INTRODUCTION Solubility of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is an important characteristic that affects other properties such as microleakage and biocompatibility. Distilled water (DW) has previously been used for solubility tests. This experimental study compared the solubility of MTA in DW, synthetic tissue fluid (STF) and new simulated plasma (SP). METHODS AND MATERIALS In this study, 36 s...

perceptual-motor skills play a vital role in many tasks of daily life and sports skills. the measurement of coincidence anticipation timing ability is a method to evaluate perceptual and perceptual-motor skills. thus, the main aim of the present study was to investigate the role of different organism, task and environment constraints in coincidence anticipation timing accuracy. for this purpose...

this study aimed to assess the effects of four weeks of detraining after eight weeks of intense sprint training on risk factors of atherogenic inflammatory damages. for this purpose, 42 male rats were divided randomly into two groups: sprint training group (experimental) (n=24 and weight 210±7) and control group (n=18 and weight 211±3). the training program was performed for 12 weeks, three ses...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between critical thinking and the use of concept mapping (CM) and problem-based learning (PBL) during care plan development. METHOD A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted using a convenience sample (n = 49) of first-semester undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students. Critical thinking was ...
