PURPOSE As they grow, children develop their attitude and behavior related to tooth brushing by taking their parents' oral-dental health behavior as an example. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there was a similarity in tooth brushing between primary school-age children and their parents presenting to the Department of Oral, Dental and Jaw Diseases and Surgery and the Department ...

plastic bronchitis (pb) refers to the presence of inspissated bronchial casts (bc) is uncommon in children.our case presented with subcutaneous emphysema as the dominant manifestation and was suspected to have foreign body in airway, but bronchoscopy revealed a bronchial cast. subcutaneous emphysema as the initial/sole manifestation of plastic bronchitis is very rare in children.

A symposium on the topic was held at the ACS national meeting in New Orleans last month. It was cosponsored by the Divisions of Polymer Chemistry and Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering. The symposium was organized by Brittain; University of Houston associate chemistry professor Rigoberto C. Advincula; Duke University senior research scientist Kenneth C. Caster; and Jürgen Rühe, professo...

  Introduction: To assess the efficacy and safety of bronchial artery embolization in the treatment of massive hemoptysis.   Materials and Methods: A retrospective study on 46 patients (26 males and 20 females) who were referred to the Razavi Hospital from April 2009 to May 2012 with massive hemoptysis and had bronchial artery embolization procedures. General characteristics of the patients inc...

In asthmatic subjects there is a pronounced diurnal variation in bronchial responsiveness. If this phenomenon is due to variation in factors that control drug delivery, then it should be paralleled by a similar variation in competitive antagonist blockade. In order to study this possibility, we performed the methacholine challenge test and after 45 minutes, administered atropine by inhalat...

The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of manual and powered toothbrushes in 70 patients between 19 and 44 years of age who reported with mild gingivitis to AFID. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 35 each. Group A patients were selected for electronic powered tooth brushes, while group B patients were selected for manual brushes. At baseline, after one and 3 mo...

statement of the problem some studies reveal that the oral cavity acts as a potential reservoir for h. pylori or a possible route of transmission. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between advanced periodontal diseases and gastrointestinal problems and the effect of oral hygiene on this relationship. materials and methods this descriptive cross-sectional study was carried ou...

he objective of this work was to evaluate the surface roughness changes of three current resin cements after tooth brushing simulation, as well as discuss its relation with scanning electron microscopic observations. The materials employed were Enforce Sure Cure (Dentsply), Rely X (3M-ESPE) and Variolink II (Vivadent). They were subjected to brushing abrasion (100,000 strokes for each specimen)...

AIM: To assess the prevalence of dental abrasion and its association with tooth brushing frequency among patients attending O.P.D. in H.P.Government Dental College and Hospital, Shimla. Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 100 adults (53 male and 47 female) aged 20 years and above who attended the O.P.D. in H.P.Govenment Dental College and Hospital. The assessment was done using ...

background: oral care plays an inevitable role in health and well-being of patients in intensive care units (icus). poor oral care causes colonization of respiratory pathogens and secondary respiratory infections. ventilator-associated pneumonia occurs in patients on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. it results in prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, mortality and health e...
