Selected Literature (selected + literature)
Selected AbstractsEffect of selected literature on dentists' decisions to remove asymptomatic, impacted lower third molarsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORAL SCIENCES, Issue 1 2002Wil J. M. Van Der Sanden The aim of this study was to assess the effect of studying selected literature on dentists' decisions to remove asymptomatic, impacted lower third molars. A pre-test,post-test control group design was used. Given 36 patient cases, two groups of 16 general dental practitioners each were asked to assess the need for removal of asymptomatic impacted lower third molars. The cases were classified by three parameters: ,position of the third molar', ,impaction type', and ,patient age'. After studying selected literature on this subject by the intervention group, both groups were asked to assess the same cases again. Frequencies of decisions to remove the third molars were calculated. For each participant, tables were composed by crosstabulating the indication to remove a third molar with each of the three parameters. T -tests were used to test the significance of the difference between pre-test and post-test decisions. The overall number of indications to remove asymptomatic, impacted lower third molars decreased by 37% in the intervention group. In the control group, the difference between pre- and post-test was not statistically significant. It was concluded that the provision of selected literature significantly influences treatment decision making by dentists in a third molar decision task. [source] Nitrogen-Rich Compounds of the Lanthanoids: Highlights and SummaryHELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 2 2010Georg Steinhauser Abstract In this third part of our research on the 5,5,-azobis[1H -tetrazol-1-ides] (ZT) of the lanthanoids, we present two compounds with La2(ZT)3 moieties with very different coordination modes between the cations and the anions. One La2(ZT)3 -containing compound is interesting, because it contains trimeric La3(ZT)3III cations, which are arranged in a windmill-like structure. Moreover, the first double salt of a ZT compound, namely the carbonate compound La2(ZT)2(CO3),12 H2O, is presented and discussed. Another highlight of nitrogen chemistry is the first molecular structure of a 5-azido-2H -tetrazole (CHN7) molecule, in the form of the spectacular compound Dy2(ZT)3,4 CHN7,24 H2O. This is the first known complete molecular structure of an azidotetrazole molecule (the organic molecule with the highest nitrogen-content: 88.3% N). All compounds have been characterized completely including elemental analyses, vibrational (IR and Raman) spectroscopy, and X-ray crystal-structure determination. We summarize our ,nitrogen-rich compounds of the lanthanoids' project and extensively discuss selected literature on this topic and compare previously published results with ours. [source] Multiple meanings of self harm: A critical reviewINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, Issue 3 2003Margaret McAllister ABSTRACT: The issue of self harm is a popular inclusion in various contemporary journals focusing on health and in particular women's health. This paper seeks to condense, critically analyse and more simply explain selected literature in order to raise awareness of the multiple ways of understanding self harm. Raised awareness may be a useful strategy in thinking about self harm in novel ways and thus providing alternate pathways for responding to the individual and society. [source] | ||||||||||
