This study analyzed the antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in association with endodontic treatment. Twenty patients were selected. Microbiological samples were taken after accessing the canal, endodontic therapy, and PDT. At the end of the first session, the root canal was filled with Ca(OH)(2), and after 1 week, a second session of the therapies was performed. Endodontic thera...

background: the classical supportive therapy for î² -thalassemia major consists of regular blood transfusion, iron-chelation therapy and specific treatment of the related complications. a balance between the maintenance of the highest possible level of haemoglobin and lowest possible level of iron accumulation in heart and liver give the best chance of survival and the best quality of life. met...

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a serious public health threat and leading cause of healthcare-associated infections. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics recommended for the treatment enterococcal infections complicates management these Hence, there is critical need discovery new anti-VRE agents. We previously reported carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) as potent VRE inhibitors. In...

Comparator circuit model was originally introduced in [5] (and further studied in [2]) to capture problems which are not known to be P-complete but still not known to admit efficient parallel algorithms. The class CC is the complexity class of problems many-one logspace reducible to the Comparator Circuit Value Problem and we know that NLOG ⊆ CC ⊆ P. Cook et al [2] showed that CC is also the cl...
