To our knowledge, the effects of corrective spinal surgery on total respiratory mechanics and its components in anesthetized patients with kyphoscoliosis have not been previously reported in detail. We studied 13 patients with kyposcoliosis; their mean (+/- SD) age was 24.7 +/- 2.1 years; eight underwent anterior and posterior spinal fusions (AF and PF, respectively) two weeks apart (group A), ...

introduction: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of glass ceramic insert in the sandwich technique to reduce microleakage in class ii composite resin restorations. methods: sixty sound human upper second premolars were selected and randomly divided into six groups (n=10). class ii box-only cavities were prepared in distal aspects of each tooth with gingival margin located a...

I. Height allometries Since 1999, FIA data include height measurements. However, pre-1999 FIA data (which currently comprise most of the available plot re-measurements) do not include height data for most of the U.S. Therefore, incorporating tree height into analyses of pre-1999 FIA data requires height-dbh allometries, which we estimated using the post-1999 FIA data. Because we wished to treat...

OBJECTIVES To investigate if general dental practitioners (GDPs) in private practice in Jordan follow universal guidelines for preparation of anterior teeth for resin bonded all-ceramic crowns (RBCs). MATERIAL AND METHODS A sample (n=100) of laboratory models containing 208 tooth preparations for IPS Empress and In Ceram, featuring work from different GDPs, was obtained from 8 commercial dent...

introduction: the importance and necessity of regional analysis of cropping pattern could be due to the need of regional balance and present strategies to achieve balance in decision making and allocation of agricultural production resources. the regional planning is a systematic attempt to choose the best available methods in order to achieve a specific goal in a region. agriculture planning p...
