Median Lingual Foramen, a new midmandibular cephalometric landmark.

Purpose: In asymmetrical mandibles, it is often challenging to identify the mandibular midline. The median lingual foramen (MLF) is located at the midline of the anterior mandible. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reproducibility of identifying the MLF compared to conventional landmarks on cone beam computed tomography's (CBCT's) to mark the mandibular midline.

The role of silver sulphadiazine in the conservative treatment of partial thickness burn wounds: A systematic review.

Background: For more than 40 years, silver sulphadiazine 1% (SSD) is considered as standard therapy for the conservative treatment of burn wounds. However, in the last 10 years, substantial disadvantages of SSD have been reported in the literature and probably as a result of this, several new dressings for burn wounds have been developed and put on the market. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the available evidence on SSD in the conservative treatment of burns, specifically in comparison with the newer burn dressings that are increasingly being used nowadays.

A comparative study of 1% silver sulphadiazine (Flammazine®) versus an enzyme alginogel (Flaminal®) in the treatment of partial thickness burns.

Introduction: In the conservative treatment of burns, rapid wound healing is desirable to obtain good a esthetic and functional results. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of 1% Silversulfadiazine (SSD/Flammazine(®)) and an enzyme alginogel (Flaminal(®) or Flaminal(®) Forte) on the healing of superficial and intermediate partial thickness burns.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study comparable burn wounds treated with Flaminal(®) or with 1% SSD were included.

The distribution of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in the human endometrial basal and functional layer during the normal menstrual cycle. An immunocytochemical study.

The distribution of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in the human endometrial basal and functional layer during the normal menstrual cycle was investigated by means of an immunocytochemical technique. A cyclic pattern of receptor distribution was observed. The highest concentration of hormone receptors was observed in the basal layer, in accordance with the idea that this layer is the source of endometrial regeneration.

Topographical distribution of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in the human endometrium and fallopian tube. An immunocytochemical study.

The topographical distribution of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in the human endometrium and Fallopian tube was investigated by an immunocytochemical technique. A gradient of positively stained cells was observed: the highest oestrogen and progesterone receptor content was noted in the fundal part of the uterine cavity and the ampullar region of the Fallopian tube. The observed gradient is in keeping with biological and pathological events that occur in the human mullerian tract, e.
