Aims and Objectives: This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the effect of treatment with a maxillary protraction appliance (MPA) on the development of craniofacial structures and the upper airway dimensions. Methods: Twenty patients (10 male and 10 female; mean age 10.3 +/1.12 years) with skeletal Class III malocclusion were included in this study and were evaluated by the use of...

OBJECTIVE Radiographic frontal recess and sinus anatomic measurements were obtained to evaluate the feasibility of the endoscopic modified Lothrop procedure. STUDY DESIGN Computed tomography anatomic study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Computed tomography (CT) scans from 97 patients, 39 male and 58 female, were analyzed in the sagittal plane. Four anatomic parameters were measured 1) midsagittal t...

Relevance . Skeletal Class III malocclusion is one of the most frequent and challenging problems in orthodontics. This pathology affects both maxillofacial area function aesthetics patient. Surgery common solution to this problem. The clinical case describes an alternative treatment method using FAGGA appliance. Clinical description increase upper jaw sagittal dimension adult patient who presen...

Recent research showed that past events are associated with the back and left side, whereas future events are associated with the front and right side of space. These spatial-temporal associations have an impact on our sensorimotor system: thinking about one's past and future leads to subtle body sways in the sagittal dimension of space (Miles, Nind, & Macrae, 2010). In this study we investigat...

AIM This study was conducted in order to assess the changes in the occlusal position of the mandible after ULF (Ultra Low Frequency)-TENS relaxing procedure in subjects in pubertal growth phase with diagnosed Angle Class II division 1 and mandibular dentoalveolar retrusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed on 19 patients (13 females, 6 males) with an Angle Class II division 1, a...

This paper presents a sliding-mode-based diagonal recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (SDRCMAC) for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear systems. Sliding mode technology is used to reduce the dimension of the control system. Two learning stages are adopted to train the SDRCMAC and to improve the stability of the control system. Lyapunov stability theorem and ...

let r be a commutative noetherian ring. we study the behavior of injectiveand at dimension of r-modules under the functors homr(-,-) and -×r-.

Background: In the current study, we investigated that how sagittal femoral bowing can affect the sagittal alignment ofthe femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods: There were 25 patients underwent TKA. Long leg radiography in lateral view was performed. The sagittalfemoral bowing (SFB) and component alignment in relation to the sagittal mechanical axis and distal anterior cor...

Lipomas are slow-growing benign soft-tissue tumors which are typically asymptomatic and occur in approximately 1% of the population. A lipoma is considered to be of excessive size when it is greater than 10 cm in length (in any dimension) or weighs over 1000 g (Kransdorf (1995)). We describe a case of a man presenting with a giant posterior neck mass which greatly reduced the sagittal range of ...
