Soak and smear: An effective treatment for eczematous dermatoses

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 2015
AbstractEczematous dermatoses are common inflammatory skin diseases that can be difficult to treat and have a major impact on patients' quality of life and psychological status. Soak and smear is an effective treatment that can eliminate the need for oral steroids and, in chronic situations, other systemic immunosuppressives.

Effect of Removal of the Smear Layer on Apical Microleakage

Journal of Endodontics, 2001
It has been shown previously that the smear layer created during instrumentation of the root canal promotes apical microleakage. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of removal of the smear layer on apical microleakage, using the fluid filtration method. Thirty-six single-rooted human premolar teeth were used. Six of the teeth

Smear layer removal effects on apical leakage

Journal of Endodontics, 1986
Reliable techniques of smear layer formation and removal were developed. Thirty-four teeth with smear layers and 34 teeth without smear layers were tested in vitro to evaluate the effects on apical leakage. These teeth were obturated using Hydron or chloroform-softened gutta-percha master cones with sealer and lateral condensation. Apical leakage was

Effect of temporal envelope smearing on speech reception

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1994
The effect of smearing the temporal envelope on the speech-reception threshold (SRT) for sentences in noise and on phoneme identification was investigated for normal-hearing listeners. For this purpose, the speech signal was split up into a series of frequency bands (width of 1/4, 1/2, or 1 oct) and the amplitude envelope for each band was low-pass ...

Effects of spectral smearing on phoneme and word recognition

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996
The principal goal was to measure the effects, on speech perception, of loss of spectral detail in the acoustic signal. Spectral smearing was produced by multiplying the speech waveform by low-pass filtered noise. Performance was measured in normal adults as the percentage of phonemes correctly repeated in lists of monosyllabic words.

Dentin permeability: Effects of smear layer removal

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1981
The results of this study permit the following conclusions: 1. The use of dilute (6%) citric acid for very short time intervals permits sequential removal of the smear layer on human dentin. 2. Acid-etching for as little as 5 seconds removes much of the smear layer and exposes the orifices of dentinal tubules. 3.

Effects of Dilute Acetic Acid on the Cervical Smear

Acta Cytologica, 1997
To evaluate the effect of 5% acetic acid on the cells and cellular content of cervical smears.A randomized, controlled trial was performed with 42 patients in each group. The study group received acetic acid application to the cervix followed by a smear, while the sequence was reversed in the control group.

Effect of spectral envelope smearing on speech reception. II

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1992
This paper describes two experiments on the effect of reduced spectral contrast on the speech-reception threshold (SRT) for sentences in a background of interfering sound. Signal processing is performed by smoothing the envelope of the squared short-time fast Fourier transform by a convolution with a Gaussian-shaped filter, and overlapping additions to

The Elimination of a "Ribbing" Effect Observed in Cytologic Smears

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1958
Received, February 14, 1958; accepted for publication March 17. Or. Naylor is Instructor in Pathology and Cytologist. straight band of the smeared material is loosened; it folds upward in a hinge-like movement and adheres to the part of the smear immediately above it.

Effectiveness of the Papanicolaou Smear and Speculoscopy as Compared With the Papanicolaou Smear Alone: A Community-Based Clinical Trial

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1997
To evaluate the screening effectiveness of speculoscopy, a magnified chemiluminescent visual examination combined with the Papanicolaou smear as compared with the Papanicolaou smear alone.This was a prospective, practice-based study. The study participants were women aged 16-60 years who were regularly scheduled for Papanicolaou smears.
