2012-03-12

LOS ANGELES, CA, March 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. Afar, Los Angeles dentist at Wilshire Dental Care, is offering a variety of sedation dentistry techniques to make patient's experiences relaxing and pain-free. Sedation dentistry is the use of various techniques to reduce stress and pain during a dental procedure. Dr. Afar offers various types of sedation dentistry techniques to meet a variety of patient needs.

Oral sedation is the use of oral medications such as pills and liquids and is used when patients require only a small degree of sedation, and for procedures like dental crown preparation or fillings that do not require invasive surgery.

Inhaled sedation is a stronger form that utilizes inhaled gases such as nitrous oxide. These inhaled gases allow patients to relax completely during more invasive dental procedures.

IV drugs are the strongest form of sedation techniques and often render patients unconscious for brief periods of time. They are appropriate for procedures in which dental surgery is required, such as the removal of wisdom teeth.

All forms of sedation must be administered by a qualified professional and closely monitored for patient safety. With the help of a board certified anesthesiologist, Dr. Afar and Wilshire Dental Care are committed to safe and pain-free dental practices for all of their patients.

Dr. Afar and his team at Wilshire Dental Care offer a variety of procedures designed to meet every patient's needs. For example, the Los Angeles cosmetic dentist at Wilshire Dental Care can offer teeth whitening procedures such as Zoom whitening, or the placement of dental veneers such as Lumineers for a more permanent white smile. Dr. Yaghoubzadeh offers Invisalign as well as traditional braces. Wilshire Dental Care offers a wide array of dental services, such as dental implant surgery, preventative care, and surgical correction of dental problems such as wisdom teeth removal.

NASA's RXTE captures thermonuclear behavior of unique neutron star

2012-03-12

A neutron star is the closest thing to a black hole that astronomers can observe directly, crushing half a million times more mass than Earth into a sphere no larger than a city. In October 2010, a neutron star near the center of our galaxy erupted with hundreds of X-ray bursts that were powered by a barrage of thermonuclear explosions on the star's surface. NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) captured the month-long fusillade in extreme detail. Using this data, an international team of astronomers has been able to bridge a long-standing gap between theory and observation. "In ...

NASA sees cyclone Irina weaker in Mozambique Channel

2012-03-12

Cyclone Irina has lived a long life and caused a lot of trouble, damages and death over the course of its life, and it appears to be finally fading over the Mozambique Channel. On March 8 at 1500 UTC (10 a.m. EST), Irina's winds had finally dropped below 45 knots (51.7 mph/83.3 kph) to 35 knots (40.2 mph/64.8 kph) making it a minimal tropical storm. Irina was still in the southern Mozambique Channel, centered near 29.5 South and 37.8 East. That is about 350 miles southeast of Maputo, Mozambique. Irina is moving to the west at 8 knots (9.2 mph/14.8 kph). The Moderate ...

NASA's TRMM satellite sees hot towers in Cyclone Koji

2012-03-12

Hot towers, or towering thunderclouds that give off an excessive amount of latent heat, usually indicate a tropical cyclone will strengthen in six hours, and NASA's TRMM satellite saw some of them as it passed by Tropical Storm Koji. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed directly above an intensifying tropical storm in the South Indian Ocean called Koji on March 8, 2012 at 2053 UTC (3:53 p.m. EST). A rainfall analysis was made from TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data. Those TRMM data reveal that Koji was getting organized ...

Discovery could reduce chemo's side effects

2012-03-12

DURHAM, N.C. – A team of researchers at Duke University has determined the structure of a key molecule that can carry chemotherapy and anti-viral drugs into cells, which could help to create more effective drugs with fewer effects to healthy tissue. "Knowing the structure and properties of the transporter molecule may be the key to changing the way that some chemotherapies, for example, could work in the body to prevent tumor growth," said senior author Seok-Yong Lee, Ph.D., assistant professor of biochemistry at Duke. The article was published in Nature online on ...

World breakthrough on salt-tolerant wheat

2012-03-12

A team of Australian scientists has bred salt tolerance into a variety of durum wheat that shows improved grain yield by 25% on salty soils. Using 'non-GM' crop breeding techniques, scientists from CSIRO Plant Industry have introduced a salt-tolerant gene into a commercial durum wheat, with spectacular results shown in field tests. Researchers at the University of Adelaide's Waite Research Institute have led the effort to understand how the gene delivers salinity tolerance to the plants.
