BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that salivary thiobarbituric acid reactive substances are related to the periodontal status in adults. Such an analysis has not been done on children yet. The aim of our study was to analyze salivary markers of oxidative stress in relation to periodontal and dental status in children. METHODS The periodontal and dental status of 82 consecutive pediatric ...

Administration of the anticonvulsant 5,5-diphenylhydantoin sodium (DPH, Dilantin) depresses the level of serum protein-bound iodine (PBI) without inducing clinical hypothyroidism or changing other measures of thyroid function, such as 24-hour thyroidal accumulation of I131, thyroidal clearance of I131, serum cholesterol, and basal metabolic rate (1). Since DPH also induces a fall in the serum P...

N AUTOMATED TECHNIQUE for the determination of serum T31 uptake, based on the AutoAnalyzer, was proposed by Pollard et al. (1); a report of the clinical application of this method followed (2) and minor technical improvements were reported by Webber et al. (3). The latter showed an excellent correlation between the T3 uptake as measured by the automated technique and serum PBI. Continued experi...

The paper describes an EasyTest cell developed for simple, safe and inexpensive to run testing and optimisation of the active materials (catalysts, catalytic supports, polymer membrane electrolytes) and electrode structures utilized in PEM Fuel cells and Electrolysers. The main advantages of the new EasyTest technique are demonstrated by a comparative study on the performance of two types of me...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have documented short-term functional outcomes for patients sustaining penetrating brain injuries (PBIs). However, little is known regarding the long-term functional outcome in this patient population. Therefore, we sought to describe the long-term functional outcomes of combat casualties sustaining PBI.
