introduction: the objective of this study was to gather information about normal occlusion and arch dimensions in the primary teeth of the children belonging to an iranian population. methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 68 children from the city of mashhad in the 3-5 age range. dental arch dimensions, interrelationships of primary canine and second molars, overbite ...

Various surgical techniques have been developed for the repair of an interrupted aortic arch. However, tension and Gothic arch formation at the anastomotic site have remained major problems for these techniques: Excessive tension causes arch stenosis and left main bronchus compression, and Gothic arch configuration is related to cardiovascular complications. To resolve these problems, we adopte...

Foot arch is important for force transfer and shock absorption in impact sports. The purposes of this study were to measure the height of foot arch in static standing and dynamic activities, and to compare the difference of foot arch between level walking, vertical jump and sprint start. Twenty-three healthy subjects were recruited in this study. Significant differences between non-weight beari...

Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain proteins are central regulators of many cellular processes involving membrane dynamics. BAR domains sculpt phosphoinositide-rich membranes to generate membrane protrusions or invaginations. Here, we report that, in addition to regulating membrane geometry, BAR domains can generate extremely stable lipid microdomains by "freezing" phosphoinositide dynamics. This ...

BACKGROUND The branch anatomy of the aortic arch varies widely between individuals. These are likely due to alterations in the development of aortic arch arteries during the embryonic period. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of the aortic arch branch variations in the local population and provide useful data to intervention radiologists, neck and thoracic surgeons. METH...

OBJECTIVES Systemic hypertension is the main late complication after arch reconstruction in patients with arch obstruction. Gothic arch geometry is suspected to be one of its possible causes. Accordingly, we evaluated here if a modified arch repair technique using an autologous pulmonary patch is effective in preventing gothic arch development. METHODS Fifty infants who underwent arch repair ...

conclusions this approach may be an appropriate approach to the zygomatic arch in the zmc fractures and eliminates the use of the coronal flap. introduction zygomatic arch fractures are common injuries in the maxillofacial injuries. sometimes it is necessary to fix the unstable fragments of the zygomatic arch. case presentation we introduce a combination of transconjunctival and lateral canthot...

Different techniques can be used to design and manufacture a full-arch, implant-supported prosthesis, different materials chosen for its production, each with advantages limitations. One of the possibilities provided by digital tools is their ability maintain low costs give more patients chance choose this commonly expensive treatment. The present work aims protocol realization implant-fixed co...
