BACKGROUND Dystonia is a heterogeneous hyperkinetic disorder. The anatomical location of the dystonia helps clinicians guide their evaluation and treatment plan. When dystonia involves masticatory, lingual, and pharyngeal muscles, it is referred to as oromandibular dystonia (OMD). METHODS We identified patients diagnosed with OMD in a Movement Disorders Clinic and Laryngeal Movement Disorders...

Aim. To describe 7 years of activity of "CROMa" (Coordination of Research on Osteonecrosis of the Jaws) project of "Sapienza" University of Rome. Materials and Methods. A preventive and therapeutic care pathway was created for patients with bisphosphonates (BPs) exposure. Demographic, social, behavioural, pharmacological, and clinical variables were registered in a dedicated database. Results. ...

BACKGROUND The generic and oral health-related quality of life (QoL) has provided opportunity for investigation of the interrelations among generic health, oral health, and related outcomes. The purpose of this study was to identify the generic and oral QoL in the patients with oral mucosal disease (OMD). METHODS Five hundred and thirty-eight OMDs were recruited in this study. The instruments...

A new method, herein referred to as Optimal Mode Decomposition (OMD), of finding a linear model to describe the evolution of a fluid flow is presented. The method estimates the linear dynamics of a high-dimensional system which is first projected onto a subspace of a user-defined fixed rank. An iterative procedure is used to find the optimal combination of linear model and subspace that minimis...

Organic matter digestibility (OMD), an essential criterion for the evaluation of the nutrition of ruminants, cannot be measured easily at pasture. Therefore, the objective of this study was to test and compare 2 methods of OMD prediction based on the fecal CP content (CPf) or near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) applied to feces. First, published equations derived from fecal N (Eq. 1(C...

Occult macular dystrophy (OMD) is an inherited macular disease characterized by progressive visual decline with the absence of visible retinal abnormalities. Typical alterations of the retinal structure are detectable by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD‑OCT). Mutations in the RP1L1 gene have been identified to be responsible for the disease in Asian subjects. The present study a...

Purpose: Osteomodulin (OMD) is a Small Leucine Rich Proteoglycan (SLRP) highly specific of the bone extracellular matrix. Its production and expression are impaired in subchondral sclerosis associated with osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to investigate effects OMD on osteoblasts osteoclasts culture. Methods: Different concentrations (2.5, 10, 40 160 ng/ml), corresponding range concentrati...

One of the submissions to the CAESAR competition for the design of a new authenticated encryption scheme is Offset Merkle-Damg̊ard (OMD). At FSE 2015, Reyhanitabar et al. introduced p-OMD, an improvement of OMD that processes the associated data almost for free. As an extra benefit, p-OMD was claimed to offer integrity against nonce-misusing adversaries, a property that OMD does not have. In thi...
