Em 2005, a Organização Mundial de Saúde revisou e atualizou a classificação dos tumores odontogênicos, e algumas terminologias foram modificadas. Devido à sua natureza neoplásica, o ceratocisto odontogênico, anteriormente classificado como um cisto, teve seu nome alterado para tumor odontogênico ceratocístico (TOC). A prevalência de TOC no seio maxilar é de apenas 1%.1 O TOC possui taxa elevada...

[1] Large spatial and temporal variations in stream total organic carbon (TOC) concentration and export occurred during an 11-year observation period (1993–2003) in a boreal headwater catchment. TOC flux and concentration patterns from mireand forestdominated subcatchments differed (mean annual flux 8.2 g m 2 a 1 versus 5.8 g m 2 a ). Temporal variations in stream TOC concentrations in both lan...

Chloroplast biogenesis often requires a tight orchestration between gene expression (both plastidial and nuclear) and translocation of ~3000 nuclear-encoded proteins into the organelle. Protein translocation is achieved via two multimeric import machineries at the outer (TOC) and inner (TIC) envelope of chloroplast, respectively. Three components constitute the core element of the TOC complex: ...

The abutment(s) of a partial fixed dental prosthesis (PFDP) should have a minimal total occlusal convergence (TOC), also called a taper, in order to ensure adequate retention of a PFDP that will be made for the abutment(s), given the height of the abutment(s). This article reviews the concept of PFDP abutment TOC and presents an alternative definition of what TOC is, defining it as the extent t...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the theory of constraints (TOC) can serve as a general theory in operations management. The paper first investigate linkages between TOC and the core concepts/components of operations management (OM) and show how OM concepts can be integrated with TOC using examples from the published TOC literature. A second important purpose is to show th...

OBJECTIVE In-111 ((111)In)-labeled octreotide has been clinically used for imaging somatostatin receptor-positive tumors, and radiolabeled octreotide analogs for positron emission tomography (PET) have been developed. Cu-64 ((64)Cu; half-life, 12.7 h) is an attractive radionuclide for PET imaging and is produced with high specific activity using a small biomedical cyclotron. The aim of this stu...

The bioavailability of total organic carbon (TOC) was examined in ground water from two hydrologically distinct aquifers using biochemical indicators widely employed in chemical oceanography. Concentrations of total hydrolyzable neutral sugars (THNS), total hydrolyzable amino acids (THAA), and carbon-normalized percentages of TOC present as THNS and THAA (referred to as "yields") were assessed ...

BACKGROUND Residents are expected to have transition of care (ToC) skills upon entering graduate medical education. It is unclear whether experience and training during medical school is adequate. OBJECTIVE The aim of the project was to assess: 1) graduating medical students' ability to perform ToC in a crisis situation, and 2) whether using a cognitive aid improves the ToC quality. METHODS...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess physicians' perceptions on a newly developed electronic transfer of care (e-TOC) communication tool and identify barriers and opportunities toward its adoption. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS The study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching center as part of a randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of an e-TOC communication tool. The e-...
