Control interventions (often called "sham," "placebo," or "attention controls") are essential for studying the efficacy mechanism of physical, psychological, and self-management in clinical trials. This article presents core recommendations designing, conducting, reporting control to establish a quality standard non-pharmacological intervention research. A framework additional considerations supports researchers' decision making this context. We also provide checklist enhance research...
Objective: A cross-sectional study was employed to determine the psychosocial effects of cleft lip and/or palate among children and young adults, compared with a control group adults without palate. Participants: The comprised 160 113 All participants were between 8 21 years age. Outcome measures: Psychological functioning (anxiety, self-esteem, depression, behavioral problems) assessed using validated psychological questionnaires. Happiness facial appearance rated visual analog scale....
This study investigated the perception of discrepancies between dental and facial midlines by orthodontists young laypeople. A smiling photograph a adult female was modified moving midline relative to midline. Twenty (10 males 10 females) 20 laypeople scored attractiveness smile on original image each images using 10-point scale.
This randomized placebo‐controlled cross‐over trial assessed the effectiveness of a mandibular advancement appliance (MAA) in managing obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Twenty‐one adults, with confirmed OSA, were provided maxillary placebo and MAA for 4–6 weeks each, order. Questionnaires at baseline after each bed‐partners' reports snoring severity (loudness number nights per week), patients' daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Score, ESS). The Apnoea Hypopnoea Index (AHI) Oxygen...
(1) to determine the opinion of parents regarding psychosocial functioning their child with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP); (2) identify predictors functioning; and (3) level agreement between children CLP parents.One hundred twenty-nine 96 without participated in this cross-sectional study.Parental child's self-esteem, anxiety, happiness, problems caused by facial appearance were assessed using visual analogue scales. Parents completed Child Behavior Checklist interviewed.Children more...
The association between lower-extremity loading and clinically relevant knee symptoms at different time points after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is unclear. Vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) from walking was compared individuals with without in three cohorts: <12 months post-ACLR, 12-24 >24 post-ACLR.One hundred twenty-eight unilateral ACLR were classified as symptomatic or asymptomatic, based on previously defined cutoff values for the Knee Osteoarthritis Injury...
ABSTRACT Purpose To compare gait biomechanics throughout stance phase 6 and 12 months after unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) between ACLR contralateral limbs compared with controls. Methods Vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), knee flexion angle (KFA), internal extension moment (KEM) were collected bilaterally post-ACLR in 30 individuals (50% female, 22 ± 3 yr, body mass index = 23.8 2.2 kg·m −2 ) at a single time point matched uninjured controls 4 23.6 2.1 )....
This cephalometric study investigated morphological changes occurring in the pharynx between early and middle adult life. A sample of 16 young adults (mean age 20.2 years) had films taken repeated after an interval 32 years. Changes pharyngeal skeletal size, soft tissue thickness, airway depth, palate dimensions were examined, addition to standard craniofacial measurements. The results showed increases maxillary prominence, upper lower anterior face height. nasopharyngeal unchanged over...
This study investigated the influence of changing lower face vertical proportion on attractiveness ratings scored by lay people.Ninety-two social science students rated a series silhouettes with normal, reduced or increased proportions. The random sequences 10 images included an image Eastman normal height relative to total [lower anterior height/total (LAFH/TAFH) 55 per cent], and LAFH/TAFH decreased up four standard deviations (SD) from norm. All had skeletal Class I antero-posterior (AP)...
To test the hypothesis that self-perception of dental and facial attractiveness among patients requiring orthognathic surgery is no different from control patients.Happiness with appearance was assessed using questionnaires completed by 162 who required treatment 157 subjects. Visual analog scale, binary, open response data were collected. Analysis carried out a general linear model, logistic regression, chi-square tests.Orthognathic less happy their than controls. Class II women had lower...

This study aimed to determine the threshold of aesthetic impairment where orthodontic treatment would be sought by a sample lay people. Using 10-grade Aesthetic Component (AC) scale Index Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), 215 university students selected level that represented point at which they seek treatment. Only nine (4.3 per cent) respondents recorded grade beyond 5 in AC. The AC photograph 4 was found most commonly photograph. Subjects who visited dentist every 6 months were more...
To what extent should Supreme Court justices be appointed on the basis of ideology and politics as opposed to qualifications experience only? We examine how Americans' preferences regarding this question are influenced by their perceptions politicized in it goes about its work. From a "backlash" perspective, such diminish for political appointment process, whereas "political reinforcement" perspective suggests an enhancement effect. National survey data show that large segment public...
The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the effectiveness a mandibular advancement appliance (MAA) in managing severe snoring. Twenty‐eight adults with snoring and normal overnight oximetry were recruited from sleep disorder clinics. A maxillary placebo MAA worn by each subject for period 4–6 weeks each. Questionnaires at baseline after assessed bed partners' reports severity (loudness number nights per week), patients' records daytime sleepiness. Twenty‐five subjects...
This study examined the attractiveness of facial profiles. One hundred and two social science students (28 males 74 females) rated a series silhouettes with normal, Class II or III A random sequence 10 images included an image Eastman normal SNB value 78 degrees, values 2.5, 5, 7.5 degrees above below normal. duplicate in each was used to assess reproducibility. The participants scored also indicated whether they would seek treatment if their own profile. profile angle as most attractive....
Quadriceps weakness is associated with disability and aberrant gait biomechanics after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Strength-sufficiency cutoff scores, which normalize quadriceps strength to the mass of an individual, can predict who will report better function ACLR. However, whether differ between individuals meet a strength-sufficiency (strong) those do not (weak) remains unknown.To determine vertical ground reaction force, knee-flexion angle, internal knee-extension...
