What are implants?
Implants have been around for many years and have gained wider and wider acceptance over time as they have proved a successful method for replacing missing teeth. They offer a way to have artificial teeth that look natural and feel secure.
The implant itself, often made of titanium, is used like an artificial root to support the false tooth or teeth. The dental surgeon, usually a periodontist (gum specialist) or an oral surgeon, places the implant into a hole made in the jawbone. A post can then be secured to this “artificial root” and can be used to secure a prosthetic device, such as a crown or bridge, above the gum. Implants can also be used in conjunction with a removable denture to create a more secure and stable base for the denture.
Why implants?
Implants have some advantages over removable dentures. Because removable dentures are not permanently fixed in place, they can move around when you eat and speak. Additionally, over time the bone that supports the denture changes and shrinks, making it increasingly difficult to support a denture comfortably. Read the rest of this entry »

U.S. military doctors were complicit in the torture suffered by Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison and systematically ignored professional ethics, as reported yesterday by the British journal The Lancet.
The publication includes an article prepared by Dr. Steven Miles American, which claims that this attitude has been the norm of military medical service in Afghanistan, Iraq and the prison of Guantanamo Bay.
“Government documents show that military medical system failed to protect the U.S. human rights of detainees, sometimes collaborated with interrogations and practiced with the guards who committed abuses, and no reported injuries or deaths caused by beatings” he says. Miles, a professor at the University of Minnesota, believes that there was a “widespread failure” in meeting the duty to respect the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war and that this had “an adverse effect” on the situation of prisoners.

Dozens of military doctors, more than 100, although Defence refuses to provide a figure-have been directed in recent weeks a letter to the secretary of the department, Maria Victoria San José, which call for clemency for the three officers of Health that were convicted of the false identification of 30 of the 62 victims of the crash of Yak-42. The signatories claim that “careers [the three men] have performed with strict adherence to hierarchy, command and military discipline.”
General Vicente Navarro was sentenced to three years and commanders Jose Ramon Ramirez and Miguel Angel Saiz, 18 months, although all have been asked to suspend his imprisonment. The last two lost their military career.

Around the new Abortion Act, sorry for Sexual and Reproductive Health, there are a lot of questions that are unanswered. For example, I read in Alba military doctors, through the independent group known as THE MILITARY FOR DEMOCRACY, established in 1994, claiming their right to conscientious objection. As fiercely military would obey their superior officers in this case as in others, yet they say they can not go against their moral convictions are declared “war” against abortion with these strong words:
“The staff of the Military Medical Corps is protected against impositions, such as performing abortions or dispense biocidal preparations and devices for destruction of human beings conceived in the womb.” Read the rest of this entry »
