The Association between Gly460Trp-Polymorphism of Alpha-Adducin 1 Gene (ADD1) and Arterial Hypertension Development in Ukrainian Population by Svitlana Yermolenko, Yaroslav Chumachenko, Viktor Orlovskyi, Irina Moiseyenko, Oleksandr Orlovskyi

“…It is suggested that one of the salt-sensitive arterial hypertension potential markers may be the alpha-adducin gene because its protein product is involved in the ion transport regulation in the renal epithelium. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the association between ADD1 Gly460Trp-polymorphism and the AH development risk among patients with different risk factors in the Ukrainian population. …”

Value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosis of Dentigerous Cyst by Antonione Santos Bezerra Pinto, André Luiz Ferreira Costa, Neiandro dos Santos Galvão, Thásia Luiz Dias Ferreira, Sérgio Lúcio Pereira de Castro Lopes

“…Odontogenic cysts have a high prevalence in the dental clinic population, with dentigerous cyst being one of the most frequent ones and whose aetiology involves accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. In the diagnostic process of these lesions, one should consider complementary imaging exams such as conventional radiography and computed tomography, which are commonly used for providing anatomical information on the tissues compromised by the lesion, but not on the nature of it. …”
