Factors Relating to Canadian Dental Service Utilization and Access
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing factors relating to dental service utilization in Canada. While Canadians enjoy a universal health care system regulated by the Canada Health Act, dental care (except for dental surgery in hospitals) is not covered by the network of territorial and provincial health insurance plans. Because of this lack of free coverage, financial barriers are often those which prevent utilization of dental services in Canada. However, financial barriers are not the only factors preventing access to dental services. Various studies have found that dental care utilization is also affected by health and illness factors especially in the growing senior population, reluctance to seek out new dental professionals, regional access, regional and cultural beliefs regarding dentistry as preventative and not necessary care, in addition to language and cultural barriers.

Five Common Chemotherapeutic Agents: Cancer Treatments, Side Effects and Complications
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 15 page paper discussing five common chemotherapeutic agents in their treatment of cancer, their side effects and complications. Chemotherapeutic agents are used to interfere with the growth of cancer cells in an effort to destroy them. When studying the alkylating agents chlorambucil, thiotepa and carmustine and the antimetabolites fludarabine and floxuridine, it is has been found that although these chemotherapeutic agents are used in the treatment of various forms of cancer, they can also cause a great many side effects ranging from nausea, hair loss, bloody stools and urine, back and abdominal pain and even secondary cancer which may appear months or years after the administration of the treatment. Patients taking chemotherapeutic agents are also warned that they may cause birth defects during pregnancy or affect the children of mothers breast-feeding. Nevertheless, chemotherapeutic agents have been found to cure over 20 percent of new cancers diagnosed and with proper caution by the patient, physician and administering staff, the patient may overcome the cancer with this form of treatment.

Full Mouth Disinfection Compared to Partial Mouth Disinfection
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses research findings regarding
full-mouth disinfection (FMD). FMD requires that instrumentation,
subgingival, buccal mucosa and tongue disinfection all be
completed within 24 hours. The concept is based on the idea that
in the most common strategy for periodontal treatment that
involves consecutive root planings per single quadrant of the
mouth at a one- to two-week intervals, re-infection of a
disinfected area might occur before completion of the treatment.
The standard procedure is generally referred to as �partial mouth
disinfection.� Bibliography lists 6 sources.

G Protein Function
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the function of G proteins, with an emphasis in GTPase and G protein receptor sites. G proteins have been found to be involved in a vast number of processes involving hormonal and drug therapy activity and are extensively involved in message transmission. GTPase inhibits those processes, and the mechanisms by which many of these interactions take place still are not well described. In part due to the sheer numbers of processes in which G proteins have roles and in part because they each have their own pharmacology while sharing similar structures, full description is likely to provide a wealth of research opportunity for some time to come. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
