Open reduction and internal fixation of low subcondylar fractures of mandible through high cervical transmasseteric anteroparotid approach.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional and radiologic results of low subcondylar fracture fixation with modus TCP plates (Medartis, Basel, Switzerland) using a high cervical transmasseteric anteroparotid approach. ... Read more...

Adaptive replanning strategies accounting for shrinkage in head and neck IMRT.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Significant anatomic and volumetric changes occur in head and neck cancer patients during fractionated radiotherapy, and the actual dose can be considerably different from the original plan. The purposes of this study were (1) to evaluate ... Read more...

Role of purinergic receptor in alpha fodrin degradation in Par C5 cells.

29 Sep 2009 Autoantibodies specific for alpha-fodrin fragments are found in the tissues of persons afflicted with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). However, the mechanism for alpha-fodrin degradation remains elusive. The following experiments utilized Par C5 cells to ... Read more...
