...Preventive Dentistry An in vitro evaluation of electric toothbrushes B. S. Khambay*/A. D. Walmsley^* Fotir cotnmercially avaiiable electric toothbrushes (Sonieare, Braun Electric Toothbrush, Interplak, and Blend-a-Dent) »ere assessed both for their operating characteristics and their ability to retnove a 'food debris " medium. The Sonieare and Blend-a-Dent have a lateral vibrator)' action, while the Interplak and Braun produce a rotary movement of the brush head. The vibratory action of the Sonieare was susceptible to loading. All devices produced both stable-pulsating cavitation and acoustic tnicrostreaming that was demonstrated in vitro using a suspension of particles in water Their effectiveness in removing a food debris medium was assessed with and without water Three of the brushes (Sonieare, Braun, and Blend-aDent) were simitar in their abllit}- to remove the placjue, and all were superior to the Interplak: its streaming forces removed no food debris. The results indicated that the Blend-a-Dent was the most effective brush design in vitro, although the differences between Blend-a-Dent and Sonieare were not statistically significant. (Quintessence Int 1995:26:841-848.) Introduction Electric toothbrushes have become established as an effective alternative to manual methods of toothbrushing. The mode of action of these brushes is designed to simulate manual methods and as such is attractive to the population as an easy and simple method of brushing teeth. The use...

They also evaluate the effectiveness of treatments. Their work is extremely important for many hospital departments and the functions they carry out are wide ranging. For example, they may work on medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, AIDS, malaria, food poisoning or anaemia, or carry out tests for emergency blood transfusions or to see if someone has had a heart attack. Biomedical scientists can work in three areas: infection sciences; blood sciences; and cellular sciences. Infection sciences include: •medical microbiology - identification of micro-organisms causing disease and their antibiotic treatment; •virology - identification of viruses, associated diseases and monitoring the effectiveness of vaccines. Blood sciences include: •clinical chemistry - analysis of body fluids and toxicology studies; •transfusion science - determination of donor/recipient blood compatibility, ensuring blood banks are sufficient; •haematology - form...

ISBN 978-0-692-00528-6 Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, Todd S. Ellenbecker, W. Ben Kibler TENNIS RECOVERY A Comprehensive Review of the Research A United States Tennis Association Sport Science Committee Project Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, PhD Todd S. Ellenbecker, DPT W. Ben Kibler, MD Introduction In the last two decades, physical training and competitive opportunities have increased dramatically in junior, collegiate and professional tennis. This arose due to a multitude of factors, but much of it has stemmed from an increase in knowledge and understanding of scientifically based training programs focused on improving performance. As this focus on performance has increased, the area of recovery has received relatively limited focus. Recovery is a multi-faceted paradigm focusing on recovery from training—session to session, day to day and week to week. Recovery is also vitally important during training as well as in competition between matches and between days during multi-day tournaments. As more information is needed in the area of tennis specific recovery, the Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sponsored an extensive evidence-based...
