statement of the problem early detection of periodontal disease and distruction is important for prevention of further destruction of the tissues. we carried out this study to determine the normal cement enamel junction (cej) to alveolar bone crest (abc) distance in the interproximal area of primary molars on bitewing (b. w) radiographs in healthy 7-9 year old girls living in hamadan, iran. mat...

varicose veins are an extremely common medical condition (present in 5-30% of adults). surgery remains the gold standard of care in patients with varicose veins, however several newer interventions have been recently introduced which need to be evaluated. during the standard surgery it is imperative to demonstrate and ligate the tributaries of the saphenofemoral junction in combination with str...

it was thought previously that cardiac muscle gap junctions provide low-resistance connections between cells and permit the local-circuit current to flow. some evidences show that myocardial cells may not require low-resistance connections for successful propagation of the action potential (ap). it seems that some other types of mechanisms must be involved in ap propagation. in this article, we...

open-channel junctions have a broad application in civil and environmental engineering. formation of a low-pressure zone with recirculating flow (high sedimentation) accompanied by a high-velocity zone (high erosion) is the most characteristic feature of flow in junctions. a large number of researches have been performed to study the complexity of the flow in junctions in open-channel flows. in...

Cisplatin treatment has an overall 19% response rate in animal models with malignant tumors. Increasing gap junction activity in tumor cells provides the targets to enhance antineoplastic therapies. Previously, a new class of substituted quinolines (PQs) acts as gap junction enhancer, ability to increase the gap junctional intercellular communication, in breast cancer cells. We examined the eff...

evidence acquisition a search of pubmed for studies on proximal fifth metatarsal fracture and jones fracture focusing on the classification and management was performed. the reference list of the retrieved articles was searched for additional related studies. conclusions lawrence and botte’s classification of proximal fifth metatarsal fractures is recommended by experts, due to its implication ...

The atlanto-occipital (AO) overlap in combination with atlanto-axial (AA) instability was found in a dog. We hypothesized that ventral fixation of the AA junction can stabilize the atlas and prevent AO overlap by reviewing our past cases with AA instability. A standard ventral fixation of the AA junction using stainless k-wires and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was performed. The dog fully rec...
