introduction: osteoporosis and periodontal diseases are both multifactorial and are mostly associated with aging. the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between osteoporosis and periodontal diseases. materials and methods: in this analytical/cross-sectional study, periodontal examinations were carried out on 98 women who had undergone bone mass densitometry. of these cases, cons...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of intramuscular injection of medetomidine on intra-renal arteriesresistive and pulsatility indices by duplex Doppler ultrasonographyin clinically normal adult domestic shorthair cats. For this purpose, twenty-six neutered adult healthy domestic shorthair cats (13 females and 13 males) were evaluated. B-mode, color Doppler and pulsed wave Doppl...

We construct a series of inclusions of hyperfinite subfactors Pi in the centralizer R of Powers’ IIIt factor, Pi+1 ⊂ Pi ⊂ R. It is proven that: ∀i ∈ N, P ′ i ∩R = C, [Pi : Pi+1] ≥ λ = (1 + t) t Via an outer action of Z2 on R, we also construct an inclusion of hyperfinite II1 factors, M3 ⊂ M1 with the index equal to λ, such that the relative commutant M1 ∩M ′ 3 is four dimensional.

In most states, the phosphorus (P) index (PI) is the adopted strategy for assessing a field's vulnerability to P loss; however, many state PIs have not been rigorously evaluated against measured P loss data to determine how well the PI assigns P loss risk-a major reason being the lack of field data available for such an analysis. Given the lack of P loss data available for PI evaluation, our go...

BACKGROUND Late complications after Fontan procedure may be due to the absence of pump and pulsatile pulmonary blood flow in this type of palliation. Our aim was to quantify the degree of pulsation by echocardiographic method in patients with extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection (ECTCPC) in comparison with biventricular circulation and few cases of pulsatile Fontan. METHODS In a case s...

OBJECTIVE All patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer do not need to undergo parametrectomy. Some low-risk criteria for parametrial involvement (PI) have been proposed based on pathological findings. The aim of this study was to determine pretreatment risk factors for PI in stage IB1 cervical cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 115 patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer who underwent...

Let G and H be two graphs. The corona product G o H is obtained by taking one copy of G and |V(G)| copies of H; and by joining each vertex of the i-th copy of H to the i-th vertex of G, i = 1, 2, …, |V(G)|. In this paper, we compute PI and hyper–Wiener indices of the corona product of graphs.
