Carpal tunnel syndrome leads to significant bone loss in metacarpal bones
(SPRINGER-VERLAG TOKYO, 2001)
The present study was designed to determine bone density modifications at the forearm and metacarpal bones in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray ...
Effect of immobilization stress on gonadotropins and sex steroids
(CONSULTANTS BUREAU, 2003)
The effects of the acute immobilization stress on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and testosterone levels in rats were evaluated. The male and female rats were grouped in control ...
Pulpal blood flow: effects of corticotomy and midline osteotomy in surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2003)
Introduction/purpose: Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion is used for the management of transverse maxillary deficiency in the early permanent dentition. The success depends on the maintenance of an adequate blood ...
Apical extrusion of intracanal bacteria following use of various instrumentation techniques
(WILEY, 2008)
To evaluate the number of bacteria extruded apically from extracted teeth ex vivo after canal instrumentation using a manual technique and three engine-driven techniques utilizing nickel-titanium instruments (K3, RaCe, and ...
Altered contractile responsiveness in ileal longitudinal muscle after total gastrectomy in a rat model
(SPRINGER-VERLAG, 2004)
Purpose To test the hypothesis that the changes in ileal smooth muscle contractility accompanying postgastrectomy syndromes are agonist-specific, we investigated the effects of potassium chloride (KCl), carbachol, substance ...
Are plasma and synovial fluid leptin levels correlated with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis ?
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Leptin is an adypocyte derivated peptide hormone that plays a major role in preventing obesity development by the effects at the hypothalamic level. In our study leptin levels of 41 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and ...
Optical properties of excitons in quantum well wires under the magnetic field
(WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 2003)
The binding energy of excitons in quantum well wires of GaAs surrounded by Ga1-xAlxAs was calculated in an effective mass approximation with the use of the variational approach. Results obtained show that the exciton binding ...
Tracheo-bronchial structures of sheep lung: A morphometric study
(INDIAN COUNC AGRICULTURAL RES, 2007)
…
Dobutamine stress tetrofosmin SPECT; evaluation of short rest-stress protocol and head to head comparison with MIBI in detection of coronary artery disease
(JAPANESE SOCIETY NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2005)
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of same day short rest-dobutamine stress Tetrofosmin (TF) SPECT imaging protocol and to compare TF SPECT results with MIBI ...
A computational study on the self-association of -CN, -NH2, -CH3 and -C(CH3)(3) derivatives of 2-pyrrolidinone
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2004)
2-Pyrrolidinone is a model compound for peptides, proteins and antibiotics. We performed full geometry optimizations for -CN, -NH2, -CH3 and -C(CH3)(3) derivatives of 2-pyrrolidinone and their cyclic and open dimer structures ...
