The purpose of this study was to determine how accurately periodontal probes measure connective tissue attachment levels in beagle dogs with (1) clinically healthy gingivae, (2) experimental gingivitis, and (3) periodontitis. In the healthy and experimental gingivitis specimens the probes were inserted with a standardized force of 25 ponds. In periodontitis specimens the probes were inserted wi...

In contrast, recent ‘microscopic’ intelligibility models, which attempt to make precise predictions about a listener’s perception or misperception of specific utterances, have less well-defined goals an...

Of 14 cases of clinically and biochemically confirmed idiopathic steatorrhoea, 11 showed mucosal abnormalities when biopsy specimens from the upper small intestine were examined under the dissecting, the light, and the electron microscope. In the three remaining cases mucosal changes could be detected only under the electron microscope. The simple and inexpensive dissecting microscope can there...

background: differentiation between the muscularis mucosae (mm) and muscularispropria (mp) of the bladder remains challenging. objective: to identify mm- and mp-specific antigens that could be of potential value for staging of urothelialcarcinomain a pilot study. method: the expression of 12 protein antigens in 11 human bladder specimens was examined. there were 5 post radical cystectomy specim...
