case. By clinical cure is meant that after specific treatment the patient became afebrile and remained so, the size of the spleen decreased markedly, the blood picture improved up to the normal level for the population, and there was a distinct gain in weight. As with other diamidines, the temperature came down to normal in most cases after the completion of a course of injections. As in all th...

The German distance learning university uses the web-based collaborative learning platform CURE to support different collaborative learning scenarios, e.g. collaborative exercises or virtual seminars. During these scenarios students form learning groups upon teacher's request and collaborate on a common task. But as soon as the given tasks are accomplished, in most times the collaboration stagn...

A prospective, non-randomized, open clinical trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of itraconazole for treatment of Microsporum ferrugineum tinea capitis. Itraconazole capsules were given every day in continuous group and every day for 1 week on and 3-week off in pulse therapy group. Concomitant topical therapy with 2% ketoconazole shampoo was used daily. Clinical evaluation consisted o...

o bjectives: heat-polymerized acrylic resin has been the most commonly used denture base material for over 60 years. however, the mechanical strength of acrylic resin is not adequate for long-term clinical performance of dentures. consequently, fracture is a com- mon clinical occurrence, which often occurs in the midline of denture base.this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cold cure and...

In the present study, a coupled 3D transient thermo-chemical analysis together with 2D plane strain mechanical is carried out for pultrusion process. For analysis, cure hardening instantaneous linear elastic (CHILE) approach used of thin beam profile made glass fibre and epoxy resin. The applied efficient fast to investigate residual stresses deformations distributions temperature degree obtain...

nanocomposite samples based on elastomer blends of butyl rubber (iir) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (epdm) were prepared using a laboratory scale two-roll mill in order to study the effect of cloisite 15a organoclay content (i.e., 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt%) on the mechanical and morphological properties  of  iir/epdm/cloisite  15a  nanocomposites  compared  to  the  unflled epdm/iir blends. rheo...

This study aimed at determining an optimum polymerization pressure for Polymer Infiltrated Ceramic Network (PICN) blocks by characterizing the conversion degree (DC) and viscoelastic properties of experimental PICN polymerized 90 °C under various high pressures followed or not post-cure treatment (PC). Near infrared analysis dynamic mechanical were used to characterize DC sixteen PICN: one cont...

Background and aims: New dentin bonding agents and techniques have been developed to reduce microleakage and create higher bond strength. This in-vitro study compared the microleakage of three resin-based adhesives versus a GIC-based adhesive on class V composite restorations.  Materials and Methods: Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 72 sound premolars, randomly assigned ...
