Article Abstract

Perivascular fibrosis is technically one of the most challenging issue to manage during thoracoscopic lobectomy and it is associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic injury. Here we report a case of thoracoscopic right lower lobectomy performed with individual dissection of segmental arteries due to dense adventitial fibrosis around the right lower lobe pulmonary artery. This approach may be considered as an alternative to the so-called "en masse" lobectomy and a way to avoid conversion to thoracotomy.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical effects of en-masse versus alternate retraction during aligner treatment in premolar-extraction cases.

Methods: Four finite element analysis models of maxillary first premolar extraction were created: Group I (en-masse retraction), Group II (canine distalization), Group III (incisor retraction) and Group IV (alternate retraction). Various aligner torque compensations (0°, 1°, 2°, 3°) were applied on the anterior teeth.

» Delaminated rotator cuff tears (DRCTs) represent a unique type of tear characterized by horizontal splits within the supraspinatus tendon, occurring in both partial-thickness and full-thickness tears, with or without retraction of the bursal or articular surfaces.» The pathogenesis of DRCTs lies in the anatomical layered architecture of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons and the interlayer shear stress disparities. Furthermore, during shoulder abduction, hypovascular-driven degeneration and biomechanical strain gradients also contribute to this layered pathogenesis.

Genetic engineering research has predominantly focused on well-characterised organisms like Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, with methods that often fail to translate to other microorganisms. This limitation presents a significant challenge, particularly given the increasing isolation of large microbial collections through high-throughput culturomics. In response, we developed a scalable, high-throughput pipeline to evaluate the engineerability of diverse microbial community members we named VECTOR (Versatile Engineering and Characterisation of Transferable Origins and Resistance).

Objective: To evaluate external apical root resorption (EARR) and periodontal indices during en-masse retraction of maxillary anterior teeth stimulated with low-intensity electrical currents.

Trial Design: A two-arm randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Young adult patients who visited the Department of Orthodontics at Damascus University between November 2023 and March 2024 and met predefined inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups using block randomization.

Objective: This study aimed to analyse the three-dimensional forces acting on maxillary teeth with aligners activation of en-masse retraction based on the different attachment positions in vitro.

Methods: Three groups were designed for the same 0.25 mm en-masse retraction forces with three different attachment positions.
