These results add support to the hypothesis that the accumulation of collagen seen in gingival overgrowth can be explained by a cyclosporin-induced inhibition of collagenolytic activity within the gingival tissues.
These data strongly suggest that future clinical studies investigating the role of IL-6 in periodontal disease must also determine the levels of sIL-6r within the periodontal tissues.
Myocardial reperfusion therapy performance measurement systems relying solely on mean time-to-reperfusion conceal true process performance, thereby obscuring quality improvement opportunities and strategies for improvement. Health care providers, purchasers, regulators, and other organizations interested in measuring and improving health care quality are encouraged to incorporate process capability analysis into their myocardial reperfusion therapy performance measurement and quality management systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
