OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study is to assess whether a good buccodental status (evaluated by means of dentogingival indices), is associated with a lower incidence and severity of oral mucositis in patients with hematological diseases who receive treatment with chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant. STUDY DESIGN The study was carried out on 97 patients admitted to the Hematology...

To gain insights into the working mechanism of morphine, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) patterns after morphine administration were assessed in dogs. In a randomized cross-over experimental study, rCBF was estimated with 99mTc-Ethylcysteinate Dimer single photon emission computed tomography in 8 dogs at baseline, at 30 minutes and at 120 minutes after a single bolus of morphine. Perfusion ...

Methods We constructed a software-based program (2-dimensional (2D) tool) to calculate 23 posture indices (PI) representing frontal and sagittal alignment of body segments selected from a literature review [1]. The standing posture of 70 participants aged 10 to 20 years old with IS (Cobb angle: 15o to 60o) was assessed on two occasions by two physiotherapists. Markers placed on several bony lan...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***-------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: – Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is the mostly used custom power device for improving power quality indices. The main function of DVR is to mitigate the problems of voltage sag and voltage swells. In this paper, DVR is used to control voltage sag a...

in this paper, at first we introduce a new index with the name co-pi index and obtain someproperties related this new index. then we compute this new index for tuc4c8(r) nanotubes.

High population densities of the potato cyst nematodes (PCN) Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis cause substantial yield losses to production (Solanum tuberosum) due delay caused tuber formation by retardation plant growth. It requires meticulous estimation using soil sampling applying right combination nematode management deal with PCN problem. This study aims assess use an unmanned vehicle...

Background: Due to high prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in India, Diabetic nephropathy is on the rise. Nephropathy leading cause End stage renal disease and major factor responsible for transplantation. Grey scale ultrasound can detect morphologic parenchymal changes late but functional haemodynamic be detected early on, by means doppler indices such as Resistive Index (RI) Pulsatility (PI). He...

The vertex PI index PI(G) = ∑ xy∈E(G)[nxy(x) + nxy(y)] is a distance-based molecular structure descriptor, where nxy(x) denotes the number of vertices which are closer to the vertex x than to the vertex y and which has been the considerable research in computational chemistry dating back to Harold Wiener in 1947. A connected graph is a cactus if any two of its cycles have at most one common ver...

Given a sequence of positive integers p = (p1, . . . , pn), let Sp denote the family of all sequences of positive integers x = (x1, . . . , xn) such that xi ≤ pi for all i. Two families of sequences (or vectors), A,B ⊆ Sp, are said to be r-cross-intersecting if no matter how we select x ∈ A and y ∈ B, there are at least r distinct indices i such that xi = yi. We determine the maximum value of |...
