background: a few studies have investigated the effect of the activation mode of adhesive systems on bond strength of fi ber posts to root canal dentin. this study investigated the push-out bond strengths of a glass fi ber post to different root canal regions with the use of two adhesives with light- and dual-cure polymerization modes. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 40 maxillary...

Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is effective for selected heart failure (HF) patients, but is associated with a 30-40% nonresponse rate. Identification of CRT responders may be improved with myocardial strain imaging. The circumferential uniformity ratio estimate (CURE ) measures mechanical dyssynchrony by Fourier series fitting of myocardial strains over space, but requires ...
