PURPOSE This study determined and compared the distances from the maxillary root apices of posterior teeth to the floor of the maxillary sinus, or maxillary sinus distances (MSDs), and the distances from the mandibular root apices of the posterior teeth to the mandibular canal, or mandibular canal distances (MCDs), in Thai subjects with skeletal open bite and skeletal normal bite. MATERIALS A...

Purpose: Individuals with schizophrenia have a vastly reduced lifespan compared with the general population; comorbid cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for them. Furthermore, these individuals are more likely to have metabolic syndrome-related disorders (MSDs), which increase CVD risk. We examined the medical records of long-term inpatients with schizophrenia to identif...

OBJECTIVE Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the leading cause of work disability in the developed economies. The objective of this study was to describe trends in the incidence of MSDs attributed to work exposures in Ontario over the period 2004-2011. METHODS An observational study of work-related morbidity obtained from three independent sources for a complete population of a...

Introduction: The implementation of online learning cannot be separated from the use electronic devices (mobile phones, tablets or laptops) and internet connections. duration position student body during are often not ergonomic, so there is a risk Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints.The study to measure effect MSDs’ complaints yet performed, specifically in nursing. This aims analyze re...

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are a common problem among sonographers, with prevalence in human sonographers of 80-90%. However, this problem appears to be largely neglected in the veterinary literature. Awareness of MSDs, ergonomic redesign, workplace management, and physical self-care are components to reducing the risk of developing MSDs. Work-place redesign and alterations in...

Many software-intensive systems consist of multiple components that provide complex functionality by their interaction. The scenario-based languages LSCs and MSDs are intuitive, but precise means to specify interactions; the engineers can specify how a system can, must, or must not react to events in its environment. A key benefit of LSCs/MSDs is that they can be executed via the playout algori...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the annual cost of temporary work disability (TWD) caused by musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs) in Spain and its variations between regions (autonomous communities: ACs) and paying institutions. METHOD Descriptive study of the costs of MSD-related TWD in ACs in 2007. The Spanish National Institute of Social Security (NISS) provided aggregate data. Extrapolations to the rest...
