BACKGROUND To evaluate a potential correlation between flexural strength and indirect tensile strength in assessing the mechanical strength of resin composite cements. METHODS Flexural strength (n = 5) and indirect tensile strength (n = 5) of 7 resin composite cements (RelyX Unicem 2 Automix [RXU], Panavia SA [PSA], Clearfil SA [CSA], Panavia F2.0 [PF2], Multilink Implant [MLI], DuoCem [DCM],...

Methods The case records of patients with auto inflammatory syndrome were studied to assess history and site of VTE. Subtype of auto inflammatory disease was noted along with risk factors for VTE and therapy for auto inflammatory disease. In addition it was assessed if auto inflammatory disease had been clinically active at the time of VTE and whether inflammatory markers were elevated in the 6...

background: in addition to the known risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, many studies reported that there are some new risk factors such as hemocystein, lipoprotein (a), fibrinogen and factor vп affecting the morbidity and increasing the risk of disease. the current study was designed to evaluate such risk factors in relation to those previously established in a case-control study design. ...

How can repulsive and attractive forces, acting on a conservative system, create stable traveling patterns or branching instabilities? We have proposed to study this question in the framework of the hyperbolic Keller-Segel system with logistic sensitivity. This is a model system motivated by experiments on cell communities auto-organization, a field which is also called socio-biology. We contin...

The aim of this research is to look into the roles of families' social situation and cohesion in adolescent auto-aggressiveness in Croatia. The research was conducted on a sample of Zagreb high school students which encompassed 701 pupils of both genders aged 14-19. The basic demographic data were obtained using the Structured Demographic and Family Data Questionnaire. Auto-aggressiveness was t...

The cycle length (CL) of atrial fibrillation (AF) may have clinical utility, yet reliable CL measurements typically require invasive electrophysiologic study (EPS). We hypothesized that autocorrelation analysis of the ECG accurately reflects intra-atrial CL in AF, and is more robust than spectral analysis from QRS-subtracted ECGs. Methods We studied 39 patients undergoing AF ablation. For ECG l...
