Abstract Introduction: One-bottle light-cured adhesives systems have variable pH. In addition to ease of use, universal adhesives can be used in various restorations and different substrates. Due to the lack of studies, the purpose of this study was to compare the enamel and dentin micro-leakage of self-cure and light cure composite restorations using a universal bonding system. Materials...

Recent studies have shown that a high dietary intake of cured meat increases the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development. However, its potential effects on COPD evolution have not been tested. We aimed to assess the association between dietary intake of cured meat and risk of COPD readmission in COPD patients. 274 COPD patients were recruited during their first COPD adm...

which she received the bite. The burning pain which resulted from the bite compelled her to return home, where she was treated without effect for more than two hours by the native quacks with all sorts of charms (munturs) ; but, as the symptoms of poisoning gradually became worse, her friends thought it expedient to have recourse to the English treatment, and accordingly brought her at 12 noon ...

Cocaine dependence is an enduring problem and years of research and drug development has yet to produce an efficacious pharmacotherapy. Recent clinical research suggests that chronic treatment with amphetamine-like medications produces tolerance to cocaine's reinforcing effects and may offer a viable pharmacotherapy. Three methamphetamine-dependent participants that had been in our clinical lab...

Background: Heat cured acrylic resin is the most widely used material in the manufacture ofdenture base, but has mechanical properties weakness (transversal strength and impact strength). Alternative to increase the mechanical properties of acrylic resin is the utilization of reinforcing fibre that is polyethylene fibre that has advantage such as good aesthetic, easy to manipulate and increase ...
