Background: Peripheral nerve injury causes prolonged functional limitation being a clinical challenge to identify resources that accelerates its recovery. Objectives: To investigate the effect of high-voltage electrical stimulation (HVES) on the morphometric and functional characteristics of the regenerated nerve after crush injury in rats. Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were randomly allocated in...

The connective constant of a graph is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks starting at a given vertex. Strict inequalities are proved for connective constants of vertex-transitive graphs. First, the connective constant decreases strictly when the graph is replaced by a nontrivial quotient graph. Second, the connective constant increases strictly when a quasitransitiv...

A general functional connective generator is proposed for the Hamacher family in this short study. The connective generator generates a variety of different families in which the original Hamacher family can be observed as a special case. Although the original additive connective generator that was proposed by Dombi is also capable of generating Hamacher norms, we show that there is yet another...

The architecture of the connective tissue, including structures such as fasciae, sheaths, and membranes, is more important for understanding functional meaning than is more traditional anatomy, whose anatomical dissection method neglects and denies the continuity of the connective tissue as integrating matrix of the body.The connective tissue anatomy and architecture exhibits two functional ten...

The connective tissue diseases include a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a wide variety of signs and symptoms. There also exists, however, a group of systemic autoimmune disorders with signs and symptoms not sufficiently evolved to fulfill any of the accepted classification criteria for the defined connective tissue diseases. These conditions have been defined as undifferenti...

in this paper, we firstly show that the $n$-dual operation of the right residual implication, which is induced by a left-conjunctive right arbitrary $vee$-distributive left semi-uninorm, is the right residual coimplication induced by its $n$-dual operation. as a dual result, the $n$-dual operation of the right residual coimplication, which is induced by a left-disjunctive right arbitrary $wedge...

introduction: gutta-percha (gp), is a neutral and non-toxic material. the aim of this animal study was to compare the biocompatibility of nanosilver coated gp (ns-gp) with conventional gp in subcutaneous tissues in a rat model. methods and materials: conventional gp and ns-gp were subcutaneously implanted in the backs of 20 male wistar rats ( n =10). a control animal was assigned for each trial...

statement of problem: various surgical procedures have been used to achieve root coverage and subepithelial connective tissue graft (sctg) is identified as one of the most successful techniques. recently, acellular dermal matrix allograft (adma) has been developed as a substitute for sctg to avoid removing the palatal connective tissue. purpose: the present study compared the clinical efficienc...
