The widespread adoption of face masks is now a standard public health response to the 2020 pandemic. Although studies have shown that wearing a face mask interferes with speech and intelligibility, re…
PURPOSE: Previous studies of optical interference from the whole thickness of the precorneal tear film showed much lower contrast than from the pre-contact lens tear film. It is hypothesized that the …
Mycolactone A/B is a lipophilic macrocyclic polyketide that is the primary virulence factor produced by Mycobacterium ulcerans, a human pathogen and the causative agent of Buruli ulcer. In M. ulcerans…
Trophozoites of Giardia duodenalis group obtained from fragments or scratched of hamster's mucosa were examined by transmission electron microscopy. The fine structure of the trophozoites are presente…
The initial reactions of two TiO2 surfaces with blood were investigated by short-time exposure to capillary blood and analysis of surface-adsorbed plasma proteins and surface-adhering cells by using i…
BACKGROUND: Several intracranial pathologies present as a ring-enhancing lesion on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), creating diagnostic difficulty. We studied the characteristics of the …
Participants manually explored 47 solid, fluid, and granular materials and rated them according to a list of sensory and affective attributes. In principal component analyses (PCA) of sensory ratings,…
PURPOSE: The aim was to evaluate the effect of maternal use of chewing gums containing xylitol, chlorhexidine/xylitol or fluoride on the prevalence of mutans streptococci (MS) in the mothers' 18-month…
The effect of background loading on magnitude estimation of added elastic and resistive inspiratory loads was determined. An analogous study involving estimation of the heaviness of weights in the han…
The aim of this investigation was to determine the effects of sham feeding food that was perceived as unappetizing on the cephalic-vagal reflex as measured by changes in gastric myoelectric activity. …
A somatosensory potential that is evoked by transient added inspiratory load has previously been described (Davenport PW, Friedman WA, Thompson FJ, and Franzen O. J Appl Physiol 60: 1843-1848, 1986). …
PURPOSE: This theoretical study aimed to identify the decisive (and controllable) factors involved in Streptococcus mutans (Sm) infection through addressing questions about (i) the time and prevalence…
In this methodological, pilot study the usefulness of computer aided photograph analyses (CAPA) was tested for the demonstration of intraoral tissue changes, registered by standardized, clinical close…
Application of chromatographic separation and taste dilution analyses recently revealed besides procyanidins a series of N-phenylpropenoyl amino acids as the key contributors to the astringent taste o…
A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror based endoscopic swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system that can perform three-dimensional (3-D) imaging at high speed is reported. The…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of alar base cinch suture in Le Fort I osteotomy in mandibular prognathism with and without asymmetry.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty pati…
