Vertical heterophoria (VH) is the latent vertical misalignment of the eyes when the retinal images are dissociated, vertical orthophoria (VO) when there is no misalignment. Studies on postural control, during binocular vision in upright stance, reported that healthy subjects with small VH vs. VO are less stable, but the experimental cancellation of VH with an appropriate prism improves postural...

• The use of subsurface intake types for seawater RO facilities was documented. • Feedwater quality improvements by using subsurface intakes were demonstrated. • Reduced environmental impacts using subsurface intakes were discussed. • Capacity limits on various subsurface intake types were assessed. • Life-cycle cost savings using subsurface intakes were preliminarily analyzed. a b s t r a c t ...

Various studies have shown that the external focus of attention is better than the internal focus of attention. But, so far no study has been investigated the level of electrical activity of the rectus abdominus muscle as a trunk stabilizer muscle. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of focus of attention on electromyography activity of the rectus abdominus muscle...

In view of the insufficient analysis coupled joint seismic response intake tower–reservoir water–foundation boundary under oblique incidence SV wave space, a three-dimensional dynamic equation space is established in this paper. The external input method viscoelastic artificial combined with equivalent load and acoustic medium theory are used to simulate action reservoir water, angle change rea...

abstract background and aim: considering the widespread development of implants in dental treatment plans, linear measurements on panoramic radiography are of especial importance. in the present study we investigated the effect of head misalignment up to 15° around vertical and horizontal axes on the magnification rate of digital panoramic radiography in each part of upper and lower jaws. mater...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the position of mandibular third molar (m3) and vertical skeletal malocclusions. methods: materials for the study consisted of panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalograms of 73 fifteen to nineteen-year-old class i patients (girls=66%, boys= 34%). patients were classified into three groups based on four vertical ...

results first needle placement without imaging resulted in blood return in 1/199 participants and positive epidurography in 179/199 (90%). minimal needle repositioning resulted in a positive epidurogram in the remaining 19 attempts. no intravascular injection patterns were observed. conclusions this compares favorably to published success rates of fluoroscopically-guided technique and was well ...

osteoporosis is one of the health problems that affect lives of many people. this study was designed to assess nutritional intake and dietary habit  in osteoporotic patients . the population of this analytical cross-sectional study was 120 osteoporotic patients with 45-89 years old referred to rheumatologic clinic of tabriz .nutritional intake and dietary habit was determined by 3 day food reca...
