Estimating arch length discrepancy through Little's Irregularity Index for epidemiological use.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic capability of Little's Irregularity Index (LII) in order to estimate the arch length discrepancy (ALD) in a dental arch. Dental casts with a full permanent dentition, excluding third molars, from 200 12- to-16-year-old schoolchildren from a representative high school located in Lima, Peru, were used. Incisal irregularity was measured us...
متن کاملEstimating Instantaneous Irregularity of Neuronal Firing
Cortical neurons in vivo had been regarded as Poisson spike generators that convey no information other than the rate of random firing. Recently, using a metric for analyzing local variation of interspike intervals, researchers have found that individual neurons express specific patterns in generating spikes, which may symbolically be termed regular, random, or bursty, rather invariantly in tim...
متن کاملTibial shortening for leg length discrepancy.
Over a 25-year period, 12 patients had from 2.5 to 5.1 cm operative shortening of the tibia and fibula for leg length discrepancy at between four and 18 years of age. All recovered normal function and there was minor cosmetic impairment in only two cases. The only vascular complication was temporary delay in return of the circulation to the foot after tourniquet removal in one patient. The proc...
متن کاملTemporary epiphyseodesis for limb-length discrepancy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For the treatment of leg-length discrepancies (LLDs) of between 2 and 5 cm in adolescent patients, several epiphyseodesis options exist and various complications have been reported. We reviewed the 8- to 15-year outcome after temporary epiphyseodesis in patients with LLD. PATIENTS AND METHODS 34 children with LLD of up to 5 cm were included in the study. Mean age at epi...
متن کاملIrregularity index: A new border irregularity measure for cutaneous melanocytic lesions
One of the important clinical features that differentiates benign melanocytic nevi from malignant melanomas is the irregularity of the lesion border. There are two types of border irregularities: texture irregularities, the small variations along the border, and structure irregularities, the global indentations and protrusions. Texture irregularities are subject to noise, whereas structure irre...
