When anthropometric methods were introduced into clinical practice to quantify changes in the craniofacial framework, features distinguishing various races/ethnic groups discovered. To treat congenital or post-traumatic facial disfigurements members of these successfully, surgeons require access databases based on accurate measurements. Normative data measurements are indispensable precise determination degree deviations from normal. The set face population studied was gathered by an...
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence burnout, and associated factors, amongst family doctors (FDs) in European countries. Methodology. A cross-sectional survey FDs conducted using a custom-designed validated questionnaire which incorporated Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) as well questions about demographic working experience, health, lifestyle job satisfaction. MBI-HSS scores were analysed three dimensions emotional exhaustion (EE),...
We comprehensively assessed health care utilization in a population-based sample of homeless adults and matched controls under universal insurance system.
Objectives. We identified predictors of emergency department (ED) use among a population-based prospective cohort homeless adults in Toronto, Ontario. Methods. assessed ED visit rates using administrative data from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (2005–2009). then used logistic regression to identify use. Frequent users were defined as participants with top decile (≥ 4.7 visits per person-year). Results. Among 1165 adults, 892 (77%) had at least 1 during study. The average...
In Brief Surgical correction of craniofacial disfigurements depends for its success on precise knowledge the norms patient's racial/ethnic groups. The North American whites should be restricted to patients Caucasian origin and not applied members other races. This study therefore sought determine differences in anthropometric measurements complex between African-American white subjects both sexes similar age (18–25 years old). group consisted healthy young adult African-Americans, 50 males...
The aim of this cross-sectional anthropometric study was to determine the age-related changes in facial framework during adulthood healthy white North Americans European ancestry (261 male subjects and 339 female subjects). Five measurements, four horizontal one vertical, defining were taken from skin bony surface face maturation period (16-20 years) 10-year age categories (21-90 years). As well, thickness soft-tissue cover between these two anatomical levels measured. 21 40 years...
This open clinical trial investigated the potential short-term efficacy and safety of divalproex sodium in treatment adolescents young adults with bipolar affective disorder an acute manic phase. Fifteen subjects were treated for 7 weeks (mean drug level blood +/- standard deviation at completion, 642.85 183.08 mumol/liter) assessed weekly Modified Mania Rating Scale (MMRS), Brief Psychiatric (BPRS), Global Assessment (GAS), Clinical Impressions (CGI). Of 15 who entered study, 8 showed...
Measurements (23 projective linear, 2 angular) taken in the 6 craniofacial regions of 127 patients with Down's syndrome showed that 63.1% (1,836 2,908) were within normal limits and 36.9% (1,072) outside them. Abnormal measurements subnormal 90.8% (973) supernormal 9.2% (99). All statistical summaries based on z scores (adjusting for age sex differences) classified into a small number ranges to yield simplified frequency distribution each measurement. The purpose study was identify closest...
To compare the Reciproc Blue, and ProTaper Universal Retreatment systems with regard to effective removal of epoxy resin-based sealer gutta-percha during retreatment oval, straight root canals.Forty-five extracted, human mandibular first premolars single oval canals were selected on basis cone beam computed tomography evaluations. The instrumented Next system up X2 file, filled using cold lateral condensation technique. After 1 month, samples randomly divided into three groups (n = 15)...
Objective To assess the accuracy of self‐reported ambulatory care visits, emergency department ( ED ) encounters, and overnight hospitalizations in a population‐based sample homeless adults. Data Source Self‐report survey data administrative health utilization databases. Study Design Self‐reported use past 12 months was compared to encounter records among 1,163 adults recruited 2004–2005 from shelters meal programs Toronto, Ontario. Extraction Methods assessed using structured face‐to‐face...
To compare the retreatment ability of several rotary and reciprocating file systems in curved root canals extracted teeth to evaluate influence additional apical enlargement performed after a basic on amount remaining filling material.A total 65 round were used. The prepared with ProTaper Next system size 25, .06 taper filled an epoxy resin-based sealer gutta-percha using continuous wave vertical compaction warm injection back-filling. randomly divided into four groups according used: Group...
The specific aim of this study was to determine the differences between 6 anthropometric (taken from surface) and cephalometric x-rays) measurements 12 proportion indices formed by obtained face 51 healthy Caucasoid young adult males females. z-score analysis revealed negligible in frequency normal values, surface 97.4% (298 306) versus 96.7% (296 ones. optimal dominated, 76.8% females 80.8%. mean values linear measurements, taken cephalogram were equal number similar significantly...
From the very start of their use until today, processes in Additive Manufacturing (AM) have found a way to grow from prototype production individual and small-series production. Improvements machinery, materials other challenges AM development improved product quality, its mechanical properties dimensional accuracy. Research field accuracy must be focused on achieving better tolerances. beginning AM, there has been big issue assuring repeatability reproducibility part being printed over...
This study sought to determine the relative reliability of indirect cephalometric measurements and direct anthropometric ones taken in norma frontalis 25 dry adult human skulls. Six 11 linear projective were singular located orbital, middle, lower parts face, with two from each part. Two five paired orbital region on both sides, other three middle face between midpoint facial axis landmarks lateral it. Both distances significantly shorter than distances. Mean numerical differences much...
The study's aim was to provide the normal range data on 81 anthropometric proportion indices of craniofacial complex, separately in boys and girls between 1 5 years age, supplementary previously published values North American white population from 6 18 age. In first age group, 17 or 22 were measured. each group 2 old, 30 31 examined. established with help 45 measurements (7 cranial, 13 facial, 4 orbital, 12 nasal, 7 labio-oral, auricular) taken 287 healthy children. reported two groups:...
To tabulate and assess quantitative differences between anthropometric corresponding radiographic cephalometric measurements obtained from the same persons, 19 projective linear were taken surface of heads faces 41 patients with cleft lip, palate, or both, all whom white North Americans aged 14 to 29 years. They underwent examination shortly afterward, obtained. Differences methods assessed by numeric mean values concurrent measurements. Statistical difference was paired f test, Pearson...
We identified factors associated with inpatient hospitalizations among a population-based cohort of homeless adults in Toronto, Ontario.
The objective of the study was to identify proportions closest normal and those indicating mild-to-moderate severe degrees disproportion. Eight proportion indices were analyzed in five craniofacial regions 125 Down's syndrome patients, based on a total 985 data points. More than two thirds patients fell within range, although more one quarter abnormal (disproportionate). All statistical summaries z-scores (adjusting for age sex differences), converted into descriptive anthropometric...
