Do transmural peak systolic strain and strain rate predict transmural myocardial blood flow in a pig myocardial infarction model?
Strain and strain rate imaging provides a reliable approach to the noninvasive estimation of the transmural blood distribution across the normal, ischemic and infarct segments.
This survey confirms that implant dentistry is part of the undergraduate curriculum, albeit with a disparity in time. Whereas implant dentistry is an important part of clinical practice, coverage in the curriculum is limited and when compared with 10 years ago, even stagnating. Priorities within the curriculum should be evaluated depending on demands and treatment needs of the population. To optimise education, learning guidelines should be developed, based on the expected competencies for practicing dentists. Undergraduate education may start the process that must continue through all levels of education, including the postgraduate level.
