BACKGROUND Fentanyl buccal soluble film (FBSF) has been developed as a treatment of breakthrough pain in opioid-tolerant patients with cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of FBSF at doses of 200-1200 microg in the management of breakthrough pain in patients with cancer receiving ongoing opioid therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a multicenter, randomized, doubl...

Aim: To evaluate the effect of different cross infection control barriers on intensity curing light. Study Design: In-vitro experimental study. Place and duration: Department Operative Pediatric Dentistry, The University Lahore from January to March 2022. Methodology: light-curing unit was measured using a radiometer. light without any barrier taken as control. Four were used; polythene glove, ...

Recently the UHV arc technology was proposed as a possible alternative for depositing thin superconducting films of pure niobium on the inside surface of RF cavities for particle accelerators. The paper describes status of research on deposition of superconducting films for RF accelerating cavities. New UHV arc based devices with planar and cylindrical niobium cathodes are presented. The main r...

In an ensemble of identical atoms, cooperative effects like subor superradiance may alter the decay rates and the energy of specific transitions may be shifted from the single-atom value by the so-called collective Lamb shift. So far, one has considered these effects in ensembles of two-level systems only. In this work we show that in a system with atoms or nuclei under the action of an externa...

background and aims. parental acceptance and consent are important parameters in selecting the required behavior management technique during pediatric dental treatment. the present study sought to assess the effect of three different informing methods on the parental acceptance, consent and concern regarding the pharmacological and invasive behavior management techniques used in pediatric denti...

in recent decades, most of researchers in pharmaceutical preparations have focused increasingly on new formulations that control the site and amount of drug delivery. mucoadhesive dosage forms are available for systemic or local treatment. the mucoadhesive dosage forms are introduced in various forms such as tablets, gels, ointments, patches and polymeric films. for buccal wound and injury the ...

Digital dental radiographic imaging is considered to be as diagnostically accurate as conventional film-based radiography. In addition, many digital radiographic systems offer various image enhancements that may aid in image interpretation. However, neither type of radiographic imaging technique perfectly correlates radiographic diagnoses with clinical findings. Moreover, visual digital enhance...
