The management of impacted third molars (M3s) or wisdom teeth is a decision encountered by oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs) daily. The decision-making is usually very straightforward, owing to the presence of disease. A challenging management decision is how to manage the asymptomatic, disease-free wisdom tooth. For these types of M3s, the treatment is essentially a binary choice: (1) ope...

PURPOSE The goals of this study were to measure surgeons abilities to estimate third molar (M3) extraction difficulty and to identify variables associated with errors in estimates of difficulty. MATERIALS AND METHODS To address our research purpose, we implemented a prospective cohort study and enrolled a sample of surgeons who remove M3s. Predictor variables were categorized as either surgeo...

The operating point of a propeller hydropower station will deviate from the effective workspace while discharge reduces excessively during dry seasons. It usually leads to decrease in efficiency and even being unable work. To solve above problem, scheme named decreasing capacity increase was presented this article. A low-specific-speed runner with fixed blades that has same installing dimension...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of preoperative supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids on the healing of colonic anastomoses in malnourished rats receiving paclitaxel. METHODS we studied 160 male Wistar rats, divided in two groups: one subjected to malnutrition by pair feeding (M) for four weeks, and another that received food ad libitum (W). In the fourth week, the groups were further divid...
