Background: Alternaria blotch disease in Himachal Pradesh, India, caused by Alternaria spp., adversely affects apple cultivars, resulting in reduced fruit size and quality accompanied by premature leaf fall.
Methods And Results: Sixteen Alternaria isolates from apple growing regions underwent comprehensive analysis including morphology, pathogenicity, and molecular characterization.
Objective: To establish the Steiner's cephalometric norms for a Nepalese population, compare the gender and inter-racial variations in dentoskeletal and soft tissue structures, and to test the null hypothesis that there are no racial differences in cephalometric measurements between Nepalese, Caucasians and other populations.
Design: Prospective, cross-sectional study.
Subjects And Methods: One hundred and twenty lateral cephalograms of Nepalese subjects aged 16-21years with class I normal occlusion and balanced facial aesthetics were selected.
Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of malocclusions in eastern Nepal, estimate the treatment need, and compare the findings with those of other populations.
Methods: Seven hundred patients between 7 and 48 years of age were evaluated. Their orthodontic treatment need was assessed subjectively and via the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) (dental health component [DHC]).
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that there is no correlation in the interrelationships of skeletal and soft tissue points A and B with anterior teeth retraction.
Materials And Methods: Thirty adult Class I bimaxillary protrusion patients treated with preadjusted appliances after first premolar extraction were included. Pretreatment and posttreatment variables were compared using paired t-test, and the relationship of soft and hard tissue variables was studied using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression equation.
