The response of pregnant gilts previously given an inactivated preparation of porcine parvovirus (PPV) to challenge infection with a fully virulent PPV.

Eight 40-day pregnant gilts, previously treated with an adjuvanted-inactivated viral preparation (AIVP) obtained with a field strain of porcine parvovirus (PPV) together with 4 pregnant untreated controls, were subjected to challenge infection with a virulent strain of PPV at the 40th day of gestation. After challenge, all controls became febrile for 2 to 8 days, whereas only one gilt among those which had been treated with the AIVP experienced fever which lasted 4 days. Virus was consistently recovered from fecal swabs obtained from the controls and only sporadically from feces of AIVP-treated gilts. When the gilts were killed 53 days after challenge infection, no macroscopic lesions were found in any of the gilts in either groups, but fetal death was observed in the two groups of animals. However, the rate of dead fetuses was much higher among the control (70.5%) than among those from the AIVP-treated gilts (10.1%). Virus was recovered from 23 of the 24 dead fetuses in the control group and only from 3 among the 8 dead fetuses which were reported for the AIVP-treated gilts.

[Isotopy and multicorticality: two fundamental principles].

Starting out from Oral Implantology pioneers, the Author comes down to the present situation, in an effort to show which values should be considered as the true ones. "Nothing new under the skies" is the Author's comment, when he examines all the techniques and materials presented as "new" for commercial purposes, whereas they are not new at all. To prove his statements he goes back to the work of some implantology pioneers, such as Formiggini, Perron Andrès, Cherchève, Strock, Pasqualini, Muratori, Tramonte, Linkow and others. In going over their most remarkable techniques, he maintains that what is being proposed nowadays as brand new was actually done long ago. Only names are now different: the process now called fibrous osseointegration used to be named osteofibrosis, and what is now called osseointegration was known as complete ossification. In order to remove the great confusion now prevailing in the dozens of implant systems, as well as in implant philosophy itself, the Author maintains that good implantologists should follow two fundamental principles: 1) implants should be built in a great variety of sizes, in order to take full advantage of cortical bones. They should be multicortical, generally quadricortical, since they should rest on the sinus floor cortical bone, on the alveolar ridge, the palatal and the buccal cortical bones (this is true for the elements implanted in the upper arch and in the front-mesial arch).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Alveolar Process

Gimlet implant system and intra-oral welding.

An experienced implantologist introduces a new, flexible, and versatile endosteal implant system. Requiring only a single bur, the implant may be used immediately or permitted to osteointegrate. Since intra-oral welding techniques may be used, parallelism of implants is not a requisite for the successful completion of mesiostructure double-railed bars. A variety of prosthetic techniques may be incorporated into the Gimlet system, and the implants themselves can be used in a number of locations and employed for multiple purposes.
