Accuracy Of The Newtom 3g™ In Measuring The Angle Of The Articular Eminence, Rehana Khan
Accuracy Of The Newtom 3g™ In Measuring The Angle Of The Articular Eminence, Rehana Khan
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the Newtom 3G™ in determining the angulation of the articular eminence. The benefits of conducting this study were to provide additional uses for the standard records that are taken for the purposes of orthodontic treatment, as well as evaluate the Newtom 3G™ for accuracy in measuring the anatomy of the glenoid fossa. This study required 20 participants that volunteered to allow their records to be used. Records evaluated were the Newtom 3G™, impressions, and wax check bite registrations. The wax record was taken using the 'forced bite' technique to …
The Outcome Of Mta As A Root End Filling Material: A Long Term Evaluation, Christopher M. Sechrist
The Outcome Of Mta As A Root End Filling Material: A Long Term Evaluation, Christopher M. Sechrist
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Periradicular surgery is a viable option to save natural teeth when non-surgical treatment fails or when endodontic retreatment is not feasible or contraindicated. Laboratory and animal studies have demonstrated that MTA is biocompatible, provides an excellent seal against penetrating bacteria, and promotes hard tissue healing. The purpose of this study was to provide long term (>3 years) clinical evidence for its use as a root-end filling material in endodontics. The clinical records of 294 patients who had MTA used during endodontic treatment from 1996 to 2001 were reviewed. From these, 75 patients whose root end cavities had been filled …
Prognosis Of Stage Ii Colon Cancer By Non-Neoplastic Mucosa Gene Expresssion Profiling, Alain Barrier, Sandrine Dudoit, Et Al.
Prognosis Of Stage Ii Colon Cancer By Non-Neoplastic Mucosa Gene Expresssion Profiling, Alain Barrier, Sandrine Dudoit, Et Al.
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Aims. This study assessed the possibility to build a prognosis predictor, based on non-neoplastic mucosa microarray gene expression measures, in stage II colon cancer patients. Materials and Methods. Non-neoplastic colonic mucosa mRNA samples from 24 patients (10 with a metachronous metastasis, 14 with no recurrence) were profiled using the Affymetrix HGU133A GeneChip. The k-nearest neighbor method was used for prognosis prediction using microarray gene expression measures. Leave-one-out cross-validation was used to select the number of neighbors and number of informative genes to include in the predictor. Based on this information, a prognosis predictor was proposed and its accuracy estimated by …
Colon Cancer Prognosis Prediction By Gene Expression Profiling, Alain Barrier, Sandrine Dudoit, Et Al.
Colon Cancer Prognosis Prediction By Gene Expression Profiling, Alain Barrier, Sandrine Dudoit, Et Al.
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Aims. This study assessed the possibility to build a prognosis predictor, based on microarray gene expression measures, in stage II and III colon cancer patients. Materials and Methods. Tumour (T) and non-neoplastic mucosa (NM) mRNA samples from 18 patients (9 with a recurrence, 9 with no recurrence) were profiled using the Affymetrix HGU133A GeneChip. The k-nearest neighbour method was used for prognosis prediction using T and NM gene expression measures. Six-fold cross-validation was applied to select the number of neighbours and the number of informative genes to include in the predictors. Based on this information, one T-based and one NM-based …
Simulations Of Nanopore Formation And Phosphatidylserine Externalization In Lipid Membranes Subjected To A High-Intensity, Ultrashort Electric Pulse, Q. Hu, R. P. Joshi, K. H. Schoenbach
Simulations Of Nanopore Formation And Phosphatidylserine Externalization In Lipid Membranes Subjected To A High-Intensity, Ultrashort Electric Pulse, Q. Hu, R. P. Joshi, K. H. Schoenbach
Bioelectrics Publications
A combined MD simulator and time dependent Laplace solver are used to analyze the electrically driven phosphatidylserine externalization process in cells. Time dependent details of nanopore formation at cell membranes in response to a high-intensity (100kV∕cm), ultrashort (10ns) electric pulse are also probed. Our results show that nanosized pores could typically be formed within about 5ns. These predictions are in very good agreement with recent experimental data. It is also demonstrated that defect formation and PS externalization in membranes should begin on the anode side. Finally, the simulations confirm that PS externalization is a nanopore facilitated event, rather than the …
Symptoms Of Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease And The Severity Of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome Are Not Related In Sleep Disorders Center Patients, H.-N. Kim, R. D. Vorona, M. P. Winn, M. Doviak, D. A. Johnson, J. Catesby Ware
Symptoms Of Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease And The Severity Of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome Are Not Related In Sleep Disorders Center Patients, H.-N. Kim, R. D. Vorona, M. P. Winn, M. Doviak, D. A. Johnson, J. Catesby Ware
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
Background: Studies suggest obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) frequently manifests in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and that there may be a causal relationship.
Aim: To determine the relationship between OSAS and symptoms of GERD.
Methods: Consecutive patients referred to the Sleep Disorders Center (SDC) 18 years and older with polysomnographically defined OSAS were evaluated prospectively for GERD using a validated symptoms questionnaire. The GERD and OSAS relationship was assessed by 1) determining frequency of GERD in patients with and without OSAS; 2) ascertaining the relationship between OSAS severity categories and presence of GERD; 3) examining GERD score in …
A Comparison Of Esomeprazole And Lansoprazole For Control Of Intragastric Ph In Patients With Symptoms Of Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease, D. A. Johnson, T. Stacy, M. Ryan, T. Wootton, J. Willia, K. Hornbuckle, W. Brooks, M. Doviak
A Comparison Of Esomeprazole And Lansoprazole For Control Of Intragastric Ph In Patients With Symptoms Of Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease, D. A. Johnson, T. Stacy, M. Ryan, T. Wootton, J. Willia, K. Hornbuckle, W. Brooks, M. Doviak
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
Background: Intragastric acid suppression is the most direct measure of the pharmacodynamic efficacy of proton pump inhibitors, which are the most effective drugs for acid-related diseases.
Aim: To compare the effectiveness of once and twice daily dosing of lansoprazole and esomeprazole in controlling intragastric acidity ( target gastric pH > 4.0) over a 24-hour period.
Methods: In an open-label, two-way crossover study, 45 Helicobacter pylori-negative patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease were randomized to receive one of two regimens: 30 mg lansoprazole or esomeprazole 40 mg once daily. Intragastric pH was assessed by 24-hour pH monitoring on day 5 of each regimen. …
