Introduction/Objective. Bone resorption is a common problem in dentistry, and bone reparation cannot be easily achieved. Several techniques of grafting the use low-level laser treatment (LLLT) as new therapeutic optional recommended for improving repair were applied. The aim study was to investigate influence LLLT artificially made defects rat mandible using histomorphometry. Methods. research ...

•Circulating microparticles may interplay in vascular remodeling and tissue reparation.•Heart failure associates with elevated apoptotic and decreased activated endothelial cell-derived microparticles.•Imbalance between numbers of apoptotic and activated endothelial cell microparticles reflects impaired immune phenotype.•Impaired immune phenotype of microparticles might discuss a surrogate mark...

Is it possible, after a conflict or genocide, to deliver justice and build a new political order acceptable to all sides previously set on destroying each other? Christian Nadeau looks at recent conflicts in Rwanda and in the former Yugoslavia, among others, to lay down the foundations of a theory of transitional justice.

Appropriate representation is the key to successful reasoning. Hence, if intelligent agents are to cope with changing goals in a changing environment, they must be able to adapt their representations, i.e., to detect that a current representation is inadequate, to diagnose its shortcomings and to repair it. In this paper we address the most basic kind of representational shortcoming: inconsiste...

Multidrug resistance caused by the overexpression of ABC transporter proteins in cancer cells remains a major obstacle limiting chemotherapy efficacy. Drugs inhibiting these transporters have been shown to increase the anti-proliferative properties of chemotherapeutics. As we previously described, proadifen, a P450 monooxygenase inhibitor, might also be able to inhibit some ABC transporters, in...

Tort scholarship on the law of negligence has long been torn between two competing conceptions. One of these conceptions—the justice conception—holds that negligence law is (and should be) an articulation of our ordinary moral conceptions of agency and responsibility, carelessness and wrongdoing, harm and reparation. The other conception—the economic conception—holds that the law of negligence ...
