abstract background: premature neonates’ feeding is of great importance due to its effective role in their growth. these neonates should reach an independent oral nutrition stage before being discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit. therefore, the researcher decided to conduct a study on the effect of palady and cup feeding on premature neonates’ weight gain and their reaching full ora...

Background. This study evaluated the effect of two prophylaxis techniques on the marginal gap of CI V resin-modified glass-ionomer restorations. Methods. Standard Cl V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 48 sound bovine mandibular incisors in this in vitro study. After restoration of the cavities with GC Fuji II LC resin-modified glass-ionomer, the samples were randomly assigned to...

Abstract The improvement of physical properties emulsified bitumen residues is the prime concern for researchers to improve performance cold mix asphalt and different types polymers are incorporated in this purpose. However, emulsion usually prepared with help emulsifier function emulsions reduce interfacial tension on surfaces water droplets which results a stable suspension system sufficient ...

Polysaccharides from carrageenan have potential as bioplastics that is resistance to waters (hydrophobic), alsocan be improved by using modified starch. Modified starch a material can reduce the hydrophilic properties of bioplastics. The objectives this study were determine effect application on carrageenan-based bioplastic’s cup biodegradability and water best bioplastic formulation for resist...

Aqueous extract and volatile oil were obtained from Miliusa tomentosa by using soxhlet extractor and hydro distillation with a Clevenger-type apparatus respectively. The extract and volatile oil both were screened for Antimicrobial activity against different bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pncumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus pumilis) and...

Background: Oral feeding problems are among the most common issues in preterm infants. Various methods and feeding support tools are used in this regard, such as cup feeding and feeding nozzle. The present study aimed to determine the preferred method between cup feeding and feeding nozzle to support oral feeding in premature neonates. Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 70 preterm i...

BACKGROUND Improper acetabular component orientation in THA has been associated with increased dislocation rates, component impingement, bearing surface wear, and a greater likelihood of revision. Therefore, any reasonable steps to improve acetabular component orientation should be considered and explored. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore sought to compare THA with a robotic-assisted posterior...

Addressing acetabular bone defects can be difficult and depends on the amount of bone loss. Augments, either with bone or highly porous metals, are options that still allow the use of a hemispherical cup. Almost all previous research and publication on acetabular augments have focused on revision hip arthroplasty utilizing either a modified lateral or a posterolateral surgical approach. We desc...
