Background and Aim: Reducing the number of pathogenic microorganisms can contribute to reducing the incidence and epidemiology of periodontal diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of Ardox-X active oxygen-containing toothpaste on periodontal indices in patients with at least 1 to 2 implants. Materials and Methods: In this crossover randomized clinical trial, 30 subjects w...

Chemotactic cells translate shallow chemoattractant gradients into a highly polarized intracellular response that includes the localized production of PI(3,4,5)P(3) on the side of the cell facing the highest chemoattractant concentration. Research over the past decade began to uncover the molecular mechanisms involved in this localized signal amplification controlling the leading edge of chemot...

 Background & Objective:  Sildenafil citrate is a potential new strategy for the management of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia, although its efficacy still needs to be approved. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to systematically assess the effectiveness of sildenafil on improving fetal Doppler indices, as well as the most common adverse effects of sildenafil.  ...

Szeged, Padmakar-Ivan (PI), and Mostar indices are some of the most investigated distance-based Szeged-like topological indices. On other hand, polynomials related to these were also introduced, for example Szeged polynomial, edgeSzeged PI etc. In this paper, we introduce a concept general polynomial connected strength-weighted graph. It turns out that includes all above mentioned infinitely ma...

Introduction: Corrosion and scaling are important factors affecting drinking water quality, causing health and economic problems. This study aimed to investigate the indicators of corrosion and scaling in Rafsanjan drinking water. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in winter 2018 and spring 2019 in Rafsanjan. The 56 samples were randomly taken fr...

background and aims. previous data have demonstrated that berberine, a barberry plant alkaloid, possesses various therapeutic properties. this study histologically evaluated the clinical efficacy of a berberine-derived topical gel on periodontal inflammation in patients requiring surgery. materials and methods. this randomized clinical trial was performed on 14 patient (11 females, 3 males) pre...

In this survey article a brief account on the development of Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index in that applications of Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index in the fascinating field of nano-technology are discussed.

‎let $g$ be a graph and $chi^{prime}_{aa}(g)$ denotes the minimum number of colors required for an‎ ‎acyclic edge coloring of $g$ in which no two adjacent vertices are incident to edges colored with the same set of colors‎. ‎we prove a general bound for $chi^{prime}_{aa}(gsquare h)$ for any two graphs $g$ and $h$‎. ‎we also determine‎ ‎exact value of this parameter for the cartesian product of ...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a well-established independent risk factor for hypertension and other cardiometabolic disorders. However, the best anthropometric index of obesity that predicts or associates strongly with hypertension and related conditions remains controversial and inconclusive. OBJECTIVE This study compared the performance of eight anthropometric indices of obesity: body mass index (B...
