Objective: To report the surgical outcomes of a modified trabeculectomy technique involving implanting the Tenon's layer under the scleral flap.

Design: Prospective, interventional case series.

Participants: 51 eyes with medically uncontrolled glaucoma were enrolled for this study.

Influence of Orthodontic Treatment on Changes in the Maxillary Sinus Dimensions.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation of craniofacial morphology with maxillary sinus morphology and to evaluate whether orthodontic treatment facilitates maxillary sinus enlargement in adults. Materials and methods A total of 45 adult women underwent cephalography and computed tomography before and after orthodontic treatment. All participants were classified into three groups: skeletal class I, II, and III.

Orthodontic Treatment Does Not Affect Frontal Sinus Development in Female Adults: A Clinical Study.

Frontal sinus growth is gradual and lasts until post-puberty. However, the influence of biomechanical stimuli, such as orthodontic treatment, on frontal sinus development after the growth period has ended remains unclear. This study was designed to elucidate the impact of orthodontic treatment on the frontal sinus morphology of adult females.

Oxygen cost of thoracic and diaphragmatic breathing during hyperventilation in healthy males.

[Purpose] It is unclear whether diaphragmatic breathing (DB) results in lower respiratory muscle oxygen consumption during dynamic exercise. The purpose of this study was to compare oxygen consumption in the respiratory muscles (VOrm) with thoracic breathing (TB) and with DB, in healthy males during hyperventilation. [Subjects and Methods] Ten healthy men participated in this study.
