BACKGROUND Previously, the sagittal spinal balance in both asymptomatic and scoliotic Caucasian people has been characterized and compared. Very recently, the sagittal spino-pelvic parameters among asymptomatic Chinese adults have been studied, and the results were compared with Caucasian adults, indicating that a difference did exist. Unfortunately, the distribution of sagittal standing postur...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to assess the direction and degree of lip-line cant in Korean adult orthodontic patients and to identify the effects of sex and age on changes in the cant severity. METHODS In this cross-sectional retrospective study, lip-line cant was measured in the frontal photographs of 585 Korean patients (92 men and 493 women) aged 18-48 years. The outcome variables...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Identification of lesions in specific locations gains importance in multiple sclerosis imaging diagnostic criteria. In clinical routine, axial scans are usually exclusively obtained to depict the cervical spinal cord or used to confirm suspected lesions on sagittal scans. We sought to evaluate the detection rate for MS lesions on axial T2WI scans with full spinal cord cov...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Platybasia, or abnormal obtuseness of the basal angle, was first measured on plain skull images. At present, evaluation of the brain and skull more commonly involves CT and MR imaging. We evaluated a new MR imaging method of evaluating platybasia. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated midline sagittal MR images in 200 adults and 50 children. The basal angle of the skull ...

BACKGROUND Sacroiliac intraarticular injection by the traditional technique can be challenging to perform when the joint is covered with osteophytes or is extremely narrow. OBJECTIVE To examine whether there is enough space for the needle to be advanced from the L5-S1 interspinous space to the upper one-third sacroiliac joint (SIJ) by magnetic resonance image (MRI) analysis as an alternative ...

A model was developed, on the basis of which features healing a full-thickness skin wound were studied in laboratory rats using macro-, micro- and ultramicroscopic methods. It found that during this process, two borders are formed surface ‒ one edge dermis second epidermis. is shown granulation tissue can be not only due to restructuring fibrin, but also reorganization subcutaneous tissue. hypo...
