Abstract Considerable disparities exist in the prevalence of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia (ADRD) older African American (AA) populations compared to white populations. Given need for caregiver interventions family caregivers from racial ethnic minority groups that hold potential translation, implementation, sustainability their communities, peer-led, lay provider models may offer pr...

BACKGROUND Statistical tables are an important component of data analysis and reports in biological sciences. However, the traditional manual processes for computation and presentation of statistically significant results using a letter-based algorithm are tedious and prone to errors. RESULTS Based on the R language, we present two web-based software for individual and summary data, freely av...

Background. Sclerostin, a glycoprotein, plays key role in regulating bone mass. In this study, sclerostin levels the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were assessed patients with Stage III Grade C generalized periodontitis (SIII-GC) and B (SIII-GB). Methods. This cross-sectional study included 30 participants divided equally into three groups: group I (gingival health), II (SIII-GC), Clinical per...

BACKGROUND Dental whitening has been increasingly sought out to improve dental aesthetics, but may cause chemical and morphological changes in dental enamel surfaces. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated in vitro the effect of 10% strontium chloride and 5% potassium nitrate with fluoride on bovine enamel, through tristimulus colorimetry, Knoop microhardness (KHN), and roughness after bleaching with...

This study is intended to determine sex and age differences in young Canadian freestyle swimmers aged from ≤10 18, for all 6 distances 50m 1500m both short long course indoor pools. The data set used the studies publicly available categorized into sex/age/course/distance groups during seasons 2008 2019. swimming speed were determined using independent Z-tests (two-sided, unequal SD). over ages ...

AIM This in vitro study measured the force-deflection behavior of selected initial alignment archwires by conducting three-point bending tests under controlled conditions. The study tested four wire designs: multistranded stainless steel, conventional stainless steel, superelastic nickel-titanium, and thermoactivated nickel-titanium archwires. METHOD The wires (n = 15) were ligated into stain...

AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the shaping effects of two M-wire and two traditional nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems in simulated S-shaped resin canals. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty simulated S-shaped canals in resin blocks were instrumented with two traditional (ProTaper, Sendoline S5) and two M-wire (WaveOne, GT series X) NiTi systems according to the manufacturers' instruct...

PURPOSE The aim of this Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study was to measure the degree of conversion (DC) of dual-cured resin cements light-irradiated through zirconia ceramic disks with different thicknesses using various light-curing methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Zirconia ceramic disks (KT12) with three different thicknesses (1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mm) were prepared. The light ...

recently, self-etching fissure sealants have been introduced to reduce technical sensitivity; however, their efficacy should be assessed. the aim of this study was to assess of the microshear bond strength of self-etching and conventional fissure sealants.thirty non-carious third molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=10). microcylinders of concise fissure sealant were bonded to prep...
