Both animals and humans show a tendency toward eating more "comfort food" (high fat, sweet food) after acute stress. Such stress eating may be contributing to the obesity epidemic, and it is important to understand the underlying psychobiological mechanisms. Prior investigations have studied what makes individuals eat more after stress; this study investigates what might make individuals eat le...

introduction: application of light transmitting posts to restore greatly damaged endodontically treated teeth has been increased. it is suspected that light intensity decreases as it passes throughout different materials. this can reduce the degree of conversion required for adequate bond strength throughout the length of these posts. the objective of this study was to evaluate the amount of li...

General: This study was designed to examine the effects of a 21-day Daniel Fast on markers of oxidative stress and endothelial function following ingestion of a high-fat milkshake. The study effectively controlled for compliance, recent exercise, and other extraneous variables that could have erroneously affected the outcome measures. The primary finding stated was that such a diet can improve ...

statement of problem: currently there are three recognized theories about the diameter of prepared dowel space in endodontically treated teeth. diameter of the dowel is commonly contributed to the root fracture. purpose: this study used a 3 dimensional (3d) finite element method to predict stress distribution in endodontically treated central maxillary tooth with cast post and core with various...
