The use of NaOCl as an endodontic irrigant lowers the bond strength of resin cements but this can be reversed by the use of 10% sodium ascorbate for 10 min. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of time and concentration of ascorbate at restoring the bond strength. Group 1 roots were prepared using 0.9% NaCl as an irrigant; group 2 roots were irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl; group 3 roots were irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl followed by 10% ascorbate for 10 min; group 4 roots were irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl followed by 10% ascorbate for 3 min; group 5 roots were irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl followed by 10% ascorbate for 1 min; and group 6 roots were irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl followed by 20% ascorbate for 1 min. All roots were then filled with C&B Metabond, stored 1 day in water, and then cross-sectioned into 6 slabs, 1 mm thick, that were trimmed and tested for tensile bond strength. The results demonstrated that 5.25% NaOCl irrigation produced (p < 0.05) significant reduction in resin-dentin bond strengths, but this can be reversed by 10% ascorbate treatment for 1 min.

Euglenids are flagellates with diverse modes of nutrition, including the photosynthetic Euglenophyceae, which acquired plastids via secondary endosymbiosis with green algae, and a diverse assemblage of predators of bacteria and other microeukaryotes. Most heterotrophic euglenids have never been cultivated, so their morphology remains poorly characterized and limited to only a few studies. "Ploeotids" are a paraphyletic group representing much of the diversity of heterotrophic euglenids and are characterized by their feeding apparatus and a rigid pellicle of 10-12 longitudinally arranged strips.

Background: () is one of the microorganisms responsible for the pathology of root canals. We aimed in this study to determine the efficacy of two different pastes (calcium hydroxide combined with saline and calcium hydroxide combined with propolis) as a dressing material in eradicating from infected root canals.

Methods: Twenty extracted single-rooted and single-canalled first premolars randomly distributed into two equal groups of 10 teeth each.

Background: Achieving high vaccine coverage among clinicians is crucial to curb the spread of influenza. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), rooted in cultural symbols and concepts without direct parallels in modern Western medicine, may influence perspectives on vaccination. Therefore, understanding the preferences of TCM clinicians towards influenza vaccines is of great importance.

Background:Neurological deterioration following acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a common clinical phenomenon associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, neurological deterioration can be attributed to diverse mechanisms in different clinical contexts. Further, there is still a lack of standard and well-recognized definitions of neurological deterioration, which compounds the complexities and challenges of its early identification and management of neurological deterioration.
