Evaluation of the muscle activity of masseter in tooth borne partial denture wearers (class III modification 1 Kennedy's classification) with two different denture base materials (Breflex and PEEK) by means of electromyograph.
The purpose of this study is to determine if dry needling (DN) and soft tissue mobilization (STM) is superior to standard treatment protocol for affecting pain, pain medication usage and measurements of range of motion (ROM) after ACL reconstruction surgery compared to a standard treatment protocol. Measurements of pain, pain medication usage, lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) and ROM will be taken day 2 post op and 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks post op. It is hypothesized that the inclusion of DN and STM will acutely decrease the demand for pain medication and improve objective measurements when compared to a standard treatment protocol. Findings will potentially lead to insights as to the benefit of applying these interventions to help decrease the demand for pain medication post-surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in activity of transporters of H+ (monocarboxylate transporters; MCT1, MCT4, NHE) following sodium bicarbonate supplementation and subsequent exercise performance. Fifteen healthy men (age 18-35 years) will be invited to attend the laboratory on five separate visits to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Participants will be supplemented with a 0.3 g/kg dose of sodium bicarbonate or placebo (Analytical Pharmacy, Brazil) in opaque gelatin capsules. One hour after supplementation they will perform a 1-km time trial and every 10 minutes a blood sample will be collected. A muscle biopsy will be taken prior to supplementation, immediately prior to exercise, and immediately post-exercise. A questionnaire will be also used to evaluate the side-effects associated with sodium bicarbonate supplementation. Muscle and blood samples will be analysed for acidity and H+ and muscle samples will be analysed for H+ transporters (MCT1, MCT4, NHE).
- Prospective, multi-center single-arm observational study - A total of 100 subjects with femoropopliteal artery disease who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included. - Patients will be followed clinically for 12 months after the procedure. - An imaging study (duplex ultrasound, CT or catheter-based angiography) follow-up according to participating hospital's protocol will be performed at 12 months. - Ankle-brachial index, symptom status and presence of stent fracture will be evaluated at 12 months.
Both left single lung ventilation by left double lumen tube and bilateral ventilation with selective blockage of right middle lower lobe by bronchial blocker can provide suitable surgical field for minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The current study was designed to compare the impact of these two different methods on oxygenation, degree of pulmonary collapse and postoperative complications.

Umbilical Cord Entanglement and Perinatal Outcomes.
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) occurs after women undergo in vitro fertilization and have multiple embryos transferred but no resulting pregnancies. RIF is a very challenging clinical entity for the reproductive physician and the patient. In fact, there is not even an agreed upon definition in the medical community. Many potential causes have been investigated over the past several years but no clear answer has emerged. Interest has recently turned to the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus. Studies have shown that the genes that are turned on in the endometrium vary based on how long this tissue has been exposed to progesterone, an important hormone that prepares the uterine lining for implantation of the growing embryo. In some women, it seems that they require longer periods of progesterone exposure to reach the same state of readiness. We hypothesize that an even larger proportion of women in RIF population will require longer treatments with progesterone. In this study, we will randomize women with RIF who are about to undergo a frozen embryo transfer to one of two groups. The first group will have their embryo transfer done on the standard sixth day of progesterone treatment. The other group will have their transfer done on the seventh day of progesterone. We will be comparing the clinical pregnancy rate of the two groups as well as the live birth rate and miscarriage rate. We expect that extending the progesterone treatment by one day will increase the pregnancy rate of women with RIF.
This is a prospective study which aims to explore the effect of Trimetazidine on the improvement of coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with INOCA (ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease). Enrolled patients will be assessed SAQ(Seattle Angina Score), Canadian Angina Grade(Canadian Cardiovascular Society, CCS), Six-Minute Walk Test, CFR(coronary flow reserve) .CFR inspection with D-SPECT and pressure guide wire.Patients will receive six months Trimetazidine(35mg tid) after enrollment. And their SAQ (Seattle Angina Score), Canadian Angina Grade(Canadian Cardiovascular Society, CCS), Six-Minute Walk Test, CFR will be followed up.
