Background: Xerostomia leads to caries, infection and overall psychological discomfort.Salivary substitutes and pharmacological agents have been tried only with temporary relief.The use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been contemplated on by various researchers for treatment of xerostomia.We carried out the present review
Most of the proteins in a cell assemble into here complexes to carry out their function.It is therefore crucial to understand the physicochemical properties as well as the evolution of interactions between proteins.The Protein Data Bank represents an important source of information for such studies, because more than half of the structures are homo
Background and purpose: Antiemetic guidelines suggest daily prophylaxis with a serotonin3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3RA) as an option for patients receiving long-course neoadjuvant radiation therapy and concurrent 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for rectal cancer, despite the risks that 5-HT3RA-induced constipation may pose.We explored the inciden
Fruit prickles are widely distributed on the pericarp and exhibit polymorphic traits at different developmental stages.Although they are multicellular appendages that are well-known for helping plants defend against biotic and abiotic stresses, their origination and molecular mechanism are still less known.Here, we studied the origination and molec
