The aim of this study was to test whether bone could be formed in peri-implant defects at immediate transmucosal implants using guided bone regeneration. Ten patients (median age 48 years) underwent comprehensive dental care including the placement of an implant into an extraction socket immediately following removal of a tooth. An expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane and the mucoperiostea...

In a double-blinded, randomized, clinical trial lasting two weeks in 20 patients with skin infections (Eczema, Dermatitis, and pruritus), inflammatory and Pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses Pruritus, Eczema and Atopic Dermatitis were treated and compared between 1% w/w hydrocortisone cream and reference 1% w/w cutisoft hydrocortisone acetate cream and reductions of ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained by Goldmann tonometry (GT), the Tonopen XL, and a new transpalpebral tonometer, TGDc-01, in eyes that had undergone penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). METHODS IOP was measured in post-PKP eyes by means of GT, Tonopen XL, and TGDc-01. Central corneal thickness measurements were also obtained for all eyes...

background: some health-protecting secondary metabolites can be found at a higher concentration in the sprouts compared to other stages of plant growth. in addition, environmental stresses such as salt stress may be resulting in the increase or decrease of specific secondary metabolites in sprouts and plants. objective: evaluation the changes of trigonelline, nicotinic acid, and proline content...

Reduced clearance of insulin from plasma contributes to the hyperinsulinemia associated with essential hypertension (EH); however, the association between impaired insulin clearance and EH remains unexplained. Whether elevated blood pressure (BP) affects insulin clearance is unknown; therefore, we used the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp to determine the effects of BP elevation on insulin cle...
