Additive prognostic impact of the cerebrospinal fluid arginine/ornithine ratio to established clinical scores in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
(2023-04-14)
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metabolites are increasingly recognized as prognostic
factors in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The CSF arginine/
ornithine ratio (Arg/Orn) was shown to predict cerebral vasospasms ...
Misfit of Complete Maxillary Dentures’ Posterior Palatal Seal following Polymerisation with Four Different Autopolymerising Resins: An In Vitro Study
(2022-07-30)
Background: The majority of complete dentures are still conventionally manufactured using a flask-and-pack technique. However, the polymerization process may introduce a distortion of the denture body. The aim of this study ...
