Prevalence and distribution of odontogenic cysts in Sicily: 1986-2005.

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of odontogenic cysts (OCs) in Sicily and evaluate their distribution during a 20-year period. A cross-sectional retrospective study was carried out in 1,310 cysts of the jaw diagnosed in 12,197 individuals, who consecutively attended the Odontostomatologic Clinic of Palermo from 1986 to 2005. 1,273 cysts were classified as odontogenic, wh...

Biol. Pharm. Bull. 28(10) 1986—1988 (2005)

drug research, we have been examining the use of chick embryos and found that they may be superior for predicting the effects of drugs. Recently, we reported those thyroid abnormal models in chick embryos treated with thiamazol showed a similar reaction to digoxin, as in human. From these experiments, we expected that it might be able to produce an experimental diabetes model by the developing ...

Trends in Global Tropical Cyclone Activity over the Past Twenty Years (1986-2005)

5) Two metrics were evaluated to determine trends over the past twenty years. The first metric is the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which is the maximum sustained wind speed squared at six-hour intervals. ACE represents an approximation of the kinetic energy generated by a tropical cyclone. ACE correlates globally at 0.97 with Emanuel’s PDI index which is the wind speed cubed at six-h...

Original Contribution Differential Associations of Job Control Components With Mortality: A Cohort Study, 1986–2005

Inconsistent evidence of the hypothesized favorable effects of high job control on health may have resulted from a failure to treat job control as a multifactor concept. The authors studied whether the 2 components of job control, decision authority and skill discretion, were differentially associated with cause-specific mortality in 13,510 Finnish forest company employees with no history of se...
