Abstract Introduction Vestibulodynia (VBD) is a common cause of sexual pain that affects ~14 million women in the United States. Many different therapies are used on trial-and-error basis which can delay effective care. Two distinct VBD subtypes may benefit from types treatment: 1) peripheral (VBD-p) - localized to vulvar vestibule and 2) central (VBD-c) >1 chronic overlapping condition(...

Wound healing is a natural reaction to injury witch results in restoration of tissue integrity. Repair consists of four phases: inflammation, re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, fibroblast recruitment and scarring. In this study the healig effect of Hypericum perforatum extract was investigated on open wound. Hydroalcoholic extract of Hypericum P. was prepared by maceration method. Newzeland ra...

The aim of this paper is to propose Particles Swarm Optimization (PSO) to calculate the reliability index of a given structure. First of all, the basic modeling of time independent structure reliability is presented, and is followed by the optimization prob lem formulation to assess reliability index with PS O to overcome the difficulties of classical method to do a global search. Two applicati...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of light source, LED unit and halogen lamp (HL), on the effectiveness of Enforce dual-cured cement cured under a ceramic disc. Three exposure times (60, 80 and 120 s) were also evaluated. Two experimental groups, in which the polymerization of the dual-cured cement was performed through a ceramic disc, and two control groups, in which the p...
