Accuracy of fit for cobaltchromium bar over two implants fabricated with different manufacturing techniques: an in-vitro study.

Objective: The purpose of the invitro research was to compare the fit of Cobalt Chromium customized bar fabricated with different manufacturing processes cast metal bar, milled bar and 3D printed bar using scanning electron microscope.

Materials And Methods: Clear epoxy resin molds were prepared. In each mold two parallel implants with a 14 mm distance from each other were embedded.

Assessment of hepatic fibrosis and necroinflammation among inactive HBsAg carriers in Egypt.

Unlabelled: INTRODUCTION. The inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carrier state is usually characterized by minimal or absent liver pathology. However, in developing countries, owing to the very early age of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), this state is reached after a very prolonged immune tolerant and immune reactive phase, during which considerable liver damage may have occurred.

Liver fibrosis: consensus recommendations of the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL).

Accurate assessment of the degree of fibrosis is important clinically, especially when treatments aimed at reversing fibrosis are being evolved. Liver biopsy has been considered to be the "gold standard" to assess fibrosis.
