The purpose of this study was to examine reaction forces transmitted to the upper extremities of high-level gymnasts during the round-off phase of the Yurchenko vault. A secondary purpose of this study was to compare reaction forces during the Yurchenko vault to reaction forces observed in a tumbling pass during the floor exercise. Ten high-level, female gymnasts volunteered to participate. Con...

UNLABELLED Complete dentures often fracture during normal masticatory function. The reason could be due to the shape of the palate, i.e. deep, medium or shallow palatal vault. This in vitro study was performed to determine the relationship of palatal vault depth and flexural strength of two different permanent denture base resins. Edentulous maxillary casts of patients were collected from the d...

In the present article, we revisit question of structural characteristics and building methods two most famous Hungarian Late-Gothic net vaults, nave vault Franciscan Church Szeged-Alsóváros Reformed Nyírbátor. Based on data gathered by laser-scanning buildings, geometric system as opposed to former state research, differ significantly from each other. While rib webbing have features characteri...

PURPOSE To assess the efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in improving the accuracy of phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) sizing by increasing the incidence of acceptable postoperative vault. SETTING Multiple private practices, United States. DESIGN Evaluation of diagnostic test or technology. METHODS This prospective multicenter clinical study evaluated eyes having pIOL...

A gravid middle-aged woman viewed on ultrasound demonstrated a viable anencephalic fetus at 25 weeks gestational age. The absence of the bilateral cerebral hemisphere, cranial vault, anhydramnios, abdominal ascites, and phaco-rhizomelia was discovered. We discuss evidence-based quadra –amelia in non-consanguineous (negroid) couple 25-week prenatal scan. Apart from amelia all four limbs, had asc...

OBJECTIVE To compare vaginal anatomy and sexual function after the conventional posterior and anterior sacrospinous vault suspension. METHODS A retrospective repeated measures cohort study included all 168 consecutive sacrospinous vault suspension procedures between July 1990 and February 1997. The posterior suspension (n = 92) used a posterior vaginal incision and pararectal dissection. Ante...

Beginning with excavations during the 1970s, Vindija Cave (Croatia) has yielded significant Middle and Upper Paleolithic fossil and archaeological finds. We report on seven recently identified hominid fossils, a newly associated partial hominid cranial vault from level G(3), nine possible bone retouchers, and a revised interpretation of the Mousterian artifact assemblage from the site. This new...
