Introduction Recurrent or secondary caries develops at the margin of restorations and causes restorative failure. We conducted this study to compare the performance of Phosphor Storage Plate (PSP) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan in detecting buccal recurrent caries under amalgam and composite resin restorations. Materials and Methods Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal...

We discuss the rainbow Ramsey theorems at limit cardinals and successors of singular cardinals, addressing some questions by Uri Abraham, James Cummings, Clifford Smyth [J. Symbolic Logic 72 (2007), pp. 865–895] Abraham Cummings [Cent. Eur. J. Math. 10 (2012), 1004–1016]. In particular, we show for inaccessible <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1...

In this paper, we study the probability distribution of observable $s = (1/N)\sum_{i=N-N'+1}^N x_i$, with $1 \leq N' N$ and $x_1<x_2<\cdots< x_N$ representing ordered positions $N$ particles in a $1d$ one-component plasma, i.e., harmonically confined charges on line, pairwise repulsive Coulomb interaction $|x_i-x_j|$. This represents an example truncated linear statistics -- here center mass $N...

In this study, we characterized the molecular events involved in the activation of the ubiquitous transcription factor NF-kappa B by the viral transactivator pX. pX expression in HeLa cells determines a manyfold increase in NF-kappa B-dependent transcription, which is associated with an increase in p50/p65 heterodimer DNA-binding activity. Since the I kappa B-alpha inhibitory subunit proteolyti...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess inter-observer variability between the original diagnostic reports and later review by a specialist in breast pathology considering lobular neoplasias (LN), columnar cell lesions (CCL), atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. METHODS A retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted. A total ...

We report here that human monocytic/macrophage THP-1 cells express the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK-1R), and that exposure of these cells to the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1 beta increased the expression of the NK-1R gene at the mRNA and protein levels. Because IL-1 beta function involves nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) activation, these data suggest that this increase in the expression of th...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a novel pelvic model and determine the accuracy and the inter- and intraexaminer reliability of anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) positional asymmetry assessment from both sides of the model by osteopathic predoctoral fellows and osteopathic physicians and to evaluate the effect of training. METHODS Five osteopathic predoctoral fellows and...

Malocclusion assessment methods are based on registrations and measurements made on study casts, which requires that impressions be taken. In addition to being costly and time-consuming, this process can be unpleasant for very young children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of intra-oral measurements that compute a malocclusion index score to determine malocclus...
