Abstract
High concentrations of a contrast agent caused errors in the measurement of actual radiotracer reconstructed counts in phantoms. These errors could have important consequences for the use of oral and intravenous contrast in both diagnostic (qualitative) and dosimetric (quantitative) SPECT-CT imaging...

Abstract
During the 0- to 4-, 4- to 24-, and 24- to 48-hour intervals after treatment, the pain experience with the negative apical pressure device was significantly lower than when using the needle irrigation (p < 0.0001 [4, 24, 48 hours]). Between 0 and 4 and 4 and 24 hours, the intake of analgesics was si...

Abstract
Oscillation of the ultrasonically driven file toward the groove is more effective in removing dentin debris from the groove than oscillation perpendicular to the groove, which can be related to the fact that there is a high-velocity jet from the file tip in a single direction following the file osci...

Abstract
A statistically significant difference was evidenced among groups (F(3) = 9.01, p < 0.001). The standard irrigation groups (NaOCl 15 and 30) showed higher microbial counts than the EA 30 group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Thirty seconds of NaOCl subsonic agitation with EndoActivator appears to be slightl...

We found strong evidence of reduced discarding following the installation of drop boxes; drop boxes were associated with reductions of up to 98% (95% CI: 72-100%) and significant reductions for areas up to 200m from a drop box. Reductions were inversely proportional to walking distance from drop box...
