Abstract

The lack of the available bone in the posterior maxilla is determined by the range of anatomical and topographical factors. Lateral sinus floor elevation is the procedure for vertical augmentation in this region. Several complications may occur while performing a lateral sinus lift and bleeding due to alveolar antral artery (AAA) damage is one of them. The aim of the study is to analysis the different literature on AAA topographical features on cadaver species and on radiographic methods. A search of the English language literature was performed by three independent readers in the PubMed electronic database. Articles published between 2013 and 2018 on cadaver and radiographic studies were included. The analysis included 9 articles. AAA prevalence in cadavers was 100% but AAA bone signs in CBCT studies varied between 32% and 93%. The diameter varied from 0.91 mm to 3.6 mm, and the distances from AAA to the sinus floor and to the alveolar ridge crest were 7.38-9.97 and 14.6-18.66 mm respectively. Our literature analysis showed the difference between AAA prevalence in cadavers and in CBCT scans. The results show that even proper pre-operative planning of the lateral sinus lift with CBCT cannot guarantee avoiding AAA damage while p...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
