OBJECTIVE To compare intraoperative efficiency and postoperative recovery between cold dissection adenotonsillectomy (CDA) and coblation-assisted adenotonsillectomy (CAA). METHODS A prospective, randomized, single-blind trial of pediatric patients aged 2 to 16 years undergoing adenotonsillectomy was conducted. Patients were randomized to undergo either CDA or CAA. Measured intraoperative para...

The formation of oxidative lesions arising from double stranded DNA damage is of major significance to chemical biology from the perspective of application to human health. The quantification of purine lesions arising from γ-radiation-induced hydroxyl radicals (HO(•)) has been the subject of numerous studies, with discrepancies on the measured 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (cdA) and 5',8-cyclo-2...

Periradicular lesions are diseases either primarily or secondarily caused by microorganisms and therefore they must be prevented or treated accordingly. If the professional is well-versed in both preventing and eliminating the root canal infection, the success rate of endodontic therapy may exceed 90 percent. The present paper discusses theoretical and practical aspects of effective antimicrobi...

The Health Level 7 Clinic Document Architecture (CDA) is an XML-based document markup standard that specifies the hierarchical structure and semantics of “clinical documents” for the purpose of information exchange. In this research, issues arising with the design and implementation of a DB to support efficient retrieval from CDA documents and data mining for statistical analysis purposes are e...

Abstract Background The newly derived simplified magnetic resonance index of activity (MARIAs) has not been verified in comparison with balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) for patients small-bowel Crohn’s disease (CD). We studied the correlation MARIAs simple endoscopic score Crohn's (SES-CD) ileum based on enterography (MRE) and BAE, respectively, CD. In addition, we determined impact these too...

We have recently described reduced superficial nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) in chloride-depletion alkalosis (CDA) without volume depletion. To elucidate the mechanism of this phenomenon, we studied three degrees of increasing severity of CDA (groups CDA-1, 2, and 3) produced by one or two peritoneal dialyses against 0.15 M NaHCO3 and electrolyte infusions of different Cl and HCO3 ...
