Comparison between Measured and Predicted Resting Metabolic Rate Equations in Cross-Training Practitioners.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to investigate the resting metabolic rate (RMR) in cross-training practitioners (advanced and novice) using indirect calorimetry (IC) and compare it with predictive equations proposed in the scientific literature.

Methods: A cross-sectional and comparative study analyzed 65 volunteers, both sexes, practicing cross-training (CT). Anthropometry and body composition were assessed, and RMR was measured by IC (FitMate PRO), bioimpedance (BIA-InBody 570), and six predictive equations.

Bifurcation of the mandibular canal according to sex, age, and facial skeletal pattern: a morphological and morphometric study of cone beam computed tomography.

Purpose: To assess the presence of mandibular canal bifurcation (BMC) and classify these variations by correlating findings with sex, age and facial skeletal pattern, measurements were made, including height, width, and distance from bifurcation to anatomical cortical bones.

Methods: BMC was identified in cone beam CT exams of 301 patients and classified according to its origin, location, direction, configuration and ending. The height and width of the MC before and after the bifurcation; height and width of the BMC; and distance from BMC to alveolar (C1), buccal (C2), lingual (C3) and basal (C4) bone cortices were measured.

Correlation between the presence of the median perforating canal in adults with sex, age and skeletal facial patterns: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence of the median perforating canal (MPC) and its morphometric measurements in Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans of adult patients, correlating the findings with sex, age and skeletal facial patterns.

Material And Methods: 717 CBCT scans were selected from a Brazilian population and the presence of the MPC was recorded. MPC diameter was measured in three points: lingual, medial and buccal.

Evaluation of ortogonblender software bone movement tools in bimaxillary orthognatic surgeries performed in dolphin software.

The aim of this observational, longitudinal and retrospective study was to evaluate the fidelity of virtual surgical planning (VSP) performed on Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions® 11.95 software on hard tissues, using the tools of the open-source software OrtogOnBlender - Blender3D. For this, linear, angular and 7-point anatomical measurements of the skeletal profile were used, and the discrepancies between the VSP and the result after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery were calculated.
