The view of patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on complementary and alternative medicine
(ELSEVIER DOYMA SL, 2008)
Background: The popularity of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), particularly for chronic diseases such as asthma, is growing rapidly, but little is known about the characteristics of CAM use by patients with ...
Comparison of the sealing of different dentin bonding adhesives in root-end cavities: a bacterial leakage study
(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2008)
Objective: To compare the root-end sealing of the different dentin-bonding adhesives (DBAs) in root-end cavities using a bacterial leakage system. Study design: One hundred extracted single-rooted teeth were instrumented, ...
Periodontitis as a risk factor for preterm low birth weight
(YONSEI UNIV COLLEGE MEDICINE, 2008)
Purpose: There is growing evidence showing that a number of complex human diseases are caused or are at least influenced by periodontal diseases. Such diseases include cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes ...
Paraganglioma in pituitary fossa
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2008)
Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors of paraganglionic tissue which are extremely rare in the sellar area. We present a case of sellar paraganglioma with parasellar and suprasellar extension in a 70-year-old man who ...
In vitro evaluation of the amoebicidal activity of garlic (Allium sativum) extract on Acanthamoeba castellanii and its cytotoxic potential on corneal cells
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2008)
Free-living protozoa of the genus Acanthamoeba can cause one of the most severe, potentially sight-threatening infections of the eye, the so-called A. keratitis. A. keratitis is difficult to treat because, under adverse ...
