COMORBIDITY OF GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE DEFICIENCY AND SICKLE CELL DISEASE EXERT SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON RBC INDICES

Comorbidity of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Sickle Cell Disease Exert Significant Effect on RBC Indices

Background.Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) converts glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphogluconate in the pentose phosphate pathway and protects red blood cells (RBCs) from oxidative damage.Their deficiency therefore makes RBCs prone to haemolysis.Sickle cell disease (SCD) on the other hand is a hereditary blood disorder in which there is a s

Comparative measurement of short-term fluoride release and inhibition of caries around restoration by ion releasing restorative materials: an in vitro study

Abstract The main objective of the current study is to compare short-term fluoride release of three ion releasing restorative materials and assess their inhibitory effect on secondary caries.Materials used in this study included, Self-adhesive hybrid composite (group A), Ion releasing flowable composite liner (group B), and alkasite restorative mat
