Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence of tongue anomalies in a group of Egyptian children and to relate the presence of malocclusion in cases of macroglossia, tongue tie and microglossia.
The aim of this retrospective study is to analyze the third molar agenesis with respect to sella turcica bridging and other craniofacial patterns in patients asking for orthodontic consultation. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - is there a relationship between third molar agenesis and sella turchina bridging? - is there a relationship between third molar agenesis and craniofacial patterns?
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether use of a pannus retractor adhesive improves fetal anatomic ultrasound examinations. The primary question it aims to answer is: • Does the use of a pannus retractor adhesive increase the rate of detailed anatomic survey completion, defined by satisfactory visualization of sixteen prespecified fetal anatomy views, for participants with a pannus and body mass index of at least 40 kg/m2?
: patients were recruited for auricular prosthetic reconstruction. Preoperative data was collected including personal and medical history, plain photographs and CT scans. Pre-operative prosthetic and implant planning were carried out. Three endosseous implants were placed in a two-stage surgical technique. Patients were assigned into two groups with allocation ratio 1:1. In control group, Implant level impression was recorded, and a stone model of the defect was cast. waxing up of the ear was done on the stone cast followed by flasking, wax elimination, packing of heat cured acrylic resin and curing. In intervention group, CT scanning was done to the full head and optical scanning was done to the defect site with scan bodies screwed to the implants. Using Exocad software a model of the defect site with implant analogues and ear model with abutment extensions were planned and printed using SLA printing technology. A placement jig was done for ear models of both groups and adaptation was measured on the patient using silicon replica technique. The silicone replica was sectioned and the gap, represented in light consistency polyvinyl siloxane impression material was measured using digital microscope.
This study investigated the acute effects of cracker consumption made by different flours on glycemic responses.
This study investigated the effects of five types of pasta on the glycemic responses
Midfoot and backfoot deformities are well described in children with Cerebral palsy. However, data regarding forefoot deformities in Cerebral palsy remain scarce in a population were foot deformities are the most frequent musculo-skeletal deformities.
It is estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss, be these early miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, or later intrauterine losses for any reason. Genomics is a major part of pregnancy loss, and clinicians want to offer the best and most appropriate test available to women and their families, whilst ensuring that there is equity in the access to this testing, so that no family goes through a loss without the right support and information. Whilst there is limited information to inform professionals as to how to incorporate genomics into bereavement care there is a need to identify current expert consensus as to how this should be performed, in order to make recommendations for best practice.
The posterior sagittal approach to anorectal malformation (ARM) has radically changed the outcome of these patients, improving the preservation of anal sphincters, owing to their anatomical identification. However, in long term follow-up, fecal incontinence and severe constipation remain the most frequent and disabling postoperative clinical problems, having a significant influence on quality of life. Current therapeutic measures for Fecal Incontinence include biofeedback, sacral nerve stimulation, radiofrequency energy delivery, surgical treatment and sphincter replacement. Biofeedback combined with SNS has achieved satisfactory results. However, not all patients have an improvement in their weakened anal sphincter and achieve acceptable continence. A detailed assessment of anorectal sphincter morphology and function can predict therapeutic outcome. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) can help to judge the anal atresia type, to display the presence and running of the fistula, and to show the nature of anal sphincter, such as the shape, thickness, directions and position of the anal sphincter complex and location in the pelvic floor and other systems malformations, finally to provide a reliable diagnostic basis for surgical program and prognostic assessment. High-resolution anorectal manometry (HR-ARM) is the latest internationally recognized examination for the evaluation of anorectal function. A standardised protocol of HR-ARM can characterise FI from dyssynergic or other neuromuscular and sensory problems. As a result, HR-ARM provides a more appropriate management in patients with FI. In order to assess whether patients with fecal incontinence should choose biofeedback therapy, our study included children with FI after anorectal malformation, and combined HR-ARM and MR to predict the efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation and pelvic floor rehabilitation.
The DEEP cohort is the first population-based cohort of pregnant population in China that longitudinally documents drug uses throughout the pregnancy life course and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
