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 ...

patients with lymphoproliferative disorders have cellular immune deficiency and are susceptible to typical and atypical mycobacterial infections.hairy cell leukemia is a b-cell type lymphoproliferative disorder.2-cda is the choice of treatment for patients with hairy cell leukemia. it is a synthetic antineoplastic agent with immunosuppressive effects.we present development of pulmonary and meni...

This study investigated the impact of using cow dung ash (CDA) as a partial replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in mortar. Mortar mixes are prepared by replacing OPC with CDA at varying levels: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%. The chemical composition shows that it is composed primarily SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, significant amount loss ignition. workability, hardened properties, microstruc...

BACKGROUND We observed that paclitaxel altered the pharmacokinetic properties of gemcitabine in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and limited the accumulation of gemcitabine and its metabolites in various primary and immortalized human cells. Therefore, we classified the drug-drug interaction and the effects of paclitaxel on deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) and cytidine deaminase (CDA)...

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS SCHOOL OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy by Perukrishnen Vytelingum The last decade has seen a shift in emphasis from centralised to decentralised systems to meet the demanding coordination requirements of today’s complex computer systems. In such systems, the aim is to achieve effective decentralised control through autonom...

We have previously reported that bryostation 1 (Bryo 1) induces differentiation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in vitro to a hairy cell (HC) stage. This study tests the hypothesis that Bryo 1-differentiated CLL cells are more susceptible to 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA) than parent CLL cells. A recently established EBV-negative CLL line (WSU-CLL) from a patient resistant to chemotherapy...
