IntroductionThis study compared the ability of different approaches to supplement the antibacterial effects of chemomechanical preparation in oval-shaped root canals.MethodsLong oval canals from extracted teeth infected with Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212) were chemomechanically prepared up to a 40/04 rotary BioRaCe instrument using 2.5% NaOCl irrigation and then subjected to two supplementary protocols. In the passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI)/chlorhexidine (CHX) group, canals were subjected ...

This paper explores how Latent Class Models (LCM) can be applied in social research, when the basic assumptions of regression models cannot be validated. We examine the usefulness of this method with data collected from a study on the relationship between bridging social capital and the Internet. Social capital is defined here as the resources that are potentially available in one's social ties. Bridging is a dimension of social capital, usually related to weak ties (acquaintances), and a source of ...

Older adults (aged 65+) are still less likely to adopt the Internet when compared to other age groups, although their usage is increasing. To explore the societal effects of Internet usage, scholars have been using social capital as an analytical tool. Social capital pertains to the resources that are potentially available in one's social ties. As the Internet becomes a prominent source of information, communication, and participation in industrialized countries, it is critical to study how it affects ...

Cocoa shell was evaluated as a precursor for cellulose nanofibrils (NFCs) using mechanical defibrillation. Its morphology was analysed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with field emission. Rheological and mechanical behaviour were evaluated through flow curves with a strain rate ranging from 0 to 300 s−1 at 25 °C and by means of oscillatory frequency sweeps (0.01 Hz–10 Hz) and shear stress (3 Pa). The thermal-mechanical behaviour was determined by a temperature sweep with a ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause cell damage and death. To reverse these effects, cells produce substances such as reduced glutathione (GSH) that serve as substrates for antioxidant enzymes. One way to combat microbial resistance includes nullifying the effect of glutathione in microbial cells, causing them to die from oxidative stress. The compound 2-((5-nitrothiophen-2-yl)methylene)-N-(pyridin-3-yl) hydrazine carbothioamide (L10) is a new thiophene-thiosemicarbazone derivative with promising antifungal ...

Pectus carinatum (PC) is a chest deformity caused by a disproportionate growth of the costal cartilages compared to the bony thoracic skeleton, pulling the sternum towards, which leads to its protrusion. There has been a growing interest on using the ‘reversed Nuss’ technique as a minimally invasive procedure for PC surgical correction. A corrective bar is introduced between the skin and the thoracic cage and positioned on top of the sternum highest protrusion area for continuous pressure. Then, it ...

Net shape parts for application in room-temperature magnetic refrigeration have been produced in only 8 h of heat treatment which is considerably faster than the conventional ingot homogenization heat treatment of 7 days. The samples produced by HDSH showed higher amounts of hydrogen than the parts hydrogenated by the conventional method of thermal homogenization ( ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the most prevalent human pathogens causing millions of deaths in the last years. Moreover, tuberculosis (TB) treatment has become increasingly challenging owing to the emergence of multidrug resistant M. tuberculosis strains. Thus, there is an immediate need for the development of new anti-TB drugs. Proteases appear to be a promising approach and may lead to shortened and effective treatments for drug-resistant TB. Although the M. tuberculosis genome predicts ...

Oligopeptidases B (OPB) belong to the S9 prolyl oligopeptidase family and are expressed in prokaryotes, some eukaryotes and in some higher plants. OPB is not found in any of the mammalian genomes available to date. Evidences indicate that OPB participates in the infections caused by trypanosomatids Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania spp. and Trypanosoma brucei spp and therefore it is considered an important virulence factor. Trypanosomatids from the genera Leishmania and Trypanosoma also present other ...
