    Get PDF
    Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors of the jaws which are benign, slow growing and nonaggressive. They are usually asymptomatic and are diagnosed on routine radiological examination. The eruptions of odontomas are uncommon and very few cases are reported in the literature. Objective: To report two rare cases of erupted compound odontomas. Case report: Two cases of erupted compound odontomas are reported in middle aged patients. Erupted miniature teeth-like structure were seen on clinical examination. The condition was diagnosed on the basis of conventional intraoral radiographs and histopathological examination. Both cases were treated by surgical excision under local anaesthesia without any complications. Conclusion: Odontomas are benign tumors with uncertain etiology. Odontomas erupting in the oral cavity is an infrequent situation. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice in all such cases followed by histopathological examination to confirm the clinical diagnosis

    Entrepreneurial risk taking: themes from the literature and pointers for future research

    No full text
    PurposeGiven the critical mass of literature on entrepreneurial risk-taking, the purpose of this paper is to assess the contribution to the knowledge so far by exploring important themes in the literature on entrepreneurial risk-taking.Design/methodology/approachThe review is organized around four themes: nature of entrepreneurial risk-taking; antecedents of entrepreneurial risk-taking; context of entrepreneurial risk-taking; and outcomes of entrepreneurial risk-taking. The author critically evaluates the literature on each theme and presents the pointers for future research.FindingsLiterature does provide a holistic view encapsulating different dimensions of entrepreneurial risk-taking, but it has produced largely inconsistent findings in terms of risk and gender, risk propensity of entrepreneurs in comparison to non-entrepreneurs and the outcomes of entrepreneurial risk-taking. Organizational antecedents, non-financial measures and ethical- and health-related consequences of entrepreneurial risk are underexplored. Inconclusive literature also implies that the risk may not be a distinguishing or important factor for undertaking an entrepreneurial endeavor. Therefore, it is pertinent to explore the critical factors entrepreneurs consider (or not consider) while marshalling their resources to embark on an entrepreneurial journey. This posits the need to explore an entrepreneur’s informal approach toward risk-taking.Originality/valueSuggested pointers of future research will potentially enhance the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial risk-taking.</jats:sec

    Autor, primjenjujući metode kognitivne gramatike, raspravlja o trima rubnim tipovima izravnoga objekta u akuzativu u hrvatskom jeziku, od kojih dva svoj status zahvaljuju morfosintaktičkim posljedicama vidljivima iz nemogućnosti pasivizacije aktivnih rečenica kojih su dio, a treći se pojavljuje u jednom tipu obezličenih rečenica.Applying methods of cognitive grammar, the author discusses three peripheral types of accusative direct object in Croatian. The peripheral status of the first two types follows from the morphosyntactic peculiarity as manifested in the impossibility of passivizing the active clauses they are part of. The third type appears in one type of impersonal sentences

The author indicated that some local elites tend to manipulate the cultural identity for personal gain on behalf of the public interest

    Trimodal Rescue of Hind Limb Ischemia with Growth Factors, Cells and Nanocarriers: Fundamentals to Clinical Trials

    Get PDF
    Peripheral Artery Disease is a severe medical condition commonly characterized by critical or acute limb ischemia. Gradual accumulation of thrombotic plaques in peripheral arteries of the lower limb may lead to intermittent claudication or ischemia in muscle tissue. Ischemic muscle tissue with lesions may become infected, resulting in a non-healing wound. Stable progression of the non-healing wound associated with severe ischemia might lead to functional deterioration of the limb, which, depending on the severity, can result in amputation. Immediate rescue of ischemic muscles through revascularization strategies is considered the gold standard to treat critical limb ischemia. Growth factors offer multiple levels of protection in revascularization of ischemic tissue. In this review, the basic mechanism through which growth factors exert their beneficial properties to rescue the ischemic limb is extensively discussed. Moreover, clinical trials based on growth factor and stem cell therapy to treat critical limb ischemia are considered. The clinical utility of stem cell therapy for the treatment of limb ischemia is explained and recent advances in nanocarrier technology for selective growth factor and stem cell supplementation are summarized.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

    Zanes Prūses bakalaura darbs „ Latvijas ozolu mežaudžu augšņu cilmiežu ģeoloģiskā un ģeomorfoloģiskā interpretācija” tika veikts ar mērķi, lai noskaidrotu sakarības starp Latvijas ozolu audžu augšņu cilmiezi veidojošajiem nogulumiem, augšņu tipiem (izmantojot nacionālo augšņu klasifikācijas sistēmu) un augšņu tipu raksturīgākajām īpašībām. Pētījuma praktiskā daļa tika veikta Ģeogrāfijas un Zemes zinātņu augšņu laboratorijā, kur autore veica granulometrisko analīzi 104 augšņu ģenētiskajiem horizontiem, kas tikuši ievākti 24 parauglaukumos cita pētījumu ietvaros. Iegūtie rezultāti tika salīdzināti ar augšņu dziļrakumu fotoattēliem, dažādiem kartogrāfiskajiem materiāliem, noskaidrojot augšņu cilmieža ģenētisko tipu. Iegūtie dati tika savstarpēji salīdzināti un veikts ģeoloģisko un ģeomorfoloģisko procesu lomas interpretācija augšņu veidošanās procesā. Atslēgas vārdi: augsnes cilmiezis, granulometriskā analīze, ozolu mežaudzes, augsnes veidošanās faktoriBachelor thesis „Geological and geomorphological interpretation of oak forest soil parent material in Latvia” was made by Zane Pruse. The aim was to find out, is there any coincidences between oak forest soil parent material, soil types (according to national soil classification system) and main soil types characteristics. The practical part of research was made in soil laboratory of Faculty of Geography and Earth sciences, where author processed and analyzed samples from 24 sampling plots and determining the granulometric composition of 104 genetic soil horizonts in total, by using soil granulometric analysis. The gained data was compared with multiple cartographic materials and photos from field work, determining the genesis of soil parent material and furthermore interpretating the role of geological and gemorphical processes and their influence on soil forming processes.
