Article Synopsis
  • ARA and USAISR are working together to create a tablet-based simulation for assessing burn wounds and managing burn shock, aimed at enhancing existing burn care education methods.
  • Experts validated the system's ability to accurately identify burn areas and confirmed that the simulation closely reflects real-life burn injuries, with less error compared to random patient samples.
  • The project has produced a detailed physiological model for burn assessment, which will be made freely available to the medical community to improve training through realistic scenarios and quick feedback on patient care practices.

Nitrogen (N) management strategies that maintain high crop productivity with reduced water quality impacts are needed for tile-drained landscapes of the US Midwest. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of N application rate, timing, and fall nitrapyrin addition on tile drainage nitrate losses, corn ( L.) yield, N recovery efficiency, and postharvest soil nitrate content over 3 yr in a corn-soybean [ (L.

Objectives: To determine the effect of gender and Frankfort mandibular plane angle (FMPA) on extraction space closure.

Setting And Sample Population: A single district general hospital. The sample population were 11- to 18-year-olds undergoing upper and lower fixed appliance therapy following the loss of a premolar in each quadrant.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the time to initial alignment and extraction space closure using conventional brackets and active and passive self-ligating brackets.

Methods: One hundred adolescent patients 11 to 18 years of age undergoing maxillary and mandibular fixed appliance therapy after the extraction of 4 premolars were randomized with stratification of 2 age ranges (11-14 and 15-18 years) and 3 maxillomandibular plane angles (high, medium, and low) with an allocation ratio of 1:2:2. Restrictions were applied using a block size of 10.
