follows that the action of BHDB in inhibiting the effect of thyroxine on the oxygen consumption of mice and its opposite action in the case of triiodothyronine (Maclagan et al. 1952) cannot have been due to changes in the total excretion rate. They must therefore reflect alterations in the activity of the circulating thyroid hormone, probably consequent upon inhibition of deiodination processes.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effect of mouthwashes containing Calendula officinalis L., Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze and 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate on the adherence of microorganisms to suture materials after extraction of unerupted third molars. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen patients with unerupted maxillary third molars indicated for extractio...
