Portal vein variants associated with right hepatectomy: An analysis of abdominal CT angiography with 3D reconstruction.

Glissonian approach has been described as a selective vascular clamping procedure during hepatectomy based on external anatomical landmarks. Anatomical variations of the right Glissonian pedicle have been identified with an increased risk of clamping failure during Glissonian approach. The objective of this study was to characterize the anatomical variations of the right Glissonian pedicle at risk of clamping failure during right hepatectomy.

In vitro effects of Choukroun's platelet-rich fibrin conditioned medium on 3 different cell lines implicated in dental implantology.

Objective: The aim of this work was to determine the relevance of Choukroun's platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in dental implantology by determining the in vitro effects of soluble factors released by PRF clot. We used 3 different cell lines implicated in dental implantology: osteoblast, keratinocyte, and fibroblast.

Methods: Cellular viability, cell proliferation, and gene expression were analyzed using PRF conditioned medium.

[218 tooth extraction in patients taking platelet aggregation inhibitors].

Introduction: The aim of this survey was to show that tooth extraction could be performed in patients taking antiplatelet agents. The main indication of antiplatelet agents is to reduce the thrombotic disease.

Material And Method: The authors made a descriptive and retrospective analysis of 52 patients taking antiplatelet agents in their department between February 2003 and January 2005.
