introduction: few studies on benign soft tissue tumors of oral cavity have been conducted in an iranian population. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity in three central pathology centers of rasht, iran. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, all benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity, were retrieved from...

background: the extraction of teeth for orthodontic purpose has always been a controversial subject in the speciality. the aesthetics impact of the soft-tissue profile might play a key role in deciding on premolar extraction or non-extraction (ne) treatment, particularly in borderline patients. the purpose of this cephalometric study was to examine the soft-tissue treatment effects of class ii ...

In this paper, the concept of soft ultrafilters is introduced and some of the related structures such as soft Stone-Cech compactification, principal soft ultrafilters and basis for its topology are studied.

background and objective: different mechanisms may lead to the development of soft tissue tumor-like lesions in the oral cavity. many of these lesions can be identified as specific entities on the basis of their histopathological features and are divided into fibrous, vascular, and giant cell types. the purpose of this study was to establish the relative prevalence of the different histopatholo...

a flood warning system is a non-structural measure for flood mitigation. several parameters are responsible for flood related disasters. this work  illustrates an ordered intuitionistic fuzzy analysis that has the capability to simulate the unknown relations between a set of meteorological and hydrological parameters. in this paper, we first define ordered intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and est...

conclusions pharyngeal airway dimensions, soft palate length, thickness, and position, and hyoid position are not significantly different between skeletal class i and class ii prepubertal children. results no significant difference in the upper airway, soft palate, and hyoid variables was found between the two groups (p > 0.05) and no correlation was found between anb difference and the other v...

conclusions lower extremity movement extent was carefully evaluated and, in respect to muscle strength, the patient was able to walk independently three months after the surgery. the patient’s balance was studied and the results showed moderate levels of stability. case presentation this is a case report concerning a patient who had septic arthritis in the knee area and so underwent soft tissue...

recent studies show significant reduction of postural stability in transtibial amputees (ttas) especially when a perturbation is applied. however, no record has been seen on the consequences of such perturbation on the stump-socket interface pressure (ssip). our objective was to investigate whether such perturbation impose excessive pressures on the stump. we were also interested on the type of...
