This investigation examined the ability of the tissues of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) to adapt to changing functional demands in young, growing rats compared with mature rats. Functional demands on the TMJ were varied by feeding diets with different physical consistencies. The first group was fed a soft diet for the experimental period. The second group was fed a hard diet, and the third...

BACKGROUND Spine procedures continue to increase significantly. As such, a more precise understanding of the anatomy, especially the pars interarticularis (PI) is critical. Current data characterizing the PI level-by-level is lacking. This study analyzed the average PI width at each level of the lumbar spine in order to elucidate statistically significant PI variations between lumbar levels. ...

Eliminating pathogen exposure is an important approach to control outbreaks of epidemics such as COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). To deal with pathogenic environments, using disinfection robots a practicable choice. This research formulates 3D (three-dimensional) spatial strategy for robot. First, robot designed extensible framework the integration additional functions. The has eight degree...

Height is an important identity in forensics. Several long bones are known to be used for size estimation, one of which the femur (Os. Femur). Personal height growth affected by many factors, including gender, breed, and diet. This study aimed analyze correlation Os length. Thigh UWKS medical students influenced ethnicity observational descriptive analysis approach conduct a cross-sectional stu...

the biological interaction between the jaw bones and dental implant is fundamental for the long-term success of dental implant placement. nevertheless, the insufficient bone volume remains a major clinical problem, especially in case of immediate dental implant. using a canine model, the present study proves the regenerative potential of adipose- derived stem cells (adscs) to repair peri-implan...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term changes in bone density profile among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. patients and methods: this was a 5 year prospective study comprised of thirty-one survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a mean age of 11.8 (4.6) years, who completed therapy at least 1 year previously (according to the all-...

Brief observations of the behavior of males of the dynastine beetle Ageopsis nigricollis suggest that the males use their horns as weapons in intraspecific fights. Mea surements of nearly 200 males show that there are two different morphs. Thoracic but not head horns are missing in the minor morph, and behavioral observations confirm that thoracic horns are less useful for smaller individuals. ...

Mcrhods 1) Convex (+15 D) and concave (-15 D) lenses were mounted over one eye of day old chicks (n=25). Refractive states and ocular diameters were measured by retinoscopy and ultrasound. The eyes were enucleated, weighed and measured after the birds were sacrificed on the 7th day. The remaining heads were cleaned and placed in 2% NaOH to rem& all soft tissues.Orbital dimensions were measured ...

One of the industry sectors with the longest history in remanufacturing is the automotive industry. Remanufactured parts include brake calipers, engines, servo pumps and alternators. A big challenge for automotive component remanufacturers is to achieve a steady flow of cores (parts that are used for remanufacturing). This flow could be secured by making agreements with core suppliers, such as ...
