LED-bed therapy of cardiovascular disorders: a volunteer study
2020
Studies of the physiological response of human half-body illumination by a specially designed bed comprising large number of LEDs emitting in the red and near infrared spectral range were carried out in a group of 32 volunteers comprising healthy subjects and hypertension patients. Blood pressure, heart rate and arterial blood oxygen saturation, as well as the bed surface temperature were continuously monitored during the measurement sessions with and without aluminum foil cover on the bed surface. None of the volunteers exhibited any notable changes in the heart rate and blood oxygenation during the procedures. The LightStim LED-bed session did not produce changes of arterial pressure in n…
A Comparison of Different Irrigation Systems and Gravitational Effect on Final Extrusion of the Irrigant
2015
Background: The aim of this study was to compare manual needle irrigation (MNI), RinsEndo (RE), and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), and assess the effect of gravity on extrusion from the apex in vitro. Material and Methods: The distobuccal roots of molars were used and the canals were instrumented up to F2. Teeth were mounted on models, which permitted visualization and manipulation of the apices for necessary procedures. The models were placed in articulator to simulate the jaw. Six groups (G) were formed as: G1, G2 and G3 represented mandibular positioning of teeth and were irrigated with MNI, RE, and PUI, respectively, while G4, G5, and G6 represented maxillary positioning of teeth …
