Periodontitis, an infectious disease caused by bacteria, brings about destructive changes leading to loss of bone and connective tissue attachment (Williams, 1990). Several oral bacteria are considered to be possible pathogens in periodontitis (Darveau et al., 1997). In particular, the black-pigmented, Gram-negative anaerobic rods Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia have been impl...

BACKGROUND Periodontal disease (PD) is the most widespread oral disease in dogs and has been associated with serious systemic diseases. The disease is more prevalent in small breeds compared to large breeds and incidence increases with advancing age. In prevalence studies 84% of Beagles over the age of 3 and 100% of Poodles over the age of 4 were diagnosed with PD. Current knowledge of the rate...

BACKGROUND Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases associated with the host's immune response against periodontopathogenic infection. Failure to accurately diagnose the stage of periodontitis has limited the ability to predict disease status. Therefore, we aimed to look for reliable diagnostic markers for detection or differentiation of early stage periodontitis using the immunopr...

The present manuscript reports a 7-year follow-up of a kindred in which 10 children (siblings and cousins) had moderate to severe periodontal diseases in primary (9 children) and permanent teeth (1 child). No systemic condition was related to the periodontal diseases. The number of affected teeth per child varied from 1 to 12. Treatments involved local therapy and systemic antibiotics. Treatmen...

Periodontitis is a common oral disease that is characterized by infection and inflammation of the tooth supporting tissues. While its incidence is highly associated with outgrowth of the pathogenic microbiome, some patients show signs of predisposition and quickly fall into recurrence after treatment. Recent research using genetic associations of candidates as well as genome-wide analysis highl...

Objective: Due to the increase in prevalence of periodontal diseases, quality life decreases with aging. The purpose this study was investigate and disease young adults elderly individuals. Materials Method: A total 104 individuals, including 52 patients (Test group; 37 gingivitis 15 periodontitis) (mean age 67.56 ± 3.12) adult (Control 27.88 6.59), were included study. patients’ determined by ...

Objective: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) can contribute to various emotional symptoms by damaging the temporal lobe. This study aimed at investigating emotion processing in patients with early- and late-onset TLE compared to a healthy group. Methods: In this causal-comparative study, 60 patients with diagnosed TLE were compared to 60 healthy controls to identify emotion processing styles. The d...

the aim of the present study was to compare the occurrence and duration of clinical mastitis in different seasons, stages of lactation period and parities in a holstein dairy farm in iran. a retrospective epidemiological survey from april 2005 to march 2008 was conducted on 884 clinical mastitis cases of 7437 lactations. data of each case including calendar-date of mastitis onset, days in milk ...

objective: leukocyte adhesion deficiency(lad) is a scarce, autosomal recessive inherited disorder . lad-i which is the most common type occurs due to mutations on the cd18 gene. this mutation leads to absence or severe reduction of leukocyte cell surface expression of ß2 integrin molecules which are necessary for the adhesion of the leukocytes to the endothelial cells, transendothelial migratio...
