Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in the young: a spectrum or a distinct group? Part 1.
(2009)While most head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) occurs in older people, an increasing number of young patients are being affected worldwide, with up to 5.5% <40. These are predominantly oral and oropharyngeal cancers. ... -
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in the young: a spectrum or a distinct group? Part 2.
(2009)A recent increase in the number of young patients (often nonsmokers) developing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has been documented, however, there remains no clear evidence to support the significance of any ... -
Histone Acetylation as a Regenerative Target in the Dentine-Pulp Complex
(2020)If dental caries (or tooth decay) progresses without intervention, the infection will advance through the dentine leading to severe pulpal inflammation (irreversible pulpitis) and pulp death. The current management of ... -
A HOSPITAL OUTBREAK OF LINEZOLID-RESISTANT AND VANCOMYCIN-RESISTANT Enterococcus faecium HARBOURING AN optrA-ENCODING CONJUGATIVE PLASMID INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING
(2020)Background: Linezolid is an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by multi-drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Linezolid resistance in enterococci has been reported with increasing frequency, with a recent rise in ... -
How do implant surface characteristics influence peri-implant disease?
(John Wiley and Sons, 2011)Objectives: To review the literature on how implant surface characteristics influence peri-implant disease. Material and Methods: A search of PubMed and The Cochrane Library of the Cochrane Collaboration (CENTRAL) as ... -
IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE GENE cfr IN PANTON-VALENTINE LEUKOCIDIN-POSITIVE ST8-METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus-IVa (USA300)
(2010)The staphylococcal cfr gene mediates resistance to phenicols, lincosamides, oxazolidinones, pleuromutilins, and streptogramin A, a phenotype that has been termed PhLOPSA. The cfr gene has mainly been associated with ... -
IMMERSION OF DEBRIDED DIABETIC FOOT ULCER (DFU) TISSUE IN ELECTROCHEMICALLY GENERATED PH NEUTRAL HYPOCHLOROUS ACID SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES THE MICROBIAL BIOBURDEN: WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING OF Staphylococcus aureus, THE MOST PREVALENT SPECIES RECOVERED
(2023)Background: Diabetic foot ulcer infections (DFUIs) are the leading cause of lower limb amputations, mediated predominantly by Staphylococcus aureus. pH neutral electrochemically-generated hypochlorous acid (anolyte) is a ... -
Impact of pulpectomy versus tooth extraction in children's oral health-related quality of life: A randomized clinical trial
(2023)Aim: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the impact of two management options for primary molars with pulp necrosis (pulpectomy or extraction) on children's oral health-related quality of life ... -
The importance of repulsive potential barriers for the dispersion of graphene using surfactants
(2010)We have dispersed graphene in water, stabilized by a range of 12 ionic and non-ionic surfactants. In all cases, the degree of exfoliation, as characterized by flake length and thickness, was similar. The dispersed flakes ... -
Improving the standard of the standard for glass ionomers: an alternative to the compressive fracture strength test for consideration?
(2012)Objectives: Three strength tests (compressive, three point flexure and biaxial) were performed on three glass ionomer (GI) restoratives to assess the most appropriate methodology in terms of validity and reliability. The ... -
An in vivo comparison of bacterial microleakage in two dental implant systems: identification of a pathogenic reservoir in dental implants
(2015)Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare internal bacterial colonization in two implant systems, one screw root form (SRF) with an external hexagon connection and one plateau root form (PRF) with a Morse taper ... -
Induction of apoptosis in oral squamous carcinoma cells by pyrrolo-1,5-benzoxazepines.
(2015)Oral cancer (OC) is a largely asymptomatic disease, resulting in one of the highest mortality rates of any cancer. OC is currently ranked as the sixth most common cancer in the world, according to a recent World Health ... -
Is Eminectomy Effective in the Management of Chronic Closed Lock?
(2020)Purpose: This study assesses the effectiveness of eminectomy in the management of chronic closed lock, refractory to conservative medical management in the largest multicentred study of its kind in the UK, with a cohort ... -
Is it worth using low-cost glass ionomer cements for occlusal ART restorations in primary molars? 2-year survival and cost analysis of a Randomized clinical trial
(2020)Objective: To evaluate the 2-year survival rate and the cost-effectiveness of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) using three different glass ionomer cements (GICs) for restoring occlusal dentin caries lesions in primary ... -
LACK OF CYTOTOXICITY BY TRUSTWATER ECASOL? USED TO MAINTAIN GOOD QUALITY DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE OUTPUT WATER IN KERATINOCYTE MONOLAYER AND RECONSTITUTED HUMAN ORAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE MODELS
