Objective: To investigate the relationship between combined hormonal contraception (CHC) and women’s sexual function with special emphasis on the type of progestin in the CHC Methods: A community sample of 252 healthy, sexually active women aged 18 to 35 completed a questionnaire including the Female…

Vacuum evaporated polycrystalline CdTe thin films were deposited on to glass substrates and optical parameters were determined by envelope technique. Thin films were characterized by optical transmission spectroscopy in the spectral range 290 - 1000 nm. The refractive index, extinction coefficient, optical conductivity and loss…

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine whether there is a relationship between third molar agenesis, and skeletal jaw morphology in sagittal and vertical planes. Materials and Methods: Records of 108 orthodontic patients were evaluated. Skeletal jaw variables (SNA, SNB and ANB angles,…

There are special considerations for intellectual property when considered in the context of cloud computing.  Innovations in the technological field of cloud computing are considered, with a focus on the availability of patent protection.  A claim drafting strategy is devised taking account of the characteristic…

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the balance of upper- and lower-lip-closing forces (LCF) during pursing-like lip-closing and lateral craniofacial morphology. Sixty-two females with malocclusion were subjected to lateral cephalography and divided into 3 groups (skeletal Classes I, II and III)…

This case report describes a fibrino-purulent necrotizing metritis in a two year old female French Bulldog that appeared after performing a caesarean section because of dystocia. Four days after performing C-section, the bitch was referred with severe metrorrhagia and dehiscence of the cutaneous incision. Metrorrhagia…

The structural characteristics of organic ammonium salts of the hexahalogenostannates (IV) with a general formula (R-NH3)3SnX6 have not yet been studied extensively. In the course of investigating these types of materials, the title compound, a double salt of adamantan-1-aminium chloride and hexahalogenostannate (IV), with the…

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently associated with coronary artery disease. Causal relation of nocturnal respiratory disorders to the onset of myocardial ischemia has been discussed controversially. Methods:Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) were enrolled in the present pilot study. Overnight polygraphy and 12-lead…

Four  known  dengue  virus  serotypes  have  been  identified, DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and  DENV-4.  About  50  million-infected  persons  occurs  each  year.  Adult  primary  infections  with  DENV-1  and  DENV-3  usually  result  in  dengue  fever  while  some  outbreak  with  DENV-2  infections  have  been  predominantly  subclinical.  Dengue  pulmonary  complications …

Metal(II) complexes of mixed ligands, Niacin (HL) and m-Toluic(HL1 ), have been synthesized and characterized by percentage metal, infrared and electronic spectroscopies, room temperature magnetic moments, melting points and conductance measurements. The metal analysis shows that the complexes analyze mostly as [M(HL)(HL1 )X].nH2O, where M…
