BACKGROUND Many clinical studies revealed the effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in the treatment of mucogingival defects. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of ADM-based root coverage (RC) and ADM-based increase in keratinized tissues to other commonly used mucogingival surgeries. METHODS Meta-analysis was limited to randomized clinical trials (RCT). Ar...

Abstract : In this paper an interesting and famous realistic electronic circuit problem is discussed using the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is presented. To illustrate the effectiveness of the ADM an example from linear time-varying electrical circuit problem have been considered and compared with the Runge-Kutta Butcher algorithm (RKB)[5] and with exact solutions of the problems, and are...

The Telescoping Decomposition Method (TDM) is a new iterative method to obtain numerical and analytical solutions for first order nonlinear differential equations. The method is a modified form of the well-known Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) where the Adomian polynomials have not to be calculating. The (TDM) is easier to apply and offers better accuracy than the (ADM). Also, it can be appl...

The direct flight muscles of Drosophila melanogaster are innervated by the anterior dorsal mesothoracic (ADM) nerve and the mesothoracic accessory (MAC) nerve. Each of the four conspicuously large axons in the ADM nerve serves one of the muscles designated/>aV,/><24 andpa5. Muscle pa4 is additionally innervated by a very small neurosecretory axon. Muscle pa6, also innervated by the ADM ne...

Amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) is a rare subtype of dermatomyositis which is often recalcitrant to immune suppressing treatments. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used in the treatment of refractory dermatomyositis. We present two patients with severe ADM, who were treated with IVIG at 2 g/kg every four weeks. Both patients had a successful response and were able to taper the dosage...

Responses to human CGRP, adrenomedullin (ADM), and proadrenomedullin NH2-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) were studied in small human thymic arteries. CGRP, ADM, and PAMP produced concentration-dependent vasodilator responses in arteries preconstricted with the thromboxane mimic U-46619. Responses to ADM and PAMP were attenuated, whereas responses to CGRP were not altered by endothelial denudation. I...

Background Multidrug resistance (MDR) frequently contributes to the failure of chemotherapeutic treatments in patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Revealing the molecular mechanism of MDR is indispensable for the development of effective chemotherapeutic drugs. Purpose Due to the low-toxicity modulators to inhibit MDR, we considered that Kanglaite (KLT) is a potential agent...

The acellular dermal matrix (ADM) was introduced in periodontology as a substitute for the autogenous grafts, which became restricted because of the limited source of donor's tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate, in vitro, the distribution, proliferation and viability of human gingival fibroblasts seeded onto ADM. ADM was seeded with human gingival fibroblasts for up to 21 days. The...

BACKGROUND Antidepressant medication (ADM) is thought to reduce depressive symptoms by altering emotion-generative brain systems. However, it is unknown whether successful ADM treatment is associated with changes in psychobehavioral strategies used to regulate emotions. We examined depressive symptoms and emotion regulation strategies before and after ADM in the international Study to Predict O...
