OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to assess the skeletal stability after large mandibular advancement (> 10 mm) with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and skeletal elastic intermaxillary fixation and to correlate the skeletal stability with the vertical facial type. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 33 consecutive patients underwent bimaxillary surgery to correct skeletal Class II ma...

Skeletal dysplasia is a complex group of bone and cartilage disorders with strong clinical genetic heterogeneity. Several types have prenatal phenotypes, it difficult to make molecular diagnosis rapidly. In this study, the cause 16 Chinese fetuses skeletal were analyzed, 12 cases yielded positive results including one deletion in DMD gene detected by SNP-array 14 variants other 6 genes whole ex...

pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pnet) are uncommon pancreatic neoplasms, accounting for 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors. however, they have a better prognosis and long-term survival compared to exocrine pancreatic cancer. pnets can be divided into functional or non-functional based upon whether or not they excrete active substances relevant to specific clinical syndromes. skeletal muscle metast...

statement of problem: some vertical changes might be observed during the first stage of orthodontic treatment, aligning and leveling. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate dental and/or skeletal vertical changes occurring in the first stage of preadjusted orthodontic treatment. materials and methods: fourteen patients with an average age of 14.1 years were selected for this study. prea...

The effect of phytochemical compounds on indicators oxidative stress, inflammation and skeletal muscle damage caused by physical activity

Skeletal dysplasias are a group of rare genetic disorders that affect growth and development the skeleton, leading to physical deformities other medical problems. High-throughput genome sequencing technologies have made it easier genotype disorder, but do not always reflect phenotypic outcome. CHST3-related skeletal dysplasia is caused by reduced function carbohydrate sulfotransferase sulfates ...

The lion-bull iconography during the Achaemenian period of ancient Persia has generated different theories of astronomicaland seasonal events besides the suggestions that it could be the symbol of the time cycle of the day, with lion representingthe sun and bull the night. However, the present paper draws the reader’s attention to the hitherto unexplored angle ofzoology to understand physiognom...

Abstract: Background: Ellis–Van-Creveld syndrome (EVC), otherwise known as chondroectodermal dysplasia. EVC presents several skeletal manifestations and congenital heart malformations. EVC syndrome consists of a tetrad of principal features: chondroectodermal dysplasia, polydactyly, congenital heart defects, and hypoplastic nails and teeth. In this syndrome alteration in the mechanical proper...
