An Comparative Study of the Soft Tissue Response and Esthetics of the Titanium Implant with Titanium Collar by Flapless and Conventional Flap Technique.

Background: These days, patients want quick results for tooth replacement and esthetic results. However, there is no direct correlation between the achievement of osseointegration and the outcome of successful treatment always. It is vital to sustaining peri-implant soft tissue health for extensive tenure success of the implant.

Synergistic Chromatin-Modifying Treatments Reactivate Latent HIV and Decrease Migration of Multiple Host-Cell Types.

Upon infection of its host cell, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) establishes a quiescent and non-productive state capable of spontaneous reactivation. Diverse cell types harboring the provirus form a latent reservoir, constituting a major obstacle to curing HIV. Here, we investigate the effects of latency reversal agents (LRAs) in an HIV-infected THP-1 monocyte cell line in vitro.

Internetwork connectivity of molecular networks across species of life.

Molecular interactions are studied as independent networks in systems biology. However, molecular networks do not exist independently of each other. In a network of networks approach (called multiplex), we study the joint organization of transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.

A novel optogenetically tunable frequency modulating oscillator.

Synthetic biology has enabled the creation of biological reconfigurable circuits, which perform multiple functions monopolizing a single biological machine; Such a system can switch between different behaviours in response to environmental cues. Previous work has demonstrated switchable dynamical behaviour employing reconfigurable logic gate genetic networks. Here we describe a computational framework for reconfigurable circuits in E.

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with 2:1 block in pediatric patients.

Background: Episodic 2:1 block occurs in 9% of adults with atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT), but developmental differences in conduction physiology among children could influence this phenomenon.

Objective: This study sought to characterize the frequency and mechanism of 2:1 block during AVNRT in the pediatric population.

Methods: Records of 179 patients (mean age 13.

Impact of manufacturer advisories and FDA recalls of implantable cardioverter defibrillator generators in pediatric and congenital heart disease patients.

Introduction: Recalls of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) generators have affected many patients. No information is available regarding the impact specifically on pediatric and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. This study was undertaken to determine implications of ICD manufacturers' advisories and recalls on children and CHD patients.

Digital music players cause interference with interrogation telemetry for pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators without affecting device function.

Background: Concern exists regarding the potential electromagnetic interaction between pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and digital music players (DMPs). A preliminary study reported interference in 50% of patients whose devices were interrogated near Apple iPods.

Objective: Given the high prevalence of DMP use among young patients, we sought to define the nature of interference from iPods and evaluate other DMPs.
