A novel digital nasoalveolar molding approach for cleft lip and palate
Presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is a widely accepted approach applied before cheiloplasty for infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), which can effectively reduce the width of the cleft gap, to align and approximate the intraoral
Effectiveness of infrared tympanic thermometry during physical activity in the heat at a solar radiation of 500 W/m2 or less
Exposure to high solar radiation in the heat poses a thermoregulatory challenge and increased risks of exertional heat-related illness in workers and exercising individuals. Core temperature monitoring is important during physical activity in the heat to prevent
Arthroereisis for symptomatic flexible flatfoot deformity in young children
Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity in the pediatric population. The foot due to ligamentous laxity is unable to support the body weight at its three contact areas to the ground (The plantar aspect of the calcaneus,
Synergies between ultrasound and aminated nanoparticles in the synthesis of DHP pharmaceuticals
Today, attentions to the synergistic effects have raised due to bringing convenience and expedition into the complex processes. In the field of catalysis, synergistic effects between the ultrasound waves (USWs) and the nanosized heterogeneous species is one
Small waterbodies as indicators of elemental pollution in urban sediments
The impact of urbanization and industrialization on sediment quality of large rivers and lakes have been widely studied globally, however, small waterbodies, such as ponds and canals, are rarely studied collectively. Ponds and canals that form a
How to Live With Sickle Cell Disease
Although a diagnosis of sickle cell anemia might be devastating, patients can still live an entirely normal life with the proper care. Patients can live comfortably through treatment and lifestyle changes. Although sickle cell, like other monogenic
Fast and simple glyphosate detection using a functionalized surface
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide worldwide. It is used since the 1970s to dispose of weeds to increase yield. Since some years its use is under great debate because of its potentially cancerogenic effect and
Fast artificial intelligence for detecting the invisible
Artificial Intelligence (AI) relies on synthetic neural networks, inspired by functional properties of living intelligent systems (brains) and learns autonomously on the basis of unsupervised learning procedures. Such learning permits, among other things, the analysis of changes
Social-economic factors predict state differences in opioid overdose rates
Media accounts of the opioid overdose epidemic emphasize the role of prescription drugs and, to a lesser extent, declining economic and social conditions. In support of the journalists’ accounts, opioid prescriptions, as measured in grams of morphine
