Calculus consists of mineralised dental biofilm on the surfaces of teeth and dental prosthesis, the location of which can be detected by using a periodontal or an electronic probe. Detection of subgingival calculus is critical for successful treatment outcome in the management of periodontal patients. The aim of this study was to detect subgingival calculus using manual and electronic probe and to...... hiện toàn bộ
The origin of many neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) lies in protein processing failures, which leads to protein aggregation and accumulation as amyloid fibrils. Abnormal accumulation and aggregation of beta amyloid peptide (Aβ) eventually lead to the formation and cerebral deposition of amyloid plaques, the major pathological hallmark in AD. Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 are the predo...... hiện toàn bộ
1) To determine there is a subnormal exercise performance in children with non-operated ventricular septal defect and operated tetralogy of fallot compared to normal controls and 2) To determine physical activity is an important factor for lower exercise performance in these conditions. Retrospective Study. The data were collected from the cardio pulmonary exercise testing and physical activity qu...... hiện toàn bộ

There have been only at least seven cases of isolated right ventricular non-compaction reported in literature, hence, there are no definite criteria for diagnosis and recommendations for management of these patients. The reported clinical manifestations include heart failure, arrhythmias and cardioembolic events. Left ventricular and biventricular non-compaction are likewise rare but more common t...... hiện toàn bộ
To know the importance of CAD/CAM in the fabrication of implant retained prosthesis framework Review of the studies showing the fit of the implant prosthesis framework fabricated by CAD/CAM Initially, CAD/CAM was used to fabricate implant components from titanium and titanium alloy. To date, CAD/CAM is the only way of producing implant components from high-strength ceramics such as densely sintere...... hiện toàn bộ
We report a case of calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor affecting maxilla in a 48 year old male patient presented with painless extensive intraoral swelling with unilocular radiolucency and marked resorption of roots on radiographs. Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) is rare developmental odontogenic pathology. The first description of lesion was given in 1962. Various terminologies and cl...... hiện toàn bộ

Surface texture of a dental material may cause nonaesthetic appearance, secondary caries and periodontal problem. Factors influencing surface roughness include the type of the material, its filler, and exposure to bacterial accumulation. The aim of this study was to investigate surface roughness of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and resin composite (CR). A total of 112 specimens consisting of Fuji II ...... hiện toàn bộ

Takayasu’s arteritis is a chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology affecting large vessels. Coronary involvement is rare and myocardial infarction as a presenting symptom has only been described in case reports. We report a case of a 19 year old female diagnosed with Takayasu’s arteritis 2 years prior who came in due to chest pain and heart failure symptoms. ECG showed diffuse ischemia with ST eleva...... hiện toàn bộ
One of the main obstacles to success of chemotherapy agents is the development of cancer resistance. Cancer multi-drug resistance (MDR) is thought to arise from over-expression of efflux transporters on cancer cells’ plasma membranes. Recently, microparticles (MP) were found to play a major role in mediating the resistance to antineoplastic agents. Microparticles can confer MDR phenotype to cancer...... hiện toàn bộ
Troponin, a contractile protein of the thin filament of striated muscle, consists of three subunits: troponin C (TnC), troponin T (TnT), and troponin I (TnI). Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) plays a critical role in regulation of cardiac function. The physiological effect of cTnI, as an inhibitory subunit of troponin complex, is to prevent the interaction between myosin heavy chain heads and actins, i.e...... hiện toàn bộ
