Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: Benefits of a New Technology in Dental Imaging
(2013)Cone-beam computed tomography is a dental imaging system that was introduced in the early 2000s. Its advanced technology and recent development has caused it to become increasingly popular over the last few years. The new ... -
The Relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease.
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between diabetes mellitus and the severity of periodontal disease. Specifically, the goal was to be able to prevent and treat periodontal disease in diabetic ... -
Partial Purification and Characterization of Host Cell Proteases in the SF-9 Insect Cell Line
(1994)The SF-9 cell line, like many other cell lines, is used by many industrial and academic laboratories for the expression of recombinant proteins. The SF-9 cell line was cloned by G.E. Smith and C.L. Cherry in 1983 from ... -
Kupffer Cells and PMNs as Cellular Sources That Contribute to Organ Damage During Endotoxin-Enhanced Hepatic IschemiaReferfusion Injury
(1994)Periods of hepatic ischemia (I) followed by reperfusion (RP) have been demonstrated to produce severe injury which can act as a priming event when combined with a secondary insult such as sepsis, to potentiate more severe ... -
Cecal Permeability of Salicylic Acid, Halofuginone, and Paraherquamide in the 7-14 Day Old Chicken
(1994)There is a great need for new drugs, with new modes of action to combat coccidiosis-a condition caused by infection of the intestinal tract of livestock by protozoa parasites of the genus Eimeria. However, during the ... -
Determination of Ventronectin Binding Sites in Non-Catheter and Catheter-Infection Associated Strains of Staphylococcus Epidermis
(1993)Catheter infections are caused by polymicrobial colonies of coagulase-negative staphylococci with Staphylococcus epidermis representing the primary bacteria involved. Staphylococcus epidermis is a part of the normal skin ... -
Comparison of Noninvasive Testing Modalities in the Assessment of Peripheral Arterial Hemodynamics Following Vascular Interventional Procedures
(1991)Vascular medicine and surgery have recently seen the development of new noninvasive diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques. A magnetic resonance blood flowmeter (MRF) has been developed to quantitate ... -
Localization of Regurgitant Common Atrioventricular Valve Commissures in Atrioventricular Septal Defects Using Color Flow Doppler Echocardiography
(1992)The commissures of the five-leaflet common atrioventricular (A V) valve characteristic of the atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) can be seen en face using a subcostal 2-dimensional echocardiographic imaging plane. If ... -
The Role of Opioid Receptor Antagonists on Acute Mesenteric Small Bowel Ischemia in the Rat: The Comparative Effects of (-)-Naloxone and Nalmefene
(1991)The effects of two opioid receptor antagonists, (-)-naloxone and nalmefene, were studied on acute mesenteric small bowel ischemia in the rat. In previous studies, (-)-naloxone has been shown to increase the survival ... -
The Effects of Milk Components on the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Bovine Mastitis Pathogens
(1993)This experiment investigated the effects of milk components on the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antimicrobial commonly used to treat bovine mastitis. The procedure for this experiment involved the use of ... -
