BACKGROUND Vertebral rotation found in structural scoliosis contributes to trunkal asymmetry which is commonly measured with a simple Scoliometer device on a patient's thorax in the forward flexed position. The new generation of mobile 'smartphones' have an integrated accelerometer, making accurate angle measurement possible, which provides a potentially useful clinical tool for assessing rib h...

INTRODUCTION Using network meta-analysis, we evaluated the adverse effects of the seven most common treatment methods, i.e., bridging external fixation, non-bridging external fixation, K-wire fixation, plaster fixation, dorsal plating, volar plating, and dorsal and volar plating, by their associated risk of developing complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in distal radius fracture (DRF) patient...

THIS report presents a method of determining the dimensional changes in gypsum dental products, which avoids the disadvantages of previous methods and which provides extreme sensitivity. As part of the program of research on the gypsum products used in dentistry, a preliminary study was made of various physical properties. This study, which included strength, thermal expansion, setting expansio...

The construction sector is among the major players responsible for global energy consumption and therefore related emissions, both because of constantly increasing indoor air quality standard which requires increasingly higher demands as well great share historical buildings are now obsolete not up to date with current regulations. Phase change materials (PCMs) applied on building envelope repr...

The article presents the main results of research on plaster samples with different physical parameters their structure. basic parameter taken into account in is aeration. Other were also considered, but they play a minor part. acoustic properties modified measured by sound absorption coefficient; compared coefficient standard plaster. influence other physical, mechanical and thermal was not an...
