Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of early oral feeding versus delayed feeding on gastrointestinal function of post-caesarean section women in a tertiary hospital in Enugu, Nigeria: A randomized controlled trial.
Initiation of oral intake after caesarean delivery influences return of bowel function, ambulation of patients, and time to recover from surgery. ⋯ Early initiation of oral feeding after caesarean delivery is safe and may be associated with earlier return of bowel functions, earlier ambulation, shorter postoperative time interval to become eligible for discharge, and high maternal satisfaction.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The evaluation of microleakage and fluoride release of different types of glass ionomer cements.
The aim of this study was to evaluate six different glass ionomer cement (GIC)-based restorative materials through comparisons of microleakage and fluoride release. ⋯ In terms of microleakage, it was concluded that all materials could be used in clinical applications. The Equia high-viscosity glass ionomer cements (HVGIC) was determined to be the material with the highest fluoride release value.
