UNLABELLED Children from socioeconomically disadvantaged and/or underrepresented minority backgrounds in the United States have limited or no access to orthodontic treatment. OBJECTIVES To determine whether preadolescents' (a) objectively assessed orthodontic treatment need; (b) subjectively assessed orthodontic treatment need; and (c) self-perceptions of the psychologic aspects of their oral...

Purpose: The 2021 SOSORT guidelines stipulated that braces be prescribed for adult scoliosis with chronic pain and progressive curve. Yet, there have been no objective protocols relating to the prescription of brace. Therefore, this review investigates if are any criteria or generally agreed on brace in patients. Methods: Relevant papers were searched PUBMED. Only articles English cover clinica...

Due to major-scale earthquakes, revisions of earthquake resistant structural design methods have periodically been made in seismic codes. It is known that many existing buildings are located active zones all parts the world. Severe damage members, with partial or total collapse buildings, has observed past earthquakes. Consequently, evaluation performance and strengthening techniques according ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly built together with shear walls. In high seismicity regions, constructing walls along the frame’s height is proven ineffective. Thus, in numerous studies, using at a certain beneficial, and this kind of structure popularly known as curtailed However, area above could suffer significant deformation under seismic load upgrading performance those upper ...

All of the low back braces available today are fabricated to provide anteriorly or posteriorly directed forces . None accomplishes satisfactory immobilization, and, in fact, braces with a high thoraco-lumbar purchase area increase lumbosacral motion (1) . Attempts to improve the lumbar immobilization by applying increased abdominal pressure are useful to a limited degree, as in the Williams bra...

Abstract Buildings with different roofing systems possess seismic performance during earthquake. Most of the traditional buildings are susceptible to earthquake disaster due no loading is considered in design. In addition, irregular have been proven perform badly events. Due lack investigations on asymmetrical timber-concrete hybrid building under loading, a ¼ this type model was tested seismic...
