E C O N O M I C R E V I E W Second Quarter 2005 The 2001 recession displayed unique characteristics in comparison to other recessions. Although moderate in terms of the decline in output, the recession was unique in that the contraction in measured output was driven almost entirely by retrenchment in business capital spending. Consumer spending growth remained positive, and residential investme...

Soft tissue recession leads to root exposure which results in root caries, unaesthetic appearance and dentinal hypersensitivity. Aesthetic treatment such as root coverage procedures have become integral part of periodontal treatment. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a new promising autogenous, less invasive and effective mode of treating gingival recession. This case report highlights the use of P...

BACKGROUND The impact of macroeconomic conditions on health has been extensively explored, as well as the relationship between individual unemployment and health. There are, however, few studies taking both aspects into account and even fewer studies looking at the relationship in a life course perspective. In this study the aim was to assess the role of macroeconomic conditions, such as nation...

BACKGROUND Diverse variables are implicated in the pathogenesis of gingival recession; more detailed knowledge about the relationship between the clinical presentation of gingival recession and assorted risk indicators may lead to improved patient monitoring, early intervention, and subsequent prevention. The objective was to evaluate clinically gingival recession in a homogeneous Mexican adult...

Mixed-integer convex representable (MICP-R) sets are those that can be represented exactly through a mixed-integer programming formulation. Following up on recent work by Lubin et al. (in: Eisenbrand (ed) Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization - 19th International Conference, Springer, Waterloo), (Math. Oper. Res. 47:720-749, 2022) we investigate structural geometric properties of M...

purpose: to determine the effect of recession and myectomy on inferior oblique overaction (iooa). method: this study was performed on 50 patients (82 eyes) scheduled for iooa surgery who were randomly divided into two groups: recession (r) versus myectomy (m). a complete eye examination was performed before the operation. io was cut off at its inferior temporal region when using m procedure. in...

Background and purpose - Many methods of gastrocnemius lengthening have been described, with different surgical challenges, outcomes, and risks to the sural nerve. Our aims were (1) to locate the gastrocnemius muscular-tendinous junction in relation to the mid-length of the fibula (from here on designated the mid-fibula), (2) to compare the dorsiflexion achieved with dorsal recession or ventral...

BACKGROUND Changes over time in self-rated health (SRH) are increasingly documented during the current economic crisis, though whether these are due to selection, causation, or methodological artefacts is unclear. This study accordingly investigates changes in SRH, and social inequalities in these changes, before and during the economic crisis in 23 European countries. METHODS We used balance...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the rate of abusive head trauma (AHT) in 3 regions of the United States before and during an economic recession and assess whether there is a relationship between the rate of AHT and county-level unemployment rates. METHODS Clinical data were collected for AHT cases diagnosed in children younger than 5 years from January 1, 2004 until June 30, 2009, by hospital-based chi...
