OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare nostril height, width, collumelar length, interalar distance and nostril symetry between unilateral complete cleft lip/palate patients undergoing nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) and incomplete cleft lip patients/palate with no need of presurgical moulding before and after cheiloplasty with primary nasal correction. Our study group included 18 patients...

Ten young male participants were recruited to test their maximum symmetric and asymmetric isoinertial lifting capabilities from floor to the knuckle height in different container dimensions varied in both width and length. The results showed that the order from the highest to lowest lifting capability for the lifting modes was symmetric lifting, asymmetric lifting with leg rotation and asymmetr...

background: palmaris longus (pl) is a muscle with marked variations. it is harvested as a tendon graft in many surgical proceduresin which a certain length of tendon is required. the aims of the present study were to determine the variations of this tendon in iranian population and to find whether the length of pl tendon could be estimated by measuring the forearm length and height.   methods: ...

1. Body-weight, body height, knee width, wrist width and skinfold measurements were made on males (n 139) and females (n 167) in three age-groups (20-22, 25-27 and 30-32 years). Percentage of body fat was calculated from skinfold thicknesses using regression equations according to Durnin & Womersley (1974). Three indices of relative weight were calculated: W/H2, W/Hp and W/W, where W is body-we...

In his writings John Lubbock expounded views on the understanding of past climates, prehistoric faunas, early humans, and the evolution of landscape and river systems. His contributions on some of these related topics are scarcely remembered, despite comparison with modern thinking showing them frequently to have been prescient. He visited the Somme valley, observing river terrace gravels and P...
