Streptococcus mutans carriage in the saliva of mothers and its association with dental caries and Streptococcus mutans carriage in the saliva of children between 6 and 30 months old in a low‐income setting in Karachi, Pakistan

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1523-1532, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Early childhood caries poses a significant health issue in children under 6 years old. It is determined that Streptococcus mutans is a primary etiological agent, likely to be transferred through maternal contact. Objectives To determine the association of maternal S. mutans counts with S.

Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1426-1433, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted

Modeling the Biophysical Effects in a Carbon Beam Delivery Line using Monte Carlo Simulation [PDF]

, 2016
Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) plays an important role in designing a uniform dose response for ion beam therapy. In this study the biological effectiveness of a carbon ion beam delivery system was investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. A carbon ion beam delivery line was designed for the Korea Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator (KHIMA) project.
