Endodontic emergencies are associated with pain and swelling which requires immediate diagnosis and treatment. The main causative factors for these emergencies are pulp and peri-radicular pathosis, traumatic injuries, procedural complications; were sodium hypochlorite accidents can occur. The impetus behind a successful root canal treatment relies on a thorough debridement of tissue remnants, b...

Optimising cell/tissue constructs so that they can be successfully accepted and integrated within a host body is essential in modern tissue engineering. To do this, adult stem cells are frequently utilised, but there are many aspects of their environment in vivo that are not completely understood. There is evidence to suggest that circadian rhythms and daily circadian temporal cues have substan...

Abstract The characteristics of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) depend on many factors such as the raw material, type and intensity pre-treatment, severity mechanical defibrillation process. relationship among is complex but crucial in determining final, fit-for-use CNF properties. This study aims to find between properties morphology, aspect ratio, nanofibrillation yield, transmittance cationic de...

Copoazú is a fruit originated from Colombian Amazon belonging to Theobroma genus, which includes species such as cacao raw material for chocolate. Both presented similar processing stages, with different process parameters due the physical qualities of each fruit. Enzymatic, mechanical, and combined methods pulping copoazú seeds their effect on biochemical dynamics fermentation were evaluated. ...

Normally, pain is felt when signals generated by noxious stimuli in thinly myelinated Ador unmyelinated C-nociceptive afferents reach a conscious brain. We propose that the intrinsic innervation of teeth may be a unique exception. Teeth are densely innervated by primary sensory neurons located in the trigeminal ganglion (TRG). There are many Adand C-fibers in the tooth pulp, with the Ad axons e...

BACKGROUND Advances in the art and science of endodontics have facilitated better understanding of disease processes and have led to development of treatment modalities aimed to restore health to the pulp and periradicular tissues. This article presents a summary of both basic and clinical breakthroughs in endodontics. RESULTS The author indicates that, on the basis of the reviewed literature...

This paper analyzes trends and possible future developments in global wood-product markets and discusses implications for the Swedish forest sector. Four possible futures, or scenarios, are considered, based on qualitative scenario analysis. The scenarios are distinguished principally by divergent futures with respect to two highly influential factors driving change in global wood-product marke...

Two woody legumes species (Chamaecytisus proliferus L.F. ssp. palmensis and Leucaena diversifolia) were evaluated for integrally exploitation. The raw material was subjected to autohydrolysis under variable operating conditions which provided a liquid phase rich in hemicellulose oligomers and a solid phase that was used to obtain cellulose pulp and paper sheets by using organosolv procedures. T...

Steam explosion has been proposed for a wide range of lignocellulosic applications, including fractionation of biomass, pre-treatment of biomass for ethanol production, or as an alternative to conventional mechanical pulping. Nevertheless, a steam explosion process could also be used as pretreatment before chemical pulping, expecting a reduction in cooking time due to the open structure of the ...

Utilization of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) for large-scale applications is restricted by low productivity in static cultures and by the high cost of the medium. Fiber sludge, a waste stream from pulp and paper mills, was enzymatically hydrolyzed to sugar, which was used for the production of BNC by the submerged cultivation of Komagataeibacter xylinus. Compared with a synthetic glucose-based ...
