Background and Aim: Medical grade calcium sulfate hemihydrate (MGCSH) is used as a bone graft material for socket preservation. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in bone width and height after tooth extraction and socket preservation with MGCSH using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This study evaluated 17 systemically healthy patients over a 1-year period. Th...

The study was done to determine and compare the nasal parameters of male and female Isokos. The sample comprised two hundred and ten (210) males and two hundred (200) females of Isoko descent. The ages of the subjects ranged from 18-35years. Nasal width and nasal height were obtained with the aid of a sliding caliper and nasal indices were calculated as the ratio of nasal width and nasal height...

Results On implantation the mean threshold of all the leads was 1.1+/-0.8V at a mean pulse width of 0.5+/-0.7ms. The mean impedance of the leads was 673.4+/-268.1 OH. There was no difference in the implant data between unipolar and bipolar or steroid eluting and non-steroid eluting leads. There was a significantly lower pacing threshold in the steroid eluting leads at latest follow up (p=0.031)...

background: since most clinical treatments of persian children’s language impairments are based on either the therapist, clinicians’ experiences (mostly), or english language norms (sometimes), comparing two minor indices of speech quality, namely “mean length of utterance” (mlu) and “mean length of five phrasal utterances” (mlfpu) between different age groups of children, would be unequivocall...

This paper describes estimation of stream channel geometry with multiple regression analysis of GISderived watershed characteristics including drainage area, catchment-averaged precipitation, mean watershed slope, elevation, forest cover, percent area with slopes greater than 30 percent, and percent area with north-facing slopes greater than 30 percent. Results from this multivariate predictor ...
