Are dentin posts biomechanically intensive?: A laboratory and FEA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)The goal of this laboratory and finite elemental stress analysis (FEA) study was to compare fracture strength of dentin post (DP) with stainless steel and glass fiber posts. Single-rooted teeth were decoronated and restored ... -
Are soluble IL-2 receptor and IL-12p40 levels useful markers for diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy?
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Background: The differential diagnostic utilities of the levels of soluble interleukin (IL)-12p40 and the IL-2 receptor in sera and pleural effusions were evaluated in patients with exudative pleural effusions. Methods: ... -
Assessment of bone mineral density in patients with Sheehan's syndrome
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Introduction: The number of studies concerning bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with Sheehan's syndrome (SS) are scarce. We aimed to investigate the relationship between BMD and deficient hormones in patients with ... -
The assessment of cardiac function with tissue Doppler imaging in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the cardiac function of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia by conventional echocardiography and spectral tissue Doppler imaging (s-TDI) and to evaluate the relationship ... -
Discussing a new direction for design management through a new design management audit framework
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Design management has evolved from the simple view as the management of design projects and processes, to include more upstream responsibilities and skills, at the intersection of design and strategic management. Recent ... -
Do personality traits and shopping motivations affect social commerce adoption intentions? Evidence from an emerging market
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Social commerce has become a hot topic since the beginning of Web 2.0 era; however, relevant research is scarce in emerging economies. This study aims to fill this research gap and answer the main research question of ?what ... -
Does 2% chlorhexidine digluconate cavity disinfectant or sodium fluoride/hydroxyethyl methacrylate affect adhesion of universal adhesive to dentin?
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The objectives of this study were to investigate the adhesion of a universal adhesive used either in total-etch (TE) or self-etch (SE) mode with and without 2% chlorhexidine digluconate cavity disinfectant (CHX) or sodium ... -
Echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness is related to altered blood pressure responses to exercise stress testing
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)Objective. Hypertensive response at peak exercise and blunted blood pressure (BP) recovery, altered BP responses obtained from exercise stress testing, have been suggested as risk factors for future onset of hypertension ... -
Effect of metabolic syndrome on sexual function in pre- and postmenopausal women
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Female sexual dysfunction is a prevalent and multidimensional disorder related to many biological, psychological, and social determinants. The authors assessed the effect of one of the many factors affect sexual ... -
