ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate aligner treatment protocols among orthodontists in the United States and Canada assess factors influencing clinician choices systems, protocols, targeted malocclusions for aligners. Materials Methods A validated online questionnaire was developed specifically this research consisted of three sections. Section 1 evaluated demographics experience with 2 assessed patient selection demands confidence treating various 3 used by clinicians. The American...
Background and Aims. Tropical plants are assumed to be especially vulnerable global warming because their physiologies adapted relatively constant temperatures throughout the year. Furthermore, it has been found that woody in colder high elevation environments less tolerant than warmer lowlands. Here, we examined heat tolerance a group of herbaceous with wide elevational distribution tropics. Methods. This study focused on 61 species from order Zingiberales (ginger banana-like plants)...
To evaluate the correspondence between interproximal reduction (IPR) performed clinically and that programmed in ClinCheck® further assess which teeth showed an amount of implemented IPR (I-IPR) corresponds with ClinCheck®.Pre- (T0) post-treatment (T1) digital models for 75 subjects (30 males 45 females), mean age (38 ± 15) years, were included. calculate I-IPR, Ortho Analyzer software (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) was used to measure mesiodistal widths maxillary mandibular from second...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate orthodontists’ utilization and perceptions of tele-orthodontics. Materials methods A 30-item online survey was distributed members the American Association Orthodontists (AAO). The questionnaire encompassed topics concerning utilization, perceptions, clinical applications, limitations, concerns regarding Descriptive statistics were employed, comparisons between responses from users non-users conducted using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests Fisher’s...
Mentorship can have a profound impact on the success and happiness of mentee while also providing sense fulfillment enrichment for mentor. Both officially designated spontaneously chosen mentors be useful protégés as they navigate through their training professional work environment striving to obtain optimal work-life balance. Different genders variable experiences, in both personal lives managing family obligations dermatologists, which may affect advice guidance offered.We studied gender...
Abstract Background COVID-19 has impacted the care of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. We aimed to provide an overall view patients’ perspectives, concerns, and expectations towards their treatment throughout clinic lockdown during pandemic; assess levels mental distress its association with confidence in resuming care. Methods An anonymous, validated, in-person paper questionnaire was distributed adult post-lockdown at academic institution. The survey focused on clinical aspects...
The federal Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) improves nutrition reduces food insecurity among young children by helping cover the costs for child care providers families. This nationwide study evaluated extent predictors of CACFP's utilization licensed centers to identify opportunities expanding CACFP support.
This study compared the achieved tooth movement to that predicted in preliminary simulated digital treatment plan between adults and teenagers.
Abstract Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) increases with aging. Ensuing symptoms including incontinence greatly impact quality of life, isolation, depression, and nursing home admission. The aging bladder is hypothesized to be central this decline, however, it remains difficult pinpoint a singular strong driver aging‐related dysfunction. Many molecular cellular changes occur aging, contributing decreased resilience internal external stressors, affecting control exacerbating LUTD. In...
Cardiac dysfunction is often seen following neurological injury. Data regarding cardiac involvement after ischemic stroke sparse. We investigated the association of electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic variables with outcomes an acute stroke.
More realistic models can be built taking into account spatial dependence when analyzing areal data. Most of the for data employ adjacency matrices to assess structure Such methodologies impose some limitations. Remarkably, polygons different shapes and sizes are not treated differently, it becomes difficult, if impractical, compute predictions based on these models. Moreover, misalignment (when information is available at levels) harder handled. These limitations circumvented by formulating...
Objective: We investigated the relationship between trimester-specific SARS-CoV-2 infection and newborn growth metrics. hypothesize that COVID-19 may result in disproportion neonatal head measurements weight without increasing risk of SGA, this be associated with timing exposure pregnancy. Design: Retrospective cohort Setting: Northeast USA academic tertiary hospital Population sample: COVID-19-infected (n=140) COVID-19-uninfected (n=136) patients Methods: Inclusion criteria: a) singleton...
Objective: To investigate the accuracy of full arch scans taken using iTero Element 2 ® under clinical settings. Design: Prospective study. Methods: A customised upper removable appliance (URA) with four spheres (A–D) was fabricated from a maxillary scan for 24-year-old patient. Six linear values were measured on URA high-accuracy coordinate measuring machine. total 60 intra-oral by two operators (HA and AS) test inserted to participant’s dentition at T1 T2. Geomagic Control X software used...
