Accepted 10 March 1998 A previously healthy 38-year-old woman presented to her chiropractor with a 2-week history of right neck pain with radiation to the right occipital area. The pain was exacerbated by neck extension and rapid lateral movements of the neck. It was temporarily relieved by paracetamol. There had been no history of neck trauma. The chiropractor noted that cervical rotation to t...

It is generally assumed that children with posterior crossbites have abnormal mandibular movements; however, this assumption has not been clearly evaluated. The purpose of this investigation was to study the movements and the resting position of the mandible in 2 samples of 30 subjects, one aged 10 to 14 years with right posterior crossbite, the other aged 10 to 15 years with normal occlusion. ...

To the Editor: Sazak et al. (1) recently published a randomized study comparing 2 right-sided double-lumen tubes (R-DLTs) from different manufacturers. Assessing R-DLTs’ positions by bronchoscopy, they showed a 40% to 50% nonoptimal placement in the supine position and a 30% to 35% nonoptimal placement following turning the patient in lateral decubitus without any statistically significant diff...

Baseball-specific athleticism, potential, and performance have been difficult to predict. Increased muscle strength and power can increase throwing velocity but the majority of research has focused on the upper body. The present study sought to determine if bilateral or unilateral lower-body field testing correlates with throwing velocity. Baseball throwing velocity scores were correlated to th...

PURPOSE To investigate the effects of different head positions in the lateral decubitus posture on intraocular pressure (IOP) in medically treated patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). DESIGN Prospective observational study. METHODS setting: Institutional. PARTICIPANTS Twenty patients with bilateral OAG who received only latanoprost as treatment. OBSERVATION PROCEDURES IOP was measur...

Introduction: Recently the most accurate diagnostic method in the diagnosis of prosthesis infection is the combination of Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow imaging. However the diagnostic efficiency of the test is influenced because of its low spatial resolution. Recently SPECT/CT imaging is implicated in this test with efficient additional diagnostic improvement. In the dep...

Bilateral mandibular tooth transposition is a relatively rare dental anomaly caused by distal migration of the mandibular lateral incisors and can be detected in the early mixed dentition by radiographic examination. Early diagnosis and interceptive intervention may reduce the risk of possible transposition between the mandibular canine and lateral incisor. This report illustrates the orthodont...

Purpose The size of the ventricles of the heart is important to establish during the clinical echocardiographic examination. Due to the complex anatomy of the right ventricle, it is difficult to measure its size at times. One of the most frequently used ways is to measure the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT1), probably due to its good reproducibility. However, in the literature different ...
