aim and background: enuresis is known as one of the most common disorders in childhood. snoring at night and obstructive sleep apnea have been considered as probable causes, at least in some cases. thus, the importance of a breathing exercise to reduce bedwetting in children with nocturnal snoring should be noted. method and materials: this study is an experimental survey with control group. th...

context studies show that despite the role of mouth care in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia, there is no high quality evidences for it. this study reviewed the literature related to mouth care in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. evidence acquisition pubmed, ovide, elsevier, proquest, iranmedex, sid, and magiran databases were searched using key terms such as oral care, mout...

Aim of the study. To determine the role of bacteria on the dorsal surface of the tongue in periodontal disease. Material and methods. Fifthytwo patients aged 18 to 25 were enrolled in the study; the subjects had to complete a questionnaire on general health, diet and dental hygiene habits. Decay-missingfilled teeth index (DMFT), the periodontal screening index (PSI), bleeding on probing (BOP) a...

Large quantities of fluid administered through an intestinal tube caused alterations in small bowel bacteriology in four of seven subjects. In two normal individuals, colonic bacteria were found after fluid infusion in areas of the small bowel which previously had none. The faecal microflora was also altered by the fluid purge: anaerobes were reduced in some subjects and large numbers of Entero...

The human intestinal microflora is a complex microbial ecosystem that plays a critical role in the overall health of an individual. This issue will examine the benefits of the “friendly bacteria” that colonize the gastrointestinal tract, various factors that can disturb the normal GI environment, and the wide variety of health problems that can develop when the intestinal microflora is upset. A...

We compared the rectal microflora of 16 patients with surgically excluded colorectum with 16 healthy controls. The cause of diversion was inflammatory bowel disease (n = 10), colon cancer (n = 3), miscellaneous (n = 3). Six patients had a diversion colitis. In the excluded colorectum, the total bacterial count was only slightly lower than controls but the variety of the flora was significantly ...

The influence of supragingival plaque control on the subgingival microflora and clinical parameters of ligature-induced periodontitis in the Cynomolgus monkey was investigated. No clinical changes were observed during the six-week experimental period. The total cultivable flora and the proportions of total black-pigmented Bacteroides (BPB) and asaccharolytic black-pigmented Bacteroides decrease...

Dehydrodivanillin (DDV; 0.15 g/liter) was biodegradable at 37 degrees C under strictly anaerobic conditions by microflora from cow rumen fluid to the extent of 25% within 2 days in a yeast extract medium. The anaerobes were acclimated on DDV for 2 weeks, leading to DDV-degrading microflora with rates of degradation eight times higher than those initially. Dehydrodivanillic acid and vanillic aci...

Success of root canal therapy depends on the complete eradication of microflora from the root canal system. A great deal of research is needed to identify and define the role of the pathogens which are involved in the pathogenesis of the periradicular diseases. This will help the endodontist to plan the best treatment by irradiation of pathogens which, in turn predict the outcome of the treatme...
