Background: Obesity and insulin resistance refer to a clustering of various medical conditions, with a number of pathological components that contribute to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Some studies have shown that free testosterone levels are low in obese men and are inversely correlated with the degree of obesity. In addition, leptin levels increases with obesity tha...

Background and Aim: There have been attempts to restore destroyed primary anterior teeth using a variety of post and core systems, which were able to solve just part of the problems related to this issue. Therefore, the present study aimed to inves-tigate the fracture resistance of restorations supported with a variety of posts and cores in primary anterior teeth. Materials and Methods: The pr...

background methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) continues to be a major cause of nosocomial infections. methicillin resistance in s. aureus is caused by the acquisition of the meca gene, located on a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome (scc). objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of the predominant sccmec type present among ...

In this study, the behavior characteristics of I beam-to-concrete filled tube (CFT) column connection is studied through experiment and finite element models under the monotonic loading. To validate the finite element modeling, at first, an experimental model is made and experimented. After validation of the finite element modeling, different models were created in the software. The studied par...
