Introduction: In contemporary clinical settings, three-dimensional (3D) models have become an integral component of daily practice. Photogrammetry, a novel method in clinical practice, enables the creation of precise 3D models from small objects while maintaining their original shape and size.

Aim:  To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of digital models (DM) generated using photogrammetry techniques compared to traditional gypsum models (GM) and to investigate the feasibility of utilizing free software for processing and manipulating digital dental models.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the biomechanical impacts on bone and the periodontal ligament during the intrusion of incisors using mini-implants, as well as to determine the most effective method for treating deep bite issues.
  • A 3D finite element analysis was conducted comparing two models of mini-implant placement—one behind the lateral incisors and the other beneath the anterior nasal spine—to assess stress distribution and tooth displacement.
  • Results showed that the model with mini-implants placed distal to the lateral incisors exhibited the best stress management and controlled tooth movement, making it the preferred method for effective anterior intrusion treatment.

This review explores standardized clinical assessments for evaluating autonomic nervous system function. Here, we emphasize components of the autonomic medical history as the first pivotal test of the autonomic assessment. We further focus on standard noninvasive cardiovascular autonomic tests including heart rate responses to deep breathing, Valsalva maneuvers, and orthostatic challenges, along with insights from neurochemical tests and quantitative sudomotor axon reflex testing.

Sports performance is relatively robust under high levels of binocular blur. However, the limited research studies investigating monocular impairments has shown it has a larger impact on sport performance. This research study is relevant for classification in sports for athletes with vision impairment (VI), where visual acuity (VA) from the better eye is used during classification.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine patient perceptions of an advanced practice radiation therapist (APRT) prescribing medication for radiation therapy treatment-related side effects. By comprehending patient perceptions, it is important to implement change in order to improve patients' quality of life.

Methods: A literature review was conducted on advanced practice (AP) roles in Canada and world-wide; the roles searched were: APRT, nurse practitioner and pharmacist.
