Background: Pain is one of the most reported side effects of orthodontic treatment despite the advanced technology in orthodontics. Many analgesics have been introduced to control orthodontic pain including acetaminophen and selective and nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The great concern about these drugs is their adverse effect on rate of teeth movement.

Methods: Forty patients were evenly and randomly distributed in a blinded way to one of four groups: placebo (starch capsules), acetaminophen 500mg th

Laue back reflection patterns for quartz crystal are indexed by using Orient Express- program to simulate orientation of single crystals from assignment of principle zones. An oriented quartz single crystal was used as a substrate to deposit Zn metal by controlled thermal evaporation to achieve single crystal films of Zn that are subsequently evaluated by x-ray powder diffraction.

Introduction : Astrocytomas are the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system,the distinction between them relies mainly on both genetic and histological criteria. However, diagnosis absolutely based on histology has a high interobserver variations and remains problematic even for an experienced neurological pathologist. The objective of this study: To assess the immunohistochemical expression of Ki67 as proliferative markers to study proliferative activity and CD31 as an endothelial cell marker for the sake of studying vascular proliferation in astrocytomas interrelated with some clinicopathological parameters (age, gender, site of the tumor, and tumor grade) in Iraqi patients, will aid in identifying the prognosis for pat
