Abstract Background Latest evidence suggests that periodontitis is prevalent among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), while recent studies have also reported a potential benefit of periodontal treatment on several COPD outcomes.This systematic review aims to determine the impact of periodontal treatment on exacerbation rate
Abstract In this paper we study a leptophilic dark matter scenario involving feeble dark matter coupling to the Standard Model (SM) and compressed dark matter-mediator mass spectrum.We consider a simplified model where the SM is extended with one Majorana fermion, the dark matter, and one charged scalar, the mediator, coupling to the SM leptons thr
Traditional considerations of justice for those who require caregiving have centered on what is due to the dependent person.However, considerations of justice also bear strongly on what is due to the caregiver.I focus on unpaid dependency work, too long treated as a private matter rather than a public concern.More is owed to those who render care:
The objectives of this experiment were to analyse physiological responses, such as oxidative burst reaction, peroxidase activity, and lignin content of healthy and S.rolfsii-infected peanut tissues.Differences in physiological responses among 24 mezquila brooklyn peanut genotypes were determined, the disease severity was calculated and used to grou
Abstract The working mechanism of resonant sensors is based on tracking the frequency shift in the linear vibration range.Contrary to the conventional paradigm, in this paper, we show that by tracking the dramatic frequency shift of the saddle-node bifurcation on the nonlinear parametric isolated branches in response to external forces, we can dram
