| layer thickness in rotational panoramic radiography: some specific aspects. | it is customary to define the thickness of the image layer in rotational panoramic radiography along the central ray of the x-ray beam. this results in calculated values which overestimate its thickness, especially in regions where the central ray deviates markedly from orthogonality. a supplementary definition is proposed which considers layer thickness in a direction perpendicular to the central plane of the image layer. this provides values which may be more easily related to the thickness of ... | 2009 | 2637877 |
| recurrence risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in siblings. | the recurrence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (nhb) in full siblings was studied in 3301 live infants born between 1966 and 1986 to 1669 male us army veterans who were part of a nationwide health study. the study population included 580 sibships with one infant, 679 with two, and 410 with three or more. hospital of birth medical records were abstracted on these children. neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was defined as present if the recorded peak bilirubin level was greater than 205 mumol/l in the ab ... | 2010 | 3177302 |

| subgingival microbial profiles of smokers with periodontitis. | the subgingival microbiome is largely uncultivated, and therefore, cultivation-based and targeted molecular approaches have limited value in examining the effect of smoking on this community. we tested the hypothesis that the subgingival biofilm is compositionally different in current and never-smokers by using an open-ended molecular approach for bacterial identification. subgingival plaque from deep sites of current and never-smokers matched for disease was analyzed by 16s sequencing. smokers ... | 2010 | 20739702 |
| osteoradionecrosis contains a wide variety of cultivable and non-cultivable bacteria. | direct microscopy, anaerobic culture and dna-dna hybridization have previously demonstrated an association between microorganisms and osteoradionecrosis (orn). the purpose of our study was to use culture independent molecular techniques to detect bacteria in necrotic bone lesions of the mandible after radiation therapy. | 2010 | 21523230 |
| cerebral perfusion pressure: a hemodynamic mechanism of mannitol and the postmannitol hemogram. | sixteen patients each received infusions of 1 g of mannitol per kg over 5 to 10 minutes, and serial determinations of intracranial pressure (icp), systemic arterial blood pressure (sabp), central venous pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure (cpp), hematocrit, hemoglobin, serum na+, k+, osmolarity, and fluid balance were carried out for 4 hours. urine output was replaced volume for volume with 5% dextrose in 0.45% nacl solution. we tested the hypothesis that patients with high (greater than or eq ... | 2010 | 3116451 |
