Introduction: the classification systems with standardized languages are established in a set of structured knowledge, concepts founded in a logical and coherent way, based on their similarities.In this sense, identifying a profile with the populations can cooperate for a better definition and situational understanding for that unit and/or patients
Fluoride resistance in Streptococcus mutans: a mini review
For decades, fluoride has been used extensively as an anti-caries agent.It not only rjr-00001 protects dental hard tissue, but also inhibits bacterial growth and metabolism.The antimicrobial action of fluoride is shown in three main aspects: the acidogenicity, acidurance, and adherence to the tooth surface.To counteract the toxic effect of fluoride
Geometry, Allometry and Biomechanics of Fern Leaf Petioles: Their Significance for the Evolution of Functional and Ecological Diversity Within the Pteridaceae
Herbaceous plants rely on a combination of turgor, ground tissues and geometry for mechanical support of leaves and stems.Unlike most angiosperms however, ferns employ a sub-dermal layer of fibers, known as a hypodermal sterome, for support of their leaves.The sterome is nearly ubiquitous in ferns, but nothing is known about its role in leaf biomec
Proposing A Key Performance Indicator For Security Response Time Within A Healthcare Facility
INTRODUCTION The safety of patients and property in healthcare settings is directly influenced by security response time, yet this critical aspect is often overlooked.In this article, we aim to address this gap by presenting a proposed key performance indicator (KPI) for security response times.METHODS To develop the proposed KPI, we followed a sys
