A total of 50 permanent mandibular 1st molars of 26 children with Down's syndrome (DS) were examined from dental casts and 59 permanent mandibular 1st molars of normal children were examined from 33 individuals. The following measurements were performed on both right and left molars (teeth 46 and 36 respectively): (a) the intercusp distances (mb-db, mb-d, mb-dl, db-ml, db-d, db-dl, db-ml, d-dl,...

A novel magnetic polymer/bentonite composite was prepared by suspension copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the presence bentonite (MB-PGME) functionalized with diamine hexamethylene (MB-PGME-ED MB-PGME-HD). The obtained samples were characterized terms structure as well thermal, morphological properties. sorption rhenium (Re) tungsten (W) from aqueou...

The topic of quality control often evokes prolific discussion among those whose business is its administration. Reliable methods for identifying mistakes must be developed in both the manufacture and use of test devices. Unit test devices are uncomplicated to run and provide quick results in a world where speed and simplicity are paramount, yet their very nature as individual assay units introd...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the depiction rate and morphologic features of myocardial bridging (MB) of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) using dual-source CT (DSCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS CT scans from a total of 1,353 patients who underwent DSCT were reviewed retrospectively for LAD-MB. Seventy-eight patients were excluded due to poor image quality or poor enhancement of the coron...

Objective In the present study, we investigated the brain interhemispheric functional connectivity changes in left eye MB versus right eye MB patients by voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) methods. Methods A total of 31 patients with MB (15 with left eye MB and 16 with right eye MB), and 31 healthy controls (HCs) closely matched for age were recruited. All subjects underwent functio...

Vasoplegia is a severe complication after cardiac surgery. Within the last years the administration of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor methylene blue (MB) became a new therapeutic strategy. Our aim was to investigate the role of MB on transendothelial migration of circulating blood cells, the potential role of cyclic cGMP, eNOS and iNOS in this process, and the influence of MB on endothelial ce...

This study investigates the effects of rotor magnetic isolation dimensions on no-load performance ultra-low speed high torque spoke type permanent magnet motor. The studied motor structures are shown, where parts include a barrier near air gap (MB-NAG), sleeve (MB-NMIS), (MIS). circuit model is performed and finite element analysis method used to analyse performance. Through analysing with thre...
