OBJECTIVE To determine functional results after lateral semicircular canal fenestration on congenital conductive hearing loss. STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Amir-Alam otolaryngology tertiary referral center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty patients with congenital oval window malformations who were not candidates for ossicular reconstruction underwent lateral semicircula...

The potential impact of Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in modulating mid-latitude precipitation across southern and western regions of Australia is assessed in a series of atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations. Two sets of AGCM integrations forced with a seasonally evolving characteristic dipole pattern in Indian Ocean SST consistent with observed “dry-y...

Introduction: Many epidemiological studies have been conducted to determine the prevalence of the various types of the dental anomalies. The aim of the present study was determination of developmental and acquired dental anomalies in patients attending the faculty of dentistry in Rasht, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 1224 digital panoramic ra-diographs...

Climate can affect the geographic and seasonal patterns of vector-borne disease incidence such as West Nile Virus (WNV) infections. We explore the association between climatic factors and the occurrence of West Nile fever (WNF) or West Nile neuro-invasive disease (WNND) in humans in Northern Greece over the years 2010-2014. Time series over a period of 30 years (1979-2008) of climatic data of a...

The domain-filling, forward trajectory calculation model developed by Schoeberl and Dessler (2011) is used to further investigate processes that produce upper tropospheric and lower stratospheric water vapor anomalies. We examine the pathways parcels take from the base of the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) to the lower stratosphere. Most parcels found in the lower stratosphere arise from East ...

* Director of Research Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic When you speak of subluxation, the first description that often jumps to mind is the traditional misalignment, occlusion of a foramen, pressure on a nerve and interference (MOPI) model proposed by B.J. Palmer.1 In fact there are several modern models currently in use as well. Some are conceptual models, such as the Vertebral Sublux...
