BACKGROUND The posterior movement of mandible was known as the main cause of the changes in the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) and the postoperative obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The purpose of this study was to know the changes of PAS and position of hyoid bone. METHODS Lateral cephalographies of 13 patients who had undergone sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) setback surgery were taken p...

objective: adaptation of the pharyngeal airway space does occur after different surgical strategies of class iii patients including mandibular setback, maxillary advancement and bimaxillary surgery. the aim of this study is to conduct a detailed cephalometric evaluation of the alterations taking place in the morphology of the pharyngeal airway space after treatment of class iii skeletal deformi...

Rice is an important staple crop throughout the world, but environmental stress like low-light conditions can negatively impact crop yield and quality. Using pot experiments and field experiments, we studied the effects of shading on starch pasting viscosity and starch content with six rice varieties for three years, using the Rapid Visco Analyser to measure starch pasting viscosity. Shading at...

PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate relapse and its causes in bilateral sagittal split setback osteotomy with rigid internal fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature research was done in databases such as PubMed, Ovid, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar Beta. From the original 488 articles identified, 14 articles were finally included. Only 5 studies were pro...

The use of atmospheric dispersion modelling has become more common for the determination of odour impacts from existing poultry production facilities and the assessment of setback distances for new facilities. Setback distances for broiler, layer and turkey units were determined using the atmospheric dispersion modelling software ISCST3 and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, Ireland) rec...

The year 2011 has thus far been dominated by the vigorous pursuit of interventions for patients with low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and proatherogenic lipid profiles. The major setback of the early stoppage of the Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome with Low HDL Cholesterol/ High Triglyceride and Impact on Global Health Outcomes (AIM-HIGH) trial by th...
