Association of soluble ST2 with functional capacity in outpatients with heart failure
(URBAN & VOGEL, 2018)
Background. Biomarkers play an important role in the risk stratification of patients with heart failure (HF). Recent studies have shown that soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin 1 ...
Antibacterial Efficacy of Aqueous Ozone in Root Canals Infected by Enterococcus faecalis
(AHVAZ JUNDISHAPUR UNIV MED SCI, 2014)
Background: In endodontics, the elimination of resistant bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis plays an important role for treatment success in root canals. Therefore, new alternative irrigants (instead of sodium hypochlorite) ...
