the early computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (cad/cam) systems were relied exclusively on subtractive methods. in recent years, additive methods by employing rapid prototyping (rp) have progressed rapidly in various fields of dentistry as they have the potential to overcome known drawbacks of subtractive techniques such as fit problems. rp techniques have been exploited to build...

BACKGROUND No consensus exists on how to define abnormally rapid deterioration in renal function (Rapid Progression, RP). We developed an operational definition of RP in HIV-positive persons with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >90 ml/min/1.73 m2 (using Cockcroft Gault) in the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) study from 2004 to 2011. METHODS Two...

conclusions: The definition does not necessarily identify all those that progress to incident CKD, however, it can be used alongside other renal measurements to early identify and assess those at risk of developing CKD. Conclusions: Despite the weak association between our RP definition and subsequent development of CKD, perhaps due to the limited follow-up available, other studies have shown t...

losartan potassium, valsartan , telmisartan and irbesartan are angiotensin-ii-receptor antagonists (ara ii) group which used in treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other drugs mainly hydrochlorothiazide. rp- hplc method was developed for the assay of three angiotensin-ii-receptor antagonists (ara-iis) in presence of hydrochlorothiazide. the method was performed by reversed ph...

There are no readily applicable methods to routinely assess thrombosis risk and treatment response in thrombocytosis. Reticulated platelets (RP) define the most recently released platelets in the circulation, and the RP% has been shown to estimate platelet turnover in thrombocytopenic states. We examined whether increased RP values were associated with thrombotic complications in thrombocytosis...
