The impact of stroke public awareness campaigns differs between sociodemographic groups
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-04-20)
Background:
Prehospital delays are a major obstacle to timely reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke. Stroke sign recognition, however, remains poor in the community. We present an analysis of repeated surveys to ...
Long-term randomized clinical trial evaluating the effects of fixture surface acid-etching and machined collar design on bone healing
(Quintessence International Publishing Group, 2018)
Objectives: An implant with an acid-etched fixture surface and internal-hex collar may achieve greater osseointegration. The goal of this research was to study the effects on long-term bone healing of fixture surface ...
Detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum in feces and colorectal mucosa as a risk factor for colorectal cancer : a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BMC, 2020-12-03)
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Accumulating evidence
suggests a potentially important role of colorectal infection with Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) in
colorectal ...
Prospective randomized clinical trial evaluating the effects of two different implant collar designs on peri‐implant healing and functional osseointegration after 25 years
(Wiley, 2020-12-14)
Objectives
Evaluate the effects of two different machined‐collar lengths and designs on peri‐implant healing.
Material and Methods
An implant with a microtextured surface and 3.6mm‐long internal‐connection machined ...
TGF-beta superfamily and limb regeneration : TGF-beta to start and BMP to end
(Wiley, 2021-06-07)
Axolotls represent a popular model to study how nature solved the problem of regenerating lost appendages in tetrapods. Our work over many years focused on trying to understand how these animals can achieve such a feat and ...
Intraosseous Schwannoma of the Jaws: An Updated Review of the Literature and Report of 2 New Cases Affecting the Mandible
(2017)
Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath neoplasms composed almost entirely of
Schwann cells. These tumors most often arise in the soft tissues of the head and neck.
However, seldom do they occur within bone. This article ...
Cariology education in Canadian dental schools: where are we? Where do we need to go?
(2017)
The aim of this study was to document cariology education across Canadian dental schools. Ten faculty members
who supervise cariology education at each of the ten Canadian dental schools were invited to participate in the ...
Ion homeostasis in rhythmogenesis : the interplay between neurons and astroglia
(2015-09)
Proper function of all excitable cells depends on ion homeostasis. Nowhere is this more critical than in the brain where the extracellular concentration of some ions determines neurons' firing pattern and ability to encode ...
Neonatal low-protein diet reduces the masticatory efficiency in rats
(2015-09)
Little is known about the effects of undernutrition on the specific muscles and neuronal circuits involved in mastication. The aim of this study was to
document the effects of neonatal low-protein diet on masticatory ...
