This study aimed to assess by surface electromyography (sEMG) the changes in sub-mental, orbicularis oris, and masticatory muscle activity after a lingual frenulectomy. Rehabilitation exercises in subjects with ankyloglossia, characterized by Class I malocclusion, were assessed as well. A total of 24 subjects were selected. Thirteen subjects (mean age 7±2.5years) with Class I malocclusion and a...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to demonstrate that frenotomy can help improve breastfeeding, tongue movement, and the mother’s comfort, if assessment criteria are respected infant’s function age observed. Frenotomy performed on two babies with breastfeeding difficulties who came CEPAE - Center for Research Dental Care, in 2018, as part course Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Preventi...

Aquifer tests yield estimations of hydrogeological parameters through suitable analytical models from field data recorded as drawdown variations by time or distance. In practice, most often a single model iK adopted with a set of assumptions, and unfortunately, field data deviations from the model type curves are not considered in interpretations . This is a rather mechanistic approach which im...

The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, is a pest of soybean in Asia, and it has become a major pest of this crop in North America with large outbreaks that cause significant yield loss. Host-plant resistance is one management tactic being developed against soybean aphid in North America, and resistance may be manifested as antixenosis, antibiosis, or tolerance. In this study, choice tests were cond...

We analyse the response of the TIE-GCM computer model of the upper atmosphere to atmospheric tides at its lower boundary and to variations of night-time ionization rates. TIE-GCM is an expensive code, and we choose to use our thirty evaluations of the model to construct an emulator, and then use the emulator for the analysis. TIE-GCM has some non-standard features, namely a periodic input, and ...
