Fixation materials used in the surgical treatment of subcondylar fractures contribute to successful clinical outcomes.In this study, we simulated the mechanical properties of four fixation materials [titanium (Ti), magnesium alloy (Mg alloy), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide (HA-PLLA)] in a finite-element analysis model
Abstract Rickettsia occurs worldwide and rickettsiosis is recognized as an emerging infection in several parts of the world.Ticks are reservoir hosts for pathogenic Rickettsia species in humans and domestic animals.Most pathogenic Rickettsia species belong to the spotted Fever Group (SFG).This study aimed to identify and diagnose tick fauna and inv
BACKGROUND:The extraembryonic endoderm (ExEn) defines the yolk sac, a set of membranes that provide essential support for mammalian embryos.Recent findings suggest that the committed ExEn precursor is present already in the embryonic Inner Cell Mass (ICM) as a group of cells that intermingles with the closely related epiblast precursor.All ICM cell
