The impact of saliva on plaque pH in vivo, following exposure to a sucrose substrate, was measured ten caries-resistant (CR) and caries-susceptible (CS) subjects under varying conditions salivary access. When the denied access saliva, minima reached by CR CS groups were comparable. As increased, observed increased significantly greater degree than subjects. This demonstrates major role that plays modifying pH, especially people.
Separately collected parotid and submaxillary salivary samples from 20 diabetic matched control subjects were analyzed for flow rate, electrolyte content immunoglobulin (IgA, IgG IgM) levels. Flow rates did not vary significantly between the two groups of subjects; calcium ion content, however, was higher in both glands. The presence IgI 6 10 patients also a significant finding. Any attempt to draw conclusion severity periodontal disease Diabetes Mellitus above findings is still speculative...
Abstract Background and objective Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global crisis, however, relatively little known regarding its impact in chronic respiratory disease the specific challenges faced by healthcare workers across world this field. We aimed to assess worker views on they face AMR disease. Methods An online survey was sent globally working through European Respiratory Society clinical research collaboration (AMR-Lung) focussed lung Responses from different geographic regions...
Severe pulmonary chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Few treatments influence outcome, with 5-year overall survival as low 13%. Lung transplantation (LTx) has been reported in small numbers patients worldwide.We investigated the outcomes LTx performed for this indication at 2 large Australian centers.Eighteen (aged 10-64 y; median, 29.6 y) received bilateral deceased lung transplants GVHD between...
Background Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is critical to lung health and impaired in many diseases. The path of MCC may have an important impact on but has never been rigorously studied. objective this study assess the three-dimensional human tracheal disease health. Methods Tracheal was imaged 12 ex-smokers, 3 non-smokers (1 opportunistically during acute influenza repeated after recovery) 5 individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Radiolabelled macroaggregated albumin droplets were...
A clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effect of daily use three disclosants, erythrosine, fast green and sodium fluorescein, compared a saline control, on subsequent plaque deposition. Twenty subjects refrained from all oral hygiene for four consecutive 7 day periods. Each subject rinsed each night with disclosing solution or as assigned according design using 5 restricted Latin Squares 4 each. At intervals, score (modified Quigley‐Hein, J. Periodontology, 41:41, 1970), weight...
Lung transplantation provides a realistic hope of improved survival and enhanced quality life. However, outcomes can be disappointing, meaning many decisions are highly controversial. Practice is largely based on expert opinion there dearth high-level evidence. Not surprisingly, this leads to centre-specific practices that may vary considerably in controversial areas. The aim review, therefore, explore some those domains present the available As science lung approaches its fifth decade, we...
Adequate salivary flow is important for patient comfort and maintenance of oral health. Xerostomia, or dry mouth, a common clinical complaint. Masticatory gustatory activity can stimulate from functional tissue the use sugarless mints gums have been recommended to individuals who complain xerostomia, but there are minimum data. A study assessing effect on rates dental plaque pH sorbitol‐sweetened chewing gum in subjects with complaint xerostomia was conducted. The this present stimulated...
<b>Introduction:</b> Impaired MCC contributes to the symptoms and pathophysiology of COPD. from large airways has been imaged in two dimensions measured by Tracheal Mucus Velocity (TMV), is reduced patients with COPD (Morgan et al, ERJ 2004). <b>Aim:</b> To image trachea 3-D accurately map mucus dynamics, as a prelude assessment pharmacological intervention on TMV <b>Methods:</b> 20 mild-moderate (mean FEV1=67%) participated. Patients were after 7-day washout their LAMA LABA, day 2 dose...
