statement of problem: dental caries is one of the common diseases in the world. it is an infective disease which is caused by loss of minerals and destruction of dental tissues. one of the most effective ways to diagnose the interproximal caries is radiography. bitewing radiography is the best way for caries diagnosis. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the interpr...

Glutamate receptor (GluR) delta2 selectively expressed in cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) plays key roles in long-term depression (LTD) induction at parallel fiber (PF)-PC synapses, motor learning, the matching and connection of PF-PC synapses in developing and adult cerebella, the elimination of multiple climbing fibers (CFs) during development, and the regulation of CF territory on PCs. Howev...

BACKGROUND The health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in subjects with chronic thoracic aortic disease (TAD) not scheduled for intervention has not been previously reported. Such information may aid counseling, management, and clinical decision-making. We report HRQOL in TAD, its main subtypes (aneurysm versus dissection and proximal versus distal), compare it to a reference group from the gene...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES We prospectively measured change in quality of life (QOL) during the 2 years after a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and evaluated determinants of QOL, including development of the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). PATIENTS/METHODS Consecutive patients with acute DVT were recruited from 2001 to 2004 at eight hospitals in Canada. At study visits at baseline, and 1, ...

Background & Objective: Bacterial, contamination of blood components are a significant risk for transfusion reactions. Inherently, platelet concentrates (PCs) are vulnerable to bacterial contamination, due to the storage condition of processed PCs at room temperature, which provide very suitable conditions for the proliferation of microorganisms....

Although a growing literature has linked extreme psychosocial adversity in early development to brain structure and function, recent studies highlight that differences socioeconomic resources may also affect development. In this article, we describe research linking variation neighborhood context parenting practices, two contexts shaped by resources, neural function structure, particularly the ...

Sustained neural activity can be the result of either the dynamics of recurrent neural networks or the intrinsic properties of individual cells. In the later case, it has been shown in different brain areas that neurons can present a bistable behavior where brief inputs produce a prolonged increase in discharge rate due to a depolarized membrane potential. Neurons in this active condition, the ...
