In pediatrics, the patient-centered care works a little bit different, since it requires not only the physician-patient relation, but also the integration of the physician-family-patient relation.

In this contribution, we address quantum transport in long periodic arrays whose basic cells, localized potentials U(x), display certain particular features. We investigate under which conditions these "local" special characteristics can influence the tunneling behavior through the full structure. As the building blocks, we consider two types of U(x)s: combinations of either Pöschl-Teller, U0/cosh2[αx], potentials (for which the reflection and transmission coefficients are known analytically) or Gaussian-shaped potentials.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to examine the effects of botulinum toxin-A and occlusal appliances on craniocervical posture in adults experiencing myofascial pain related to bruxism.
  • A total of 60 patients participated, but statistical analysis showed no significant changes in head posture or kyphosis angle after treatment.
  • The findings suggest that treating bruxism pain may not improve craniofacial posture, indicating a need for alternative therapies to achieve better posture.
