conclusions according to our results, these clinical measurements would provide valid information regarding the structure of the medial longitudinal arch. patients & methods clinical measurements of arch index (ai) and foot posture index (fpi) were performed on 40 subjects (18 boys and 22 girls), aged from 5 to 7 years referred to adabian rehabilitation center, kermanshah, iran. the study was c...

For optimization of real-world arch dams, it is unavoidable to consider two or more conflicting objectives. This paper employs two multi-objective differential evolution algorithms (MoDE) in combination of a parallel working MATLAB-APDL code to obtain a set of Pareto solutions for optimal shape of arch dams. Full dam-reservoir interaction subjected to seismic loading is considered. A benchmark ...

conclusions it seems that plantar changes have insignificant effect on static and dynamic indices evaluated by the biodex balance system. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate the relation between these structural characteristics and balance indices. patients and methods the study population was 100 male and female students from semnan university of medical sciences, semnan, iran. to e...

conclusions the axillary arch variation is very clinically important, because it may entrap and implicate the neurovascular bundle. also it is important for surgeons during operation, so they need to be aware of possible presence of such variations. case presentation during routine dissection, we encountered an aberrant slip of muscle and fascia expanded from latissimus dorsi to pectoralis majo...

conclusions this study shows that simultaneous arch osteotomy and coronoidectomy may be an appropriate treatment procedure for zygomatico-coronoid interference. introduction zygomatico-coronoid interference is a rare type of mandibular extracapsular ankylosis. there is a lack of information on the treatment of these cases in the literature. condylectomy and coronoidectomy are not always the bes...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The stability of orthodontic treatment depends on preserving the patient's pretreatment arch form and arch size during and after treatment. PURPOSE This investigation was aimed to study the size and shape of Iranian mandibular dental arch and evaluate the correlation of their average dental arch with commercially available preformed rectangular nickel-titanium arch wi...

Three major arteries normally originate from the aortic arch. Variations of the aortic arch branches are observed in some cases. Rare variation of the aortic arch branches is originated from the retroesophageal right subclavian (RRS) artery as the last branch of the aortic arch. Variation of artery is possibly associated with the variation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. This research p...
