materials are esthetic, have translucency similar to castable glass-ceramics such as OPC and Empress, and have fits that are reported to be acceptable in clinical and laboratory trials. These restorations rely on proper bonding to the remaining tooth structure; therefore, careful attention to detail must be paid to this part of the procedure. Cementation procedures should involve silane treatment of the cleaned…

What evidence exists on the ecological and physical effects of built structures in shallow, tropical coral reefs? A systematic map protocol.

BACKGROUND: Shallow, tropical coral reefs face compounding threats from habitat degradation due to coastal development and pollution, impacts from storms and sea-level rise, and pulse disturbances like blast fishing, mining, dredging, and ship groundings that reduce coral reefs' height and variability. One approach toward restoring coral reef structure from these threats is deploying built structures. Built structures range from engineered modules and repurposed materials to underwater sculptures and intentionally placed natural rocks. Restoration practitioners and coastal managers increasingl…

Development and demonstration of a novel computer planning solution for predefined correction of enophthalmos in anophthalmic patients using prebended 3D titanium-meshes--a technical note.

Ablative surgery of the orbit is often associated with dramatic changes in facial geometry. Surgical intervention is often necessary to correct the functional and esthetic appearance in those patients who are anophthalmic, having an intact eyelid appearance and an orbital prosthesis. The outcome of the surgical correction depends on the shape of the orbital implants and their adequate placement. In the case of comparatively small rearrangements, the effect of implants on soft tissues can be estimated by surgeons on the basis of their experience. However, large deformities in complex cases (inc

Comparison of 2 methods of making surgical models for correction of facial asymmetry.

PURPOSE: Stereolithography is useful in reconstructive surgery in that the surgical template or customized implant can be prefabricated on the models. To correct facial asymmetry, prior reshaping of the replica of the original structures is frequently required before it can be used as a surgical model. This is traditionally accomplished by direct sculpturing. This method has its limitations in clinical use. Recently, we developed a method using computer techniques to reconstruct the required structures. We herein report several of its applications in a variety of clinical situations and compar

[Pain--life's dreaded companion. Cultural history of algology and the most important achievements].

Pain is a comprehensive phenomenon which concerns not only physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology but also music, art, religion, philosophy and everyday life. The early contributions to the development of the specificity theory is described, as are some of the important discoveries in the history of algology, such as Baillou's description of rheumatism, Heberden's description of angina pectoris and the development of the gate control theory. Despite a number of important discoveries and a much improved knowledge in basic science pain is still the dreaded companion of mankind.

A prospective evaluation assessing the effectiveness of the 'Dynamax' mandibular appliance in the management of obstructive sleep apnoea.

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) affects 4-6% of the middle-aged UK population and is responsible for significant partnership disharmony. Nasal CPAP therapy is effective but has poor compliance in less severe cases- bulky with poor portability and frequently deemed socially unacceptable. The 'Dynamax mandibular appliance (DMA) is a current treatment for Skeletal 11 malocclusion characterised by mandibular retrusion. It has the advantage of both maxillary expansion and mandibular advancement and is developed and tailored on an individual basis by orthodontic sculpture. These…

From morphology to molecules: a combined source approach to untangle the taxonomy of Clessinia (Gastropoda, Odontostomidae), endemic land snails from the Dry Chaco ecoregion.

Clessi … d lamellae, has taxonomic importance for species identification. Shell morphometric analyses, inner sculpture of penis and proportion of the epiphallus and penis, were useful tools to species identification. Nuclear markers do not exhibit enough genetic variation to determine species relationships. Based on the mitochondrial markers, genetic distances among …

Differentiation in the Trochulus hispidus complex and related taxa (Pulmonata: Hygromiidae): morphology, ecology and their relation to phylogeography.

In this study we investigated the morphology and ecology of representatives of the taxonomically ambiguous genus Trochulus. The main focus w … erentiated from T. striolatus and T. oreinos by shell morphological and anatomical characters, e.g. sculpture of shell surface and details of the penis. Finally, the habitat of T. oreinos is different from those of the other two species. In contrast to the lack of correspondence between genetic and morphological differentiation within the T. hispidus comple …

Facial reconstruction on the abnormal skull model of a living patient.

OBJECTIVE: The concept of using a skull as the armature upon which to reconstruct a face has been understood for many years. The objective of this study was to blindly test this technique by using a skull that was reconstructed from the computed tomography (CT) scans of a living 48-year-old man. DESIGN: The patient had a bilateral cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. A model of the complete skull produced by a computer-controlled milling machine that used data from the CT scans was used for the reconstruction. Surgery was then performed, and new dental prostheses were also constructed. After surg

Inter- and intraspecific morphometric divergences in a Seychelles endemic gecko genus.

Accurate species delimitation is essential for understanding biodiversity patterns and guiding conservation, yet cryptic species with minimal morphological variation often obscure the assessment of true species diversity, making the identification of reliable diagnostic characters critical. Island radiations exemplify this challenge by concentrating endemic diversity in restricted areas, which accentuates both the urgency of conservation and the need for accurate taxonomy, while often presenting species divergences masked by subtle morphological differences. Here, we investigated patterns of m

Total Anatomical Nasal Skeletal Reconstruction Using a New Autologous Graft: The Tent Shaped Fibular Contoured Bone Graft.

BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of the bony nasal dorsum is a challenge due to the unique anatomy of the nasal bones. The nasal bones by virtue of their shape, angulation and size provide an aesthetic and pleasing contour of the upper nose. The anatomy of the nasal bones can get deformed in many situations like congenital anomalies, iatrogenic and post-traumatic situations leading to nasal deformity. Many options for reconstruction of nasal dorsum are available including soft tissue and bony material. It is always desirable to reconstruct like tissue with like tissue. This paper describes the use o

[Neurological paleopathology in the pre-Columbian cultures of the coast and the Andean plateau (I). Artificial cranial deformation].

AIMS: The aim of this work was to study the cranial trepanations and deformations carried out by the ancient Paraca, Huari, Tiahuanaco and Inca cultures. To do so, we conducted a field study involving visits to archaeological remains and anthropological museums on the Andean plateau and the Peruvian coast. DEVELOPMENT: Cranial deformation was more common in the Andean regions and was performed by putting little pieces of wood or compressive bandages on newborn infants' heads in order to modify the growth axis of the cranial cavity. Cranial deformations were performed for aesthetic and magic r

Brain and external soft tissues were cast using a silicone molding technique from the clay-sculptured prototypes. The 7 simulation scenarios included: 1) temporal craniotomy for a superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass using the M4 branch of the MCA; 2) pterional craniotomy and transsylvian approach for STA-M2 bypass; …

Extending the role of liposuction in body contouring with ultrasound-assisted liposuction.

The initial experience with ultrasound-assisted liposuction in treating difficult fibrous areas, such as gynecomastia, hitherto not uniformly responsive to traditional suction-assisted lipoplasty, has led to the evolution and improvement of ultrasound-assisted liposuction techniques. This prospective study examined 114 consecutive patients treated with ultrasound-assisted liposuction over a 13-month period, from September of 1996 to September of 1997. The means by which this procedure helps achieve fat contouring differs from that of suction-assisted lipoplasty. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction

Reimagination in art and science: Seeing the familiar in a new light and creating new things that didn't exist before.

Many groundbreaking works in art and science owe their origins to the creative spark ignited by reimagination-the process whereby artists and scientists reinterpret and reframe past and existing knowledge, envisioning it in a new context that reveals new possibilities. Artistic and scientific innovation originating from reimagination brings to mind William Faulkner's famous line, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." [W. Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun (1)].
