Studies show that the risk associated with high cumulative exposure to silica and organic solvents appears to be strongly increased in SSc. Moreover, exposure to silica is associated with a specific type of SSc phenotype with a worse prognosis. However, the type, intensity and probability of these
LAB VISIT #1: ORIENTATION AND BASELINE TESTING (about 1.5 hours):
One to two weeks prior to the start of the study, study participants will report to the NCRC Human Performance Lab for orientation and baseline testing. Study participants will be screened to verify "low risk" status for
Hypothesis A course of amoxicillin (250 mg ,three times daily for five days), routinely prescribed as a part of treatment protocol for third molar extractions causes a significant shift of the stable oral microbiome .
The primary outcome measures are to assess:
1. Relative abundance of different
Study design The study was designed as a split-mouth, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel synthetic bone regeneration material (Siloss®) in the treatment of periodontal intrabony osseous defects. Ethical clearance has
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary hypertension is a severe disorder defined by an elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) as >25 mmHg at rest. A classification of the different types of pulmonary hypertension has been established according to shared pathologic and clinical features as well as similar
Study rationale: The main risk factors of COPD are tobacco smoking, biomass smoking and occupational factors. Tobacco smoking is well-known risk factor so tobacco induced COPD is completely established. Nevertheless the meaning of occupational factors which are less famous are equally important.

Nanoparticles (NPs) are quite safe for an organism but entire kinetics is mostly unknown. The most dangerous approach with lowest level of efficacy and safety is a delivery of NPs with microbubbles. SP+ and mesenchymal SPCs have the similar efficacy as a local delivery system with a lot of
It is a sub-study of "DNA-damage biomarkers to monitor and early detect health impairment in workers exposed to Silica (Caesar Stone)" study. Study participants would be recruited during two years of the study. They will be asked to come to a single visit at Pulmonary Laboratory of Tel Aviv Medical
Study participants would be recruited during two years of the study. They will be asked to come to a single visit at Pulmonary Laboratory of Tel Aviv Medical Center. During the meeting, participants will be given a precise explanation about the tests they will perform and after signing the informed
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main cause of disability and death worldwide. The underlying cause generally is atherosclerosis and more in particular thrombotic rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque in a vital artery. The restoration of blood flow to ischemic myocardium is established as
