Large earthquakes that have occurred along the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) were analysed to elaborate time frame of future large near İstanbul. The historical earthquake catalog was compiled covered 1 nearly complete and 2 fully failures NAF between 1250 2000 AD. These data used investigate space-time systematics M ≥ 7.0 earthquakes. catalogue identified an east-to-west decelerating domino-like...

UNLABELLED Under Medicare's Coverage with Evidence Development policy, PET using (18)F-sodium fluoride (NaF PET) to identify osseous metastasis became a covered service if prospective registry data were collected. The National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR) developed a NaF PET registry built on the foundation of its prior registry for PET with (18)F-FDG. Men with prostate cancer represented 72% ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the root carious lesion arrest of chlorhexidine (CHX) and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) varnishes and/or sodium fluoride rinses (NaF) in vitro. BACKGROUND Effective and easily applicable interventions for treating root carious lesions are needed, as these lesions are highly prevalent amongst elderly individuals. METHODS In 100 bovine dentin samples, artificial root cari...

When human platelets are stimulated with thrombin or activators of protein kinase C, cytosolic pH (pHi) increases due to activation of Na+/H+ exchange. In order to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms that regulate the exchanger, we used sodium fluoride, which is a known activator of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) in platelets. Although NaF induced the mobilization of Ca...

OBJECTIVES Multiple systematic reviews have evaluated fluorides for caries prevention in children, but a need to review the literature regarding supplemental fluoride use in adults still remains. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the research regarding professional and/or supplemental self-applied fluoride for preventing and remineralizing caries in moderate and high caries r...

UNLABELLED Fluoride varnishes play an important role in the prevention of dental caries, promoting the inhibition of demineralization and the increase of remineralization. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the amount of fluoride released into water and artificial saliva from experimental TiF4 and NaF varnishes, with different concentrations, for 12 h. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fluoride varni...

Lutropin-sensitive adenylate cyclase ((EC 4.6.1.1) ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing)) in purified rat ovarian plasma membranes i stimulated by lutropin 2to 3-fold in the absence, but 15to 20-fold in the presence of GTP or p(NH)ppG. Following 10 to 15 min of incubation at 30°C in the presence of lutropin, enzyme activity declined (50%) in the presence of GTP but not in the presence of p(NH)pp...

Addition-subtraction-chains obtained from signed digit recodings of integers are a common tool for computing multiples of random elements of a group where the computation of inverses is a fast operation. Cohen and Solinas independently described one such recoding, the w-NAF. For scalars of the size commonly used in cryptographic applications, it leads to the current scalar multiplication algori...

The objective of the present research was to determine the appropriate amount of fluoride to use professional topical application and the residual amounts of fluoride in the oral cavity using a 2% neutral sodium fluoride (NaF) foam with a dedicated tray. Using dentition study models, a method for determining the appropriate amount of NaF foam was investigated. In eight adult subjects, the appro...

To evaluate (18)F-labeled-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG-) and (18)F-labeled-sodium fluoride ((18)F-NaF-) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as biomarkers in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Nine men (53-75 years) in a phase 1 trial of abiraterone and cabozantinib had (18)F-FDG-PET/CT, (18)F-NaF-PET/CT and standard imaging ((99m)Tc-labeled-methylene-d...
