Results We found no statistically significant difference between VAS-based and classical programming in regard to the specific contact or amplitude used or in regard to the clinical disease severity (UPDRS). Conclusions Our data suggest that VAS-based and classical programming strategies both lead to similar short-term results. Although further…[Read more]

This was the first case of human babesiosis mimicking Reiter’s syndrome. Following proper antimicrobial therapy, the patient fully recovered in four weeks. We aim to highlight that a search for Babesia species should be considered in patients with non-specific symptomatology and a history of blood transfusion or a possible tick exposure in…[Read more]

Moreover, OLP inhibited the gene expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6) and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB) in the livers of mice. Further study indicated that OLP could restrain the apoptosis of hepatic cells due to the decrease of the apoptosis index and down-regulations of protein expression levels of Bcl-2 as…[Read more]

Network analysis ratings showed Endoflas and ZOE performed better than iodoform alone. Also, LSTR performed better (P less then 0.001) than pulpectomies in teeth with preoperative root resorption, but pulpectomy results were superior (P=0.09) if roots were intact. Rotary instrumentation of root canals was significantly faster (P less then 0.001)…[Read more]
