Anticipatory and Compensatory Postural Adjustments in Sitting and Standing Positions During Functional Activities in Children With Cerebral Palsy.

Background And Purpose: Anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) and compensatory postural adjustments (CPA) have played a vital role in postural control since early childhood, which is critical to accomplishing activities in daily life. However, literature indicated dissimilarities and inconsistencies in APA and CPA analysis in sitting and standing positions in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Thus, this study analyzed the changes in postural control (APA and CPA) through the postural muscles [rectus abdominis (RA) and erector spinae (ES)] in both standing and sitting positions during functional activities (grasping a ball) in children with CP.

Open surgical repair of giant hepatic artery aneurysm.

Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are visceral artery aneurysms with a significant risk of mortality upon rupture. HAAs can be treated with open or endovascular repair. The choice of treatment modality depends on aneurysm anatomy, adequacy of visceral collaterals, and overall health status of the patient.

The Synergetic Impact of Anionic, Cationic, and Neutral Polymers on VES Rheology at High-Temperature Environment.

Hydraulic fracturing operations target enhancing the productivity of tight formations through viscous fluid injection to break down the formation and transport proppant. Crosslinked polymers are usually used for desired viscoelasticity of the fracturing fluid; however, viscoelastic surfactants (VES) became a possible replacement due to their less damaging impact. To design a fracturing fluid with exceptional rheological and thermal stability, we investigated mixing zwitterionic VES with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), or a poly diallyl dimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) polymers.

Regenerative endodontic treatment: A systematic review of successful clinical cases.

This systematic review was designed to evaluate and compare successful cases of regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) in terms of etiology, diagnosis, treatment protocols, and signs of success. An electronic search was performed in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The search was completed by 2 independent reviewers following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
