Calcium hydroxide's anti-bacterial action relies on high pH. The aim here was to investigate hydroxyl ion diffusion through dentine under different conditions. Teeth were divided into control (n = 4) and four experimental groups (n = 10): Group 1-no medicament; Group 2-Calmix; Group 3-Calmix/Ledermix; Group 4-Calasept Plus/Ledermix; Group 5-Pulpdent/smear layer. Deep (inner dentine) and shallow...

recent developments in medicine have given us a better insight into a group of disorders known as autoimmune diseases. in particular, advances have occurred in our understanding of the autoimmune inner ear disease (aied). in this article, the authors review the different postulated theories in the pathogenesis of this disease. the clinical presentation, the available para-clinical diagnostic to...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To determine whether the volumes of macular layers before and after epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling as measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) correlated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) or ERM location. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six eyes with idiopathic ERM and 12 control eyes were imaged preoperatively and postoperatively using ...

this paper is an investigation of $l$-dual frames with respect to a function-valued inner product, the so called $l$-bracket product on $l^{2}(g)$, where g is a locally compact abelian group with a uniform lattice $l$. we show that several well known theorems for dual frames and dual riesz bases in a hilbert space remain valid for $l$-dual frames and $l$-dual riesz bases in $l^{2}(g)$.

PURPOSE To evaluate the association between degree of retinal abnormalities and uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) in idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) patients with a small amount of refractive error. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 49 eyes (37 patients) of idiopathic ERM patients. We investigated the association between visual acuity and macular status (central macular thickness [CMT],...

AIMS To assess the effectiveness of treatment to the inner sclerostomy sites at the time of vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in reducing the incidence of late recurrent postoperative vitreous cavity haemorrhage (POVCH). METHOD Retrospective study of a consecutive series of 82 eyes undergoing vitrectomy for PDR by a single surgeon treated with either cryotherapy or argon...
