BACKGROUND Treatment effects of removable functional appliances in Class II malocclusion patients according to the pre-pubertal or pubertal growth phase has yet to be clarified. OBJECTIVES To assess and compare skeletal and dentoalveolar effects of removable functional appliances in Class II malocclusion treatment between pre-pubertal and pubertal patients. SEARCH METHODS Literature survey ...

to investigate uterine fluid and serum calcium (ca) and magnesium (mg) variations during the estrus cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in urmia. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures. 18 animals were pro-estrous, 15 estrous, 16 met-estrous and 22 diestrous. the uterine fluid was collected by gent...

To determine the value of pre-pubertal plan of nutrition on reproductive performance, hormonal concentrations and milk production in ewe lambs, a total of 40 clinically health Kurdish female lambs (30±8.6 d and weighing 10.2±3.4 kg) were randomly allocated to one of two experimental diets in pre-weaning period: high quality diet (HQD) (HQD, 2.50 Mcal ME/kg dry matter (DM) and 148 g CP/kg DM) or...

This study investigated pupillary and behavioral responses to an emotional word valence identification paradigm among 32 pre-/early pubertal and 34 mid-/late pubertal typically developing children and adolescents. Participants were asked to identify the valence of positive, negative, and neutral words while pupil dilation was assessed using an eyetracker. Mid-/late pubertal children showed grea...

objective: to compare the knowledge and attitude regarding pubertal changes among pre – adolescent girls before and after the pubertal preparedness program (ppp) in experimental and comparison group. materials and methods: a quasi experimental (non- equivalent comparison group pretest posttest) design was adopted with 104pre-adolescentgirls (52 in each experimental and comparison group) of age ...

The aim of this study was to analyse the effects type extracurricular sport on body composition, respiratory parameters, and physical condition in prepubertal pubertal girls. Four hundred eighty-five female athletes (aged 8–14) from different sports participated study. They were gathered into four groups according typology maturity level: ‘prepubertal girls who practise collective sports’ (PRE-...

BACKGROUND Measurement of testicular artery blood flow is used in several species to evaluate reproductive function and testicular and scrotal pathology. In dogs there are inconsistent reports about normal flow in post-pubertal dogs and no information concerning pre-pubertal dogs. The aim of this study was to describe regional differences in testicular artery blood flow in clinically normal pos...

The ability of pre-pubertal children to regulate their body temperature under thermoneutral environments is similar to that of an adult albeit via differing routes. However, this ability is challenged when exposed to extreme environments. Thermoregulatory responses of pre-pubertal children differ from adults via adaptations that occur during growth and maturation and disadvantage children when ...
