This paper gives a personal impression of the conference “Asymmetrical PNe II: From Origins to Microstructures”, flags some of the highlights, gathers together some facts and terminology, and indicates some promising future lines of work in this field.

introduction: chest x-ray (cxr) is the simplest diagnostic tool of community acquired pneumonia (cap), but it has some limitation. therefore, the aim of this study is comparing the diagnostic accuracy of cxr and chest ultrasonography (cus) in detection of cap. methods: in the present study, a consecutive sample of suspected patients with cap was underwent cus, cxr, and chest computed tomography...

Background: Diazinon (DZN) is an organophosphate pesticide commonly used for pest control in agriculture. It may engender a variety of negative effects in non-target species, including humans and animals. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the ameliorative properties of captopril (CAP), as a thiol containing an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, against DZN-induced oxidati...

Basilar impression is a skeletal malformation characterized by translocation of the upper cervical spine and clivus into the foramen magnum, giving rise to various symptoms related to brainstem, upper spinal cord, and cerebellar compression. It is generally classified as primary (familial), in which the defect is unaccompanied by intrinsic abnormalities of bone, or as secondary, reflecting an i...

abstract introduction: impression making is one of the most important steps in fixed prosthodontics. due to contra-dictory opinions on the issue of the accuracy of silicone impression material as a function of technique, this study was carried out to assess the dimensional accuracy of master casts made by rapid silicone material as a function of three impression techniques: with 2mm space, with...
