To evaluate the torque expression of right permanent maxillary central incisor with varying bracket positions and to compare same tooth different crown-root angulations. Finite Element Models Maxillary Central Incisor were used for simulation various angles. Three FEM models a angles (170˚,175˚,180˚, 165°) constructed heights subjected 30° labial root resultant expressions evaluated. The model ...

We describe a simple technique for excision of rhinophyma using equipment found commonly in theatre. The nose is infi ltrated with lignocaine and adrenaline, and a colposcopic loop electrode (15mm disposable loop electrode; Meditech, Shaftesbury, UK) is used to shave excess tissue in smooth planes while providing simultaneous haemostasis. The burr (6mm Bud Trimmer Burr; Mercian, Bromsgrove, UK)...

Optotune has developed an Electroactive Polymer Actuator-based solution to move a diffuser and drastically reduce the speckle contrast of Laser beams: the LSR-5-17 (Laser Speckle Reducer). With its integrated miniaturized electronics for HV generation and motion control, the LSR-5-17 provides a compact 27 x 21 x 6mm solution with a simple 5V micro USB interface for power supply. A miniaturized ...

BACKGROUND Ureteric stones greater than 6mm require intervention. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy (URS) with intra-corporeal lithotripsy (ICL) are two least invasive therapies. Both show acceptable stone clearance. What should be the first line of treatment in distal ureteric stones? We conducted this study to compare the efficacy-of ESWL and pneumatic ICL in order ...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM In the sandwich technique, the undesirable bond between the composite resin and glass-ionomer cement (GIc) is one of the most important factors which lead to the failure of restoration. Total-etch and self-etch adhesives may improve the bond strength based on their pH. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength between the nanofilled com...

OBJECTIVE To examine the amount of change in color and color parameters of a composite resin (Filtek P60) polymerized by five different polymerization methods. METHODS A Teflon mold (6mm in diameter, 2mm in height) was used to prepare the composite resin discs (n=10). G1: Polymerization with inlay oven; G2: Polymerization with HQTH and autoclave; G3: Polymerization with LED and autoclave; G4:...

This experiment considers the reliability of a variety of different electronic components and evaluates them on 0.200” power computing printed circuit boards with OSP. Single-sided assemblies were built separately for the Topside and Bottom-side of the boards. This data is for boards on the FR4-06 substrate. Isothermal storage at high temperature was used to accelerate the aging of the assembli...

A 2-year-old Indian girl was referred with symptoms of biliary colic and obstructive jaundice of 3 weeks’ duration. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed dilation of intrahepatic biliary radicles, a distended gallbladder, and a dilated common bile duct (CBD) of 15mm (normal diameter up to 6mm) containing multiple ill-defined, oval, hyperechoic shadows near the lower end (▶Fig. 1). Magnetic resonan...
