Correlation between Cervical Vertebrae Volume Parameter and the Skeletal Maturation Status.

Aim: Assessing skeletal maturity is a critical factor in orthopedic treatment and orthognathic surgery. Quantitative methods have been suggested to decide the skeletal age. This study aims to assess the correlation between the middle phalanx of the third finger (MP3) method and cervical vertebral volume parameters (CVVP) in skeletal age determination.

[PASTIS study: Evaluation of an automated office blood pressure measurement].

Objective: The evaluation of automated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurement compared to 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), Home BP measurement and manual BP.

Patients And Methodology: A total of 123 hypertensive patients were included. Overall, 68 completed the 4 measurement: Manual BP in the office (Omron 705 CP 3 measurements), ABPM (Spacelab of 96 measurement/per 24hours), Home BP (18 measurement during 3 days), AOBP using the SPRINT methodology: lying patient, isolated with an automatic measurement (Dinamap) every minutes during 8minutes (average of the last 3 measurement).
