Published: December 2008

A midinfrared laser spectrometer is built up based on the difference frequency generation (DFG) of a Nd:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser and a tunable Ti:sapphire (Ti:Sa) laser. Tuning the Ti:Sa laser and operating properly with the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal, the DFG emission is tunable in the spectral range of 2.3-5.0 microm. The 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser frequency is stabilized to the 10(-6) cm(-1) level on a Doppler-broadened I(2) absorption line at 532 nm. As a result, the DFG emission frequency is stabilized within 1x10(-4) cm(-1). The measurement of an absorption line of CH(4) near 3 mum demonstrates that the DFG spectrometer is very suitable for the molecular absorption line profile studies in the midinfrared region.

Incidence of postoperative pain after single-visit and multiple-visit root canal therapy: a systematic review.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, 600077, Tamil Nadu, India.

AIM- The objective of the systematic review is to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain after single-visit and multiple-visit root canal therapy. METHODS- Published research indexed in PubMed or Scopus or Cochrane or DOAJ or Web of Science evaluating the frequency percentage of postoperative aching after one and several root canal therapy appointments through randomized controlled trials or prospectively were included. RESULT- Most surveys utilized VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) to estimate the degree of pain among the participants.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and incidence of radiation-induced brain necrosis (RBN) after volumetric modulated arc therapy-based stereotactic irradiation (VMAT-STI) for brain metastases.

Methods: In the 220 brain metastatic lesions included between January 2020 and June 2022, there were 1-9 concurrently treated lesions (median 1). A biologically effective dose (BED)10 of 80 Gy and a reduced BED10 of 50 Gy were prescribed to the gross tumor volume (GTV) and planning target volume (PTV) (PTV = GTV + 3 mm) margins, respectively.

Background: Treponemal diseases are a significant global health risk, presenting challenges to public health and severe consequences to individuals if left untreated. Despite numerous genomic studies on Treponema pallidum and the known possible biases introduced by the choice of the reference genome used for mapping, few investigations have addressed how these biases affect phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of these bacteria. In this study, we ascertain the importance of selecting an appropriate genomic reference on phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of T.

Association between type of health insurance and dental visits among Ecuadorian older population: evidence from a cross-sectional study.

BMC Public Health

January 2025

Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud Eugenio Espejo, Universidad UTE, Centro de Investigación en Salud Pública y Epidemiología Clínica (CISPEC), Quito, Ecuador.

Background: Dental services are often overlooked within healthcare systems, despite their critical role in overall health. Socioeconomic barriers and disparities in insurance coverage frequently limit access to oral care, particularly among vulnerable populations like older adults.

Objective: To examine the impact of different health insurance types on the frequency of dental consultations among Ecuadorian senior citizens, aiming to highlight gaps in access to care.

Introduction: While risk factor prevalence of individual risk factors for dementia varies between ethnic groups in New Zealand (NZ), it is not known whether the effect of these risks is the same in each group.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified incident cases of dementia. Cox regression models calculated the hazard ratio for dementia for each of the risk factors, after adjustment for age and sex.
