introduction: intrinsic tooth discolorations after endodontic treatment are principally attributed to the composition of necrotic pulp tissue, hemorrhage within the pulp cavity, endodontic medicaments and/or filling materials. residual sealer left in pulp chamber after obturation can cause discoloration. the objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate coronal discoloration created by ah26 ...

Under continual exposure to naturally occurring plant toxins and synthetic insecticides, insects have evolved cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) capable of metabolizing a wide range of structurally different compounds. Two such P450s, CYP6B8 and CYP321A1, expressed in Helicoverpa zea (a lepidopteran) in response to plant allelochemicals and plant signaling molecules metabolize these compoun...

Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is an innovative approach in which a flexible endoscope enters the abdominal cavity via the transesophageal, transgastric, transcolonic, transvaginal or transvescical route, combining the technique of minimally invasive surgery with flexible endoscopy. Several groups have described different modifications by using flexible endoscopes with ...

Internal cavities in proteins produce conformational fluctuations and enable the binding of small ligands. Here, we report a NMR analysis of O2-binding sites by O2-induced paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) on amide groups of proteins in solution. Outer surface protein A contains a nonglobular single-layer β-sheet that connects the N- and C-terminal globular domains. Several cavities h...

there are significant structural differences between the mouth and pharyngeal cavity of birds and mammals. it is usual to refer to a common oropharyngeal cavity of birds because the soft palate, which forms such an obvious delineation between the mouth and pharyngeal cavity, is absent. six male adult ostriches were used to study the oropharyngeal cavity and its components including the beak, ha...

background: mullerian disorders are present in 5-25% of infertile women. myoma, polyp and endometrial adhesions are among other involved factors in infertility. objective: the aim of this study was to determine the frequency distribution of pregnancy occurrence in infertile women after the diagnostic-surgical hysteroscopy on selected infertile cases including those with abnormal uterine. materi...

We theoretically derive and experimentally compare several different ways to access entropy production in a quantum process under feedback control. focus on bipartite system realizing an autonomous Maxwell's demon scheme reported by Najera-Santos et al. [Phys.~Rev.~Research 2, 032025(R) (2020)], where information encoded is consumed transfer heat from cold qubit hot cavity. By measuring individ...

The peritoneal catheter is the CAPD patient's lifeline. Advances in catheter knowledge have made it possible to access the peritoneal cavity safely and maintain access over an extended period of time. Infection at the exit site remains a major problem, a solution for which is being extensively researched. The successful outcome of a catheter in an individual depends on meticulous care and adher...

objective: various techniques of composite placement have been used to decrease microleakage around the composite restorations. due to controversial results, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different placement techniques on microleakage in class v composite restorations. materials and methods: sixty class v cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces o...
