Abstract Introduction The THN3 randomized, controlled trial of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) showed that proximal (“targeted”) hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) safely improved sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and quality life (QOL) through 11 months treatment. Outcomes subjects receiving active HGNS also surpassed those with inactive therapy 4 post-implant. Herein 3-year ...

background and aims. with the introduction of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) in dentistry, a question has been raised whether the technique significantly increases the diagnostic accuracy in comparison with other techniques or not. therefore, the present study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of cbct modality in detecting proximal carious lesions as compared to conventional periapica...

background: colorectal cancer (crc) is the second cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. there have been several studies reporting the proximal tumor shift, especially in western countries. in the present study, we investigated the clinicopathologic and anatomical distributions of colorectal tumors in iranian crc patients. materials and methods: in this retrospective cohort study,258 patient...

Hydrothermal-reactor experiments were conducted to investigate the potential formation of chlorite and microquartz grain coatings on detrital quartz feldspar grains, understand their role in inhibiting (albite) overgrowths. Modern-day proximal distal unconsolidated sediment from Bute Inlet (British Columbia, Canada) with known amounts precursor clay content, used as starting material. The sampl...

OBJECTIVES Within a randomised trial of neonatal vitamin A supplementation (VAS) in Guinea-Bissau, neonatal VAS did not affect overall infant mortality. We conducted a post-hoc analysis to test the hypothesis that neonatal VAS primes the response to subsequent vitamin A. METHODS All trial children were offered VAS after follow-up ended at 1 year of age (FU-VAS). We compared mortality between ...

acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is the most prevalent hematological malignant tumor during childhood. unilateral infiltration into the gums is less prevalent and more often observed in the aml type. a 12-year-old girl with symptoms of pain and swelling in the buccal vestibule and also at the posterior part of the right palate of the maxilla was referred to a private dental office. the patien...

rise in temperature occurred after soil temperature was measured in different time series. in this article, ldf (logarithmic derivative filter) innovative method is applied to detect anomalies. this method tests soil temperature time series for 12 earthquakes in iran with magnitudes of either five or greater than five. results from this method were collected. based on the results of ldf method ...

in this paper, plate-like nio nanoparticles were prepared by one-pot solid-state thermal decomposition of nickel (ii) schiff base complex as new precursor. first, the nickel (ii) schiff base precursor was prepared by solid-state grinding using nickel (ii) nitrate hexahydrate, ni(no3)2∙6h2o, and the schiff base ligand n,n′-bis-(salicylidene) benzene-1,4-diamine) for 30 min without using any solv...

BACKGROUNDS Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) sometimes require catheter ablation from both the endocardial and epicardial sides for their elimination, suggesting the presence of intramural VA foci. This study investigated the prevalence and electrocardiographic and electrophysiological characteristics of these idiopathic intramu...
