Accurate metering of agricultural water is becoming increasingly important world wide. Surprisingly, the dynamics of water in small irrigation canals are not well understood and this limits the accuracy of flow measurements in these channels. To help improve the accuracy of flow data, we performed detailed measurements of the velocity distribution for a variety of flow conditions in a several s...

INTRODUCTION The knowledge of root canal anatomy is essential to ensure a successful outcome of surgical and nonsurgical root canal treatment. The aims of this article were to present 2 cases of maxillary molars with 3 mesiobuccal root canals and to review the available literature on this anatomic variation. METHODS The first case described a nonsurgical root canal treatment of tooth #16 in a...

Objective(s) Extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM) play important roles in many developmental processes during development and after birth. Among the components of the BM, collagen fibers specially type IV are the most important parts. The aim of this study was to determine the time when collagen type IV appears in the BM of lens structure during mouse embryonic development. M...

conclusions the combination of intravenous paracetamol 1 gr and ketamine 0.5 mg/kg resulted in an overall reduction in pain scores, decreased postoperative analgesic requirements, and lower agitation score compared with intravenous paracetamol 1 gr and tramadol 0.7 mg/kg for patients undergoing renal surgery. results postoperative pain scores were significantly lower in the pk group than in the...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of filling in main and lateral root canals performed with the McSpadden technique, regarding the time spent on the procedure and the type of gutta-percha employed. Fifty simulated root canals, made with six lateral canals placed two apiece in the cervical, middle and apical thirds of the root, were divided into 5 groups. Group A: McSpadden techn...

Mandibular second premolars with three canals (Type V, Vertucci) and separate foramina are very rare. The anatomy of the pulp chamber floor in these premolars usually reveals one lingual and two buccal orifices at the same level. This case report describes a second premolar with three canals and an unusual pulpal floor anatomy with one distobuccal and one distolingual orifice at the same level ...

Differences in microscopic structure of the femur between 2 month-old transgenic rabbits with hFVIII gene and the non-transgenic ones were investigated. Qualitative and quantitative histological characteristics of compact bone microstructure were evaluated. We observed the presence of fibrolamellar bone tissue only in transgenic rabbits. Measured values for area, perimeter, maximum and minimum ...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to identify the bilateral distolingual (DL) canals / roots of the mandibular first molars and second mesiobuccal (MB2) canals of the maxillary first molars in the same Turkish individuals using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 150 CBCT images including all mandibular and maxillary first molars were retr...

one hundred and twenty two blood samples from patients with ami and aci were analyzed for glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride by colorimetric method, and for lipoprotein by millipore agaro-slide electrophoretic technique. the results presented in this communication indicated that patients with ami and acd had higher abnormal gtt than that of the controls. the cholesterol and triglyceride levels ...
