Materials and methods This is a retrospective study examining coronal plane spine radiographs of 27 adolescents diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis and prescribed a Boston Brace-style thoracolumbosacral orthosis. Cobb angle, decompensation of C7, and Overall Balance Summation (OBS) (Carlson and Smith, 2007) were measured on pre-brace, in-brace, and immediately post-brace x-rays for each subject...

Fig. 2: Dynamics of Mn transport from the NAc in coronal (top) and sagittal slices (bottom). Averaged images of registered pre injection data are overlapped by color-coded parametric maps, displaying significant intensity changes (p<0.05) over time. Red indicates the significant intensity change between pre injection and 30 min after injection, orange between 30 min and 4 hr after injection, ye...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the coronal seal of four temporary filling materials, coltosol, zonalin, zamherir, and intermediate restorative material (irm) by the india ink dye penetration test. materials and methods: endodontic access preparations were prepared in 120 extracted intact human premolars. the teeth were randomly divided into six groups including ...

Disease bulk is an important prognostic factor in early stage Hodgkin lymphoma, but its definition is unclear in the computed tomography era. This retrospective analysis investigated the prognostic significance of bulky disease measured in transverse and coronal planes on computed tomography imaging. Early stage Hodgkin lymphoma patients (n=185) treated with chemotherapy with or without radioth...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the changes in cross-sectional area morphology of curved canals after instrumentation with Profile((R)), Hero 642((R)), and K3((R)) using digital imaging analysis. Study design Thirty mesial mandibular curved canals were used (25-40 degrees ). The molars were embedded in resin and the roots were sectioned transversely at three levels: apical, middle, and coronal. The canal...

This paper investigates the articulatory characteristics of the syllable-initial coronal stop ‘d’, fricatives ‘s sh x’, affricates ‘z zh j’ and approximant ‘r’ in the Peking dialect. Palatograms and linguograms show that the syllable-initial (i) ‘d’ is apico-laminal denti-alveolar [ ]; (ii) ‘s z’ are laminal alveolar or denti-alveolar [ ]; (iii) ‘sh zh r’ are apical postalveolar or pre-palatal ...

BACKGROUND Tethered spinal cord is frequently associated with scoliosis. It is still controversial whether a prophylactic untethering is necessary before correction procedure in scoliosis patients with tethered spinal cord. In this study we determined the clinical outcome of a one-stage posterior scoliosis correction without a prophylactic untethering for treating scoliosis with an asymptomatic...

Pre-Eruptive Intracronal Radiolucency (PEIR) is seen as a radiolucent anomaly at coronal dentin of unerupted teeth. PEIR is often confused because of similarities with dental caries. Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorptions are typically observed as radiolucency in dentin tissue, and the lesions are close to the enamel dentin junction. Lesions are often coincidentally noticed on the radiographs of...

T2-weighted coronal images of hind limb region with a subcutaneous tumor (yellow circle); pre(A, E) and 3 h post-contrast injection (B, F). Fluorescence images (C, G) and Perl’s staining (D, H) of tumor tissue. Injected contrast agent: control NE (A-D) or RGD-NE (E-H). Figure 1. Negative staining TEM (A) and schematic representation (B) of RGD-NE. RGD-Functionalized Superparamagnetic Nanoemulsi...
