TL;DR: The results indicate that although enamelins and amelogenins share some epitopes, each one of these proteins appears to invoke a different degree of immunogenicity.
Abstract: The present communication provides descriptions of the developmental, biochemical, and immunological properties of the human enamel extracellular matrix proteins. We report the isolation and partial characterization of the major human enamel proteins, the production of polyclonal antibodies directed against the human enamelins, and a comparison between the immunogenicity of enamelins and amelogenins from human and mouse enamel extracellular matrices. Our results indicate that although enamelins and amelogenins share some epitopes, each one of these proteins appears to invoke a different degree of immunogenicity.

TL;DR: A patient with Pleomorphic adenoma of the palate is presented and the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative evaluation is discussed and the treatment of this lesion is discussed.
Abstract: Pleomorphic adenoma of the palate is a rare entity in childhood. Only 4 cases of this lesion are documented in detail in the literature. We present a patient with this lesion and discuss the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative evaluation. A review of the previously reported cases is provided along with a discussion of the treatment of this lesion.

TL;DR: Predicted scatter characteristics from a Monte Carlo code have been compared to an experiment for a 4.0-cm-thick acrylic resin (Plexiglas) phantom and 27.3-keV radiation, except that in the scattered spectra the predictions appear to underestimate the proportion of photons in the low-energy tail of the scattered radiation.
Abstract: Predicted scatter characteristics from a Monte Carlo code have been compared to an experiment for a 4.0-cm-thick acrylic resin (Plexiglas) phantom and 27.3-keV radiation. The results show generally good agreement, except that in the scattered spectra the predictions appear to underestimate the proportion of photons in the low-energy tail of the scattered radiation. The angular dependency of the energy-integrated scattered radiation fluence is in excellent agreement with the predictions.

TL;DR: Mortality was negligible in the group with burns over less than 10% of their body and very high, 79% in the most severely burned group, and there was a high correlation between age and mortality.
