Dentoalveolar bone height in Class I adults with different vertical patterns: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Facial divergence during growth and development affects both the anterior and posterior alveolar bone dimensions in the maxilla and mandible, and the dentoalveolar compensation mechanism in severe vertical skeletal discrepancies remains unclear.

Aims: To evaluate the: (1) difference in dentoalveolar heights among subjects with different vertical facial patterns; (2) association between the dentoalveolar bone height and other cephalometric variables; (3) effect of sex on dentoalveolar height measurements.

Material And Methods: Non-growing subjects with skeletal Class I (0° View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Mechanism of MnO nanorods toxicity in marine microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana during long-term exposure.

Due to the increasing production and use of nanomaterials (NMs), their potential toxic impacts on the environment should be considered for a safe application of NMs. In this regard, the potential hazards of MnO nanorods (NRs) on the green microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana during long-term exposure were investigated. Exposure to the high concentration of MnO NRs (100 and 200 mg L) significantly reduced the cell number of C.

Cumulative Live-Birth Rates by Maternal Age after One or Multiple In Vitro Fertilization Cycles: An Institutional Experience.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) following one or more completed fertilization (IVF) cycles (up to 6 cycles) stratified by maternal age and type of infertility.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, five hundred forty-seven women who received 736 fresh ovarian stimulation/embryo transfer cycles between January 2016 and December 2016 were included in the study at a tertiary care center located in Lebanon.

Results: In all women, the live birth rate for the first cycle was 33.
