Filter by:Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease of the arterial wall, arising from the combination of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. This link is exacerbated in diabetic patients. Uric acid is known to generate oxidative stress and it's elevated levels has been shown to be associated with cardiac hypertrophy, inflammation, myocardial fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction. Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme that regulates uric acid production. In observational studies it has been shown to reduce ischemia, inflammation and improve coronary flow. The aim of this study is to see whether treatment with Allopurinol in patients diagnosed with multivessel disease and undergoing treatment with either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) , will reduce markers of inflammation and improve quality of life and major adverse cardiovascular effects (MACE).
Cross over design the investigator divide participants to two groups group (A) will receive rapid heat cured denture base material and group (b) will receive the acrylic denture modified by titanium dioxide nanoparticles and after washout period alternatively group (a) will receive the acrylic denture modified by titanium dioxide nanoparticles AND group (b) will receive rapid heat cured denture base material the investigator will take swaps from dentures to count the candida species
Our research aims to address a critical gap in the provision of quality antenatal care (ANC) in India and Nepal, by developing and evaluating an intervention comprising of a tablet-based electronic decision support system (EDSS). This intervention -"mIRA" - is an mHealth integrated model of hypertension, diabetes, and antenatal care in primary care settings. mIRA aims to (a) prompt frontline health workers (FHWs) to provide evidence-based routine ANC, and also enhance the detection and management of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH), Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), and anemia, whilst improving adherence to National ANC guidelines; (b) facilitate record-keeping and reporting and; (c) link providers across various levels of care to improve continuity of care. A cluster randomized controlled (cRCT) to assess the effectiveness of the mIRA EDSS in improving ANC and enhancing the detection and management of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH), Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), and anemia will be conducted in Telangana, India. A mixed-methods process evaluation will be conducted in both India and Nepal. The process evaluation will contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms contributing to changes (improvement) in the quality of ANC by using the EDSS intervention.
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) using bone graft and barrier membrane is a well-established technique for augmentation of atrophic alveolar ridges. There are many techniques for ridge augmentation involves the use of bone grafting materials, barrier membranes, possibly some tenting/fixation screws the stability of bone graft, space maintenance, angiogenesis, and tension free primary suture are essential for success.
Following tooth extraction alveolar ridge will undergo dimensional changes and soft tissue may collapse. These changes may complicate the subsequent restorative procedure especially in the esthetic zone. It was observed that socket-healing process may be divided into three sequential, and frequently over-lapping phases: inflammatory, proliferative and modeling/remodeling. Implants placed in fresh extraction sockets alone wasn't found to prevent the resorption of the alveolar bone.
Dental overglaze is consist of colorless glass powder and applied to the fired crown surface to provide a glossy surface,Adjustment procedure break the production of the glaze layer through a natural glaze or overglaze process and create a rough surface, glazing or polishing after adjustment procedures is important to enhance the appearance of the restoration
Because of its very high bioavailability and its specific and direct action on protein synthesis, the investigators hypothesize that citrulline supplementation would be an innovative nutritional strategy to improve the peripheral muscle mass and strength in COPD patients with severe chronic respiratory failure. This supplementation would be more effective if the pathology is severe and the chronic systemic inflammation important. The benefits of this supplementation could help the most severe patients break out of the cycle of inactivity and thus optimize their quality of life. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of 45-day nutritional supplementation with Citrulline (10 g / day) on the body composition (lean body mass) in malnourished COPD patients with severe chronic respiratory failure.
interfragmentary gap measurement using Herbert cannulated headless screw using a 3D surgical customized template versus titanuim plate
Bioactive cement have been introduced recently into the market according to the manufacture it is assumed that it stimulates mineral apatite formation and the natural remineralization process at the material-tooth interface that knits together the restoration and the tooth, penetrates and fills micro-gaps, reduces sensitivity, guards against secondary caries, and seals margins against microleakage
To record the digital data from monitoring instruments (standard patient monitor) containing cardiovascular system information, and from depth-of-anesthesia monitoring modules (Bispectral index, Entropy module, Surgical Plethysmography Index, Analgesia Nociception Index) containing neurological system information captured in the patient monitor, as well as the physiological data regarding anesthetic dosage, respiratory gas analysis and the standard monitoring requirement of anesthesia. The investigators also record the precise time points of detail surgical steps during the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Clinical data collected from these monitoring instrument will be used to gain more understanding of the complex interaction between anesthetic effect, surgical procedure, autonomic response and drug modeling. The goal is to obtain the performance of each monitoring index in detail surgical steps.
