The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reproducible index of orthodontic treatment priority. After reviewing the available literature, it was felt that this could be best achieved by using two separate components to record firstly the dental health and functional indications for treatment, and secondly the aesthetic impairment caused by the malocclusion. A modification of the index us...

The crosssectional study was carried out to determine the degree of improvement in malocclusion after orthodontic treatment provided at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Karachi, and to find out which malocclusion showed a marked reduction in PAR score after orthodontic treatment. It was conducted from March 2007 to April, 2007. This study evaluated the last 50 consecutively finished ort...

First described by Bechtel and collaborators1, cerebellar liponeurocytomas are posterior fossa lesions composed of densely packed neuronal cells admixed with foci of welldifferentiated adipocyte-like cells. Similar tumors have also been referred to as lipomatous medulloblastoma, lipidized medulloblastoma, medullocytoma, neurolipocytoma, lipomatous glioneurocytoma, or lipidized mature neuroectod...

the mathematical properties of nano molecules are an interesting branch of nanoscience forresearches nowadays. the periodic open single wall tubulene is one of the nano moleculeswhich is built up from two caps and a distancing nanotube/neck. we discuss how toautomatically construct the graph of this molecule and plot the graph by spring layoutalgorithm in graphviz and netwrokx packages. the sim...

Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, during a 10-month period (fro...

PURPOSE With the increasing prevalence of orthodontic treatment in adults, clear aligner treatments are becoming more popular. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of orthodontic treatment on periodontal tissue and to compare orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances (FA) to clear aligner treatment (CAT) in periodontitis patients. METHODS A total of 35 patients who underwent ort...

Introduction: In 3DCRT the number of therapeutic fields has dramatic impact on treatment results especially in stomach cancer. Traditionally, for radiotherapy of stomach cancer the therapeutic procedure was using two fields (AP- PA or AP Lateral with wedge) to achieve smooth and homogeneous dose distribution in tumor. But nowadays, adding lateral or oblique fields to aforement...
