Our results indicate that pain is the most common symptom and sinus tract and pus discharge are the two frequent signs of our 6 AM/RCs. The stratified squamous epithelial lining was either completely abolished (2 cases) or partially destroyed (4 cases) in 6 AM/RCs. Thus, if the endodontically-treated tooth shows a recurrent sinus tract and poor…[Read more]

Results indicate that riders’ familiarity with traffic regulations (FTR) is an extremely important variable mediating between the independent variables of riders’ educational level and age, and the dependent variables of helmet use and e-bike crashes. Improving riders’ FTR can consequently increase helmet use and decrease crash occurrence.…[Read more]

8%). Fifty-seven fighters were recommended for further ophthalmology clearance after the match. The most common reasons for recommended ophthalmology follow-up was orbital fracture (n=25, 44%) and retinal injury (n=7, 12%). Forty-three fighters received no-contact requirements relating to their injury for an average of 8.9 weeks (range 1-24…[Read more]

Given the recurrent risk of respiratory illness-based pandemics, and the important roles family physicians play during public health emergencies, the development of pandemic plans for primary care is imperative. Existing pandemic plans in Canada, however, do not adequately incorporate family physicians’ roles and perspectives. This policy and…[Read more]

The Edwards Intuity valve is a rapid deployment aortic prosthesis that favours less invasive approaches. However, evidence about the clinical behaviour of their smaller sizes is scarce. Herein, we studied haemodynamic behaviours and clinical outcomes of small Intuity prostheses (19-21 mm) in comparison to larger Intuity prostheses (…[Read more]

During a 2018 antimicrobial resistance surveillance of Escherichia coli isolates from diarrheal calves in Xinjiang Province, China, an unexpectedly high prevalence (48.5%) of fosfomycin resistance was observed. This study aimed to reveal the determinants of fosfomycin resistance and the underlying transmission mechanism. Polymerase chain reaction…[Read more]

Nine patients required re-operation six periprosthetic cyst debridement and grafting at a mean of 61months (range 27-91), one lateral gutter debridement, one periprosthetic fracture and one debridement for deep infection. PROMS data was available for the majority of patients. Mean final follow-up scores were total AOS 35 (range 0-97), MOX-FQ 36…[Read more]

003), having trust in healthcare providers (p = 0.000), and physical activity for gravida women with fear of childbirth (p = 0.000). CONCLUSION From the findings, special attention on the identified predictors of fear of childbirth during prenatal sessions would help in managing fear of childbirth before they give birth. Adaptive CD8+ T cells were…[Read more]

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease marked by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Aβ oligomers cause synaptic dysfunction early in AD by enhancing long-term depression (LTD; a paradigm for forgetfulness) via metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-dependent regulation of st…[Read more]
