A pilot study on the "ScoliBrace" in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Purpose: Bracing for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a treatment option to prevent curve progression to surgical level. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a 3D fully customized over corrective brace, "ScoliBrace," an orthosis treatment for AIS.

Methods: This was a prospective pilot study of AIS female patients with inclusion criteria followed recommended Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Guidelines.

Geochemical characterisation and geostatistical evaluation of groundwater suitability: a case study in Perambalur District, Tamil Nadu, India.

Groundwater is a naturally occurring potential source for drinking, irrigation, agricultural and industrial purposes. The population growth and accelerated development of industries and agriculture activity degrade groundwater quality. The groundwater quality of an area was determined by the physical and chemical parameters, influenced by geology, soil, land use, land cover and anthropogenic activities.

Ingrowing toenails in children and adolescents: is nail avulsion superior to nonoperative treatment?

Introduction: Ingrowing toenail (IGTN) or onychocryptosis is not uncommon in children and adolescents. However, there is a dearth of evidence in the literature on the management of IGTN in this age group. This study aimed to compare the results of nonoperative treatment for IGTN with that of operative treatment among children and adolescents.

Molecular docking based screening of G6PS with 1, 5 Benzothiazepine derivates for a potential inhibitor.

Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (G6PS) (EC 2.6.1.

The Effect of Flapless and Full-thickness Flap Techniques on Implant Stability During the Healing Period.

When soft tissue flaps are reflected for implant placement, the blood supply from the periosteum to the bone is disrupted. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the flapless (FL) and full-thickness flap (FT) techniques on implant stability. Methods : Nine patients received 22 implants.

The correlation between crestal bone resorption and implant stability during healing period using resonance frequency analysis.

Purpose: To detect the correlation between crestal bone resorption and implant stability during healing period using resonance frequency analysis (RFA).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-two International Team for Implantology Straumann implants were placed in the posterior maxilla or mandible in 9 patients. RFA reading was taken immediately after implant placement.
