The influence of occlusal conditions on stomatognathic function can be assessed by electromyography. Electromyographic activity left and right temporal masseter muscles was recorded in 30 young healthy adults with a normal occlusion during: (1) 3‐s maximum voluntary clench cotton rolls positioned the posterior teeth (standardization recording); (2) intercuspal position; (3) alternate ‘maximum’ contraction relaxation 1 Hz frequency. All potentials were standardized as percentage potential...

However, little is known about breakthrough infection and relevance DNAemia during prophylaxis. We reported results multicenter prospective study involving five Italian centers management 75 adult HCMV-seropositive allo-HSCTRs undergoing LMV The aim present was...

We performed a nationwide registry-based analysis to describe the clinical outcome of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who underwent an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-based treatment A total 441 were included in study. The median age at HSCT was 44 years (range, 18 70 years). All (100%) received TKI before (performed between 2005 and 2016). Of these patients, 404 (92%)...

SLE is an autoimmune disorder that involves polyclonal autoimmunity against multiple autoantigens. PTX3, a marker of the acute-phase inflammatory response, plays important role in innate immunity and modulation adaptive immune response. Our study tried to resolve some rather controversial aspects use PTX3 as biomarker disease activity patients. We demonstrated plasma concentration patients was significantly higher than healthy control groups reflected activity. ROC curve analysis used...
