Background: Unlike adults, primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) comprises only 1-2% of childhood nephrotic syndrome. The clinical behaviour of PMN in children is not explicit and we report upon clinical presentation and outcome.
Methods: This prospective study includes children and adolescents (< 20 years) with biopsy-proven PMN without secondary causes.
Background: Increased plasma adrenomedullin levels are usually observed in certain conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM).
Aims And Objectives: To gauge adrenomedullin values in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of healthy individuals, chronic periodontitis (CP) patients with and without DM, and diabetics without any periodontal involvement, prior and after periodontal therapy.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 subjects were segregated into four categories of 30 each: Group 1 (healthy subjects), Group 2 (CP without DM), Group 3 (patients with CP and DM), and Group 4 (diabetics without any periodontal involvement).
Objective: To measure the mechanical properties of several CAD/CAM materials, including lithium disilicate (e.max CAD), lithium silicate/zirconia (Celtra Duo), 3 resin composites (Cerasmart, Lava Ultimate, Paradigm MZ100), and a polymer infiltrated ceramic (Enamic).
Methods: CAD/CAM blocks were sectioned into 2.
Purpose: To compare the wear of an enhanced resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI) restorative material (ACTIVA BioACTIVE Restorative) to a resin composite (Filtek Supreme Ultra), RMGI (Fuji II LC), and glass-ionomer (GI) (Fuji IX) material.
Methods: Specimens of each material (n = 8) were prepared in a silicone mold. All specimens other than the GI material were light polymerized for 40 seconds.
