Prader-Willi syndrome is a mental retardation genetic disorder also characterized by hypogonadism, hyperphagia and obesity. We report on a four-years-old boy, born to consanguineous parents, with uncommon co-occurrence of Prader-Willi syndrome, 47,XXY karyotype (Klinefelter syndrome) and coronal craniosynostosis. These are different unrelated conditions and it was not described before in the sa...

We develop a new method for the determination of the absolute value of the magnetic field strength in coronal closed magnetic structures, based on the analysis of flare-generated oscillations of coronal loops. Interpretation of the oscillations observed in terms of global standing kink waves allows to connect the period of the oscillations and the loops length with the magnetic field strength i...

Coronal seismology, a new field of solar physics that emerged over the last 5 years, provides unique information on basic physical properties of the solar corona. The inhomogeneous coronal plasma supports a variety of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) wave modes, which manifest themselves as standing waves (MHD oscillations) and propagating waves. Here, we briefly review the physical properties of obs...

  Abstract   Background: To evaluate proximal junctional segment changes in Adolescent Idiopathic   Scoliosis(AIS) the posterior spinal fusion and also instrumentation also and   finding of probable risk factors, were all considered in this study.   Methods: We retrospectively reviewed radiographs of 121 consecutive patients   who underwent posterior spinal fusion for AIS from T3 or below, with...

The amounts of apical enlargement have been a controversial issue for a long time. The enlargement of the apical part of the canal may severely impact the endodontic prognosis. Enlargement of the apical portion to a larger size may negatively affect the ability to control the filling material during root canal obturation. In addition, an open-apex increases the risk for overfilling which has be...

Introduction: Horizontal root fracture (HRF) generally has a good prognosis of healing at fracture line after repositioning and flexible splinting. However, various factors such as delayed referral may unfavorably influence close reduction of firmly displaced coronal fragments and the long-term prognosis of healing at fracture line. Case 1: A 25-year-old woman with HRF in her maxillary central ...

introduction: ca(oh) 2 -containing/forming materials are conventionally used for indirect pulp-capping and are theoretically able to release ca 2+ and oh - ions for hydrolytic dissociation. however, no evidence exists for ion diffusion through the remaining coronal dentin. the aim of this study was to design an innovative experimental set-up to test the ability of ca(oh) 2 -containing and ca(oh...

introduction: mandibular fracture is the most common facial bone fracture due to facial trauma. a variety of imagings have been used for diagnosis of mandibular fractures. however, the choice of imaging for diagnosis of mandibular fractures is controversial.present study compares the accuracy of the three most common imaging methods in mandibular fracture diagnosis panoramic radiography, corona...
