IMPORTANCE: Although the prevalence of untreated dental caries among Indigenous Australian children greatly exceeds the prevalence observed among non-Indigenous children, the associations of dental caries with risk factors is considered to be the same. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the association of modifiable risk factors…

HF reaction represents a selective method for the synthesis of aldehydes starting from alkenes. Because of versatile aldehydes reactivity, it is possible to perform different domino protocols based on contemporary HF, including Michael's reaction, reductive amination, cyclopropanation, lactonization, and many others. T…

Spigelian herniae rarely present as emergencies. There have been two cases requiring emergency surgery at this hospital within the last 5 years, representing 2.4% of all abdominal wall herniae requiring urgent treatment for strangulation.

The paper describes the results of 15 consecutive Russian clinical trials in the treatment of different types of acute leukemias, conducted by Russian cooperative group within the last 27-years and included more than 25 hundred patients. It was shown that the 5-years overall survival in AML younger than 60 years patien…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between dental behavior, dental anxiety, and personality attachment traits among a healthy young adult population. METHOD AND MATERIALS: The study population consisted of 450 young adults (18 to 19 years old) who arrived for dental screening before military service. The survey w…

The incidence of urothelial cancers in a group of 231 dyestuff plant workers who had been exposed to benzidine (BZ) or to beta-naphthylamine (BNA) was surveyed from 1962 to 1988. Fifteen out of 231 patients (6.5%) were found to have bladder cancer with the mean age at onset of 57.1 +/- 8.7 years. The estimated average…

To investigate the electroclinical findings in epilepsy children with epileptic negative myoclonus (ENM) restricted to the lower limb as the first seizure type.Each retrieved electroencephalogram record performed between March 2011 and March 2018 at the Department of Pediatrics of Peking University First Hospital was s…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With the return of international travels to almost prepandemic levels, the number of patients who travel abroad to seek healthcare services is once again growing rapidly.

For a long time the structural and molecular features of mammalian histidine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.22), the enzyme that produces histamine, have evaded characterization. We overcome the experimental problems for the study of this enzyme by using a computer-based modelling and simulation approach, and have now the con…

Dialysis patients are frequently transported to the emergency department (ED) by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) due to acute and severe illness. However, little is known about predictors of first and recurrent transport to the ED (EMS-ED), based on characteristics at the time of dialysis initiation.We analyzed a coho…

In this review 14 studies were identified reporting the treatment strategy in 4891 patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) with the aim to investigate if the strategy of treatment of the first episode of CLI has changed during the last 15-20 years.
