Shinhiti Morita, Flávio Morita, José María Pereira de Godoy
Abstract
The objective of this report is to propose a classification of endoscopic changes for chagasic megaesophagus based on macroscopic findings. Thirty patients with advanced megaesophagus surgically treated using the Doria Serra technique (1968)3 were enrolled in this quasi-randomized study. All participants were treated in the Surgical Departme...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Animal teeth are a common model in studies on dentin adhesive materials. The aim of this study was to compare microstructural parameters (density and diameter of dentinal tubules (DT), peritubular dentin (PTD) thickness, PTD and intertubular dentin (ITD) surface area) and chemical characteristics of canine, porcine, equine, and human root de...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Bone scintigraphy, although quite sensitive to detect skeletal lesions, has a comparatively low specificity. Hybrid-cameras combining single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and spiral-CT offer the opportunity to correlate scintigraphic information with high-quality visualization of morphology in one session. This may lead to an i...... hiện toàn bộ
