introduction the frequency of pediatric and adolescent oral and maxillofacial lesions is various in different societies. the present study aimed at investigating the frequency of oral and maxillofacial pediatric and adolescent biopsies in zahedan (southeast iran), and compare the results with other epidemiologic studies.methods and materials this retrospective study reviewed oral and maxillofac...

The survival of pooled plaque bacteria and a mixed suspension of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus mitis, and Streptococcus saliuarius were tested in three transport media. A new, non-nutritive, reduced transport fluid, RTF, was compared with VMG II and SBL, two recognized transport media. Specimens were stored in several vials of each medium and held at either 10°C or ...

Four healthy males exercised in two experiments at ambient temperatures of 22, 29, and 36 degrees C with the relative humidity at 30% in all environments (Tdp = 3.9, 9.9, and 15.8 degrees C). One experiment in each environment was done 150 min after 30 mg oral pyridostigmine bromide (PYR) administration, and the second experiment was done on a separate day with no medication (CON). Red blood ce...

Abstract Objective Fever and neutropenia are a common complication of chemotherapy in cancer. It is usually managed by hospitalization and empiric administration of antibiotics. Use of Fluroquinolones is limited because of joint/cartilage toxicity. This study attempted to compare the efficacy of oral ciprofloxacin with intravenous ceftazidim in low risk febrile neutropenic lymphocytic leukemi...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effect of temperature on fluoride uptake by enamel specimens from a 0.05% NaF-fluoridated mouthrinse (Oral-B Advantage; Oral-B Laboratories, Newbridge, UK). METHODS Enamel specimens were prepared from extracted human maxillary central incisors. A fluoride-specific ion electrode was used to measure the uptake from a 2 ppm fluoride solution con...

background and aims. increasing the temperature of sodium hypochlorite (naocl) enhances its dissolution and antibacterial properties. however, the high resistance of multi-species biofilms could restrict the effect of the solution regardless of its temperature, enabling the long-term recovery of the surviving bacteria. the aim of this study was to investigate if the increase of temperature of n...

background and aim: oral mucosal lesions have various prevalence rates among different populations. few studies have evaluated the frequency of oral mucosal lesions in iranian population. this study aimed to determine the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and the related factors.                        materials and methods: this descriptive study was conducted based on the data in the archives...

PURPOSE This study sought to determine the effect of rapid intravenous (IV) versus oral (ORAL) rehydration immediately after dehydration, on cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, and perceptual responses during subsequent exercise in the heat. METHODS Eight males (21.4 +/- 0.7 yr; 176.2 +/- 1.6 cm; 75.2 +/- 3.7 kg; 63.7 +/- 3.6 mL.kg.min VO2max, 9.0 +/- 1.7% fat) participated in three randomized ...
