1. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: The Role of Myocardial Deformation Indices and Right Ventricle Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
Abstract Background: Right ventricular dysfunction is a major complication in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and, despite its prognostic implications, is rarely considered in routine clinical analysis. Objectives: To compare RV function variables with standard and advanced echocardiographic techniques in patients with stable COPD and controls

2. Oral Candidal Carriage Among Patients with Oral Potential Malignant Disorders: A Case-Control Study
Abstract Objective: To determine the prevalence of Candida species in the saliva of patients with clinically suspected oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and healthy cohorts. Material and Methods: Unstimulated saliva was collected from patients with OPMD (n=100) and age and sex matched healthy subjects (n=170). The samples were inoculated onto Sab

3. Hand strength in patients with RA correlates strongly with function but not with activity of disease
Abstract Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints, especially of the hands. The evaluation of handgrip strength (HS) and pinch strength can be useful to detect reduction in hand function in RA patients. The aim of the study was to compare HS and pinch strength between RA patie

4. Effects of benzalkonium chloride and cyclosporine applied topically to rabbit conjunctiva: a histomorphometric study
RESUMO Objetivo: A instilação crônica de cloreto de benzalcônio, um conservante, tem efeitos inflamatórios na superfície ocular. No entanto, a adição do agente anti-inflamatório ciclosporina a um protocolo terapêutico pode atenuar esses efeitos. Este estudo comparou os efeitos tóxicos de uma solução de cloreto de benzalcônio a 0,1% e o possív

5. Salivary stress biomarkers and anxiety symptoms in children with and without temporomandibular disorders
Abstract The etiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which are considered as a heterogeneous group of psychophysiological disturbances, remains a controversial issue in clinical dentistry. This study aimed to evaluate whether the salivary alpha-amylase (sAA), cortisol levels, and anxiety symptoms differ between children with and without TMD. Initially

6. Partial nephrectomy for T3aN0M0 renal cell carcinoma: shall we step forward?
ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the prognosis of non-metastatic T3a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with partial nephrectomy (PN). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 125 patients with non-metastatic T3a RCC. Patients undergoing PN and radical nephrectomy (RN) were strictly matched by clinic-pathologic characteristics. Log-rank test and Cox regr

7. Reconstruction of gait biomechanical parameters using cyclograms and artificial neural networks
Abstract Introduction Historically, assessing the quality of human gait has been a difficult process. Advanced studies can be conducted using modern 3D systems. However, due to their high cost, usage of these 3D systems is still restricted to research environments. 2D systems offer simpler and more affordable solutions. Methods In this study, the gait of 4

8. Salivary density of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus and dental caries in children and adolescents with Down syndrome
Abstract Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are strongly associated with dental caries. However, the relationship between oral streptococci and dental caries in children with Down syndrome is not well characterized. Objective To assess and compare dental caries experience and salivary S. mutans, S. sobrinus, and streptococci counts between gro

9. Auditory Temporal Resolution in Individuals with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Abstract Introduction "Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by elevated blood sugar and abnormalities in insulin secretion and action" ( American Diabetes Association). Previous literature has reported connection between diabetes mellitus and hearing impairment. There is a dearth of literature on auditory temporal resolution ab

10. Temporal Resolution and Active Auditory Discrimination Skill in Vocal Musicians
Abstract Introduction Enhanced auditory perception in musicians is likely to result from auditory perceptual learning during several years of training and practice. Many studies have focused on biological processing of auditory stimuli among musicians. However, there is a lack of literature on temporal resolution and active auditory discrimination skills i

11. The Brief Kinesthesia test is feasible and sensitive: a study in stroke
BACKGROUND: Clinicians lack a quantitative measure of kinesthetic sense, an important contributor to sensorimotor control of the hand and arm. OBJECTIVES: The objective here was to determine the feasibility of administering the Brief Kinesthesia Test (BKT) and begin to validate it by 1) reporting BKT scores from persons with chronic stroke and a healthy

12. Specific alterations in plasma proteins during depressed, manic, and euthymic states of bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a common psychiatric mood disorder affecting more than 1-2% of the general population of different European countries. Unfortunately, there is no objective laboratory-based test to aid BD diagnosis or monitor its progression, and little is known about the molecular basis of BD. Here, we performed a comparative proteomic study to iden
