flushing/dental caries

Local cooling of the brain by respiration has been found in several animal species with a rete mirabile in the carotid artery/cavernous sinus complex. The present experiment was made to investigate whether a similar cooling could be found in the rat, which does not have a rete. Eleven rats were

OBJECTIVE To develop a washing tube for minimally invasive treatment of sinus cavity pressure ulcer, and to observe its clinical effect. METHODS Using transparent non-toxic PU plastic to make sinus cavity flushing and drainage tube, and with rounded hemispherical blunt head for the entry of the

In 77 of 115 cultures from uterine/tubal flushes performed in women undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy for reasons of infertility, epithelioid colonies of "tadpole-like" cells appeared. In cultured jet washings from the uterine cavities in women with ligated tubes, the same tadpole-like cells are

OBJECTIVE Follicular fluid of mature oocytes is rich in growth factors and cytokines that may exert paracrine and autocrine effects on implantation. The aim of this study was to investigate if flushing the endometrial cavity with follicular fluid after oocyte retrieval improved pregnancy rates in

OBJECTIVE To evaluate differences in bacterial numbers, identity, and susceptibility in samples obtained from the tympanic cavity on entry (preflush) and after evacuation and lavage (postflush) and assess perioperative and empiric antimicrobial selection in dogs that underwent total ear canal

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of intrauterine injection of follicular fluid in in vitro fertilization (IVF). Materials and methods: A parallel randomized control clinical study was conducted on 110 patients attending Al-Zahra Educational-Medical Center of Tabriz University of

Concentrations of various proteins in uterine flushings have been described as a direct method for assessment of the secretory activity of the endometrium. We investigated levels of the endometrial protein known as placental protein 14 (PP14) in flushings obtained from 271 infertile women. Under

BACKGROUND Prolonged or excessive blood loss is a common complication after cardiac surgery. Blood remnants and clots, remaining in the pericardial space in spite of chest tube drainage, induce high fibrinolytic activity that may contribute to bleeding complications. Continuous postoperative

OBJECTIVE To determine the variation in concentration of endometrial protein PP14 in uterine flushings throughout the menstrual cycle comparing this to concentrations in plasma samples. METHODS Precise timing of all samples by the luteinising hormone surge. METHODS Jessop Hospital for Women,
