Embolization of hydrophilic catheter coating to the lungs: report of a case mimicking granulomatous vasculitis.

30 Oct 2009 Hydrophilic coatings are used on intravascular devices to facilitate ease of manipulation and to minimize complications such as thrombosis during a procedure and vasospasm after a procedure. We report a case of embolization of hydrophilic coating of ... Read more...

Multivalent display of quinic acid based ligands for targeting E-selectin expressing cells.

6 Oct 2009 The site-specific expression of molecular markers on endothelial cells of blood vessels during inflammatory response and angiogenesis provides an opportunity to target drugs and imaging molecules to the vascular endothelium of diseased tissues. This ... Read more...

Influence of luting material filler content on post cementation.

29 Sep 2009 Luting of fiber posts to intra-radicular dentin represents the worst-case scenario in terms of control of polymerization shrinkage. This study tested the hypothesis that filler content of resin cements does not influence luting of fiber posts to ... Read more...
