BACKGROUND Polyfiber posts used inside the root canal can help to restore the fracture resistance of weakened premolars. AIM To assess the fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars restored with different techniques, including the new polyfiber post (Spirapost). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred superior premolars were distributed into 10 groups (n = 10): Sound teeth (G1-posit...

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a multipurpose crop with health promoting potential. This study was undertaken to investigate the fatty acid profile and yield of fixed oil of six Egyptian flaxseed cultivars. The selected cultivars with the highest content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (G9 and G10) were assessed for their antidepressant-like effect in rat model of postpartum depres...

BACKGROUND Rotavirus is the major cause of acute gastroenteritis and severe dehydrating diarrhea in young children. METHODS To estimate the proportion of hospital admissions for rotavirus acute gastroenteritis and identify the circulating G and P genotypes among children under five years of age, we conducted a prospective observational study from January to December 2008, recruiting children ...

Xenopus oocytes contain several mRNAs that are mobilized into polysomes only at the completion of meiosis (maturation) or at specific times following fertilization. To investigate the mechanisms that control translation during early development, we have focused on an mRNA, termed G10, that is recruited for translation during oocyte maturation. Coincident with its translation, the poly(A) tail o...

OBJECTIVE The present study evaluates a questionnaire on ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, the AEQ-G18 [1], [2], with regard to its statistical parameters, the influence of socio-demographic variables, and its interrelationship with depression and quality of life. METHODS A representative German sample (1009 participants from East Germany and 1034 participants from West Germany) comp...

The major surface glycoprotein (MSG) of Pneumocystis carinii f. sp. carinii consists of a heterogeneous family of proteins that are encoded by approximately 100 unique genes. A genomic expression library was screened with a panel of MSG-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to identify conserved and rare epitopes. All of the antibodies reacted with epitopes that are encoded within the 5' end of...
