Background: Psycho-esthetic aspects play an important role in motivating patients to undergo combined orthodontic-surgical treatment as well as in the subjective appraisal of treatment outcome. The facial soft tissues are the crucial interlink between the underlying skeletal and dental structures and their perception by the patient and his social environment. TREATMENT OF SHORT FACE SYNDROME: In the therapy of Class II malocclusions with skeletal deep bite and short lower face (short face syndrome), the soft tissues and the psycho-esthetic treatment expectations of the patient are taken systematically and appropriately into account during treatment planning and evaluation.
Patients And Method: The respective elements of the treatment concept are outlined and explained in this article. Based on the empirical evaluation of 15 patients treated according to this concept, the soft tissue changes in patients with short face syndrome and the changes in esthetic and psychosocial self-perception are reported.
Results: The results demonstrate the efficiency of the treatment concept in improving facial soft tissues, especially in the vertical dimension, and the resulting psycho-esthetic benefit to the patient.

The evolving threat of new pathogen variants in the face of global environmental changes poses a risk to a sustainable crop production. Predicting and responding to how climate change affects plant-pathosystems is challenging, as environment affects host-pathogen interactions from molecular to the community level, and with eco-evolutionary feedbacks at play. To address this knowledge gap, we studied short-term within-host eco-evolutionary changes in the pathogen, , on resistant and susceptible pepper in the open-top chambers (OTCs) under elevated Ozone (O) conditions in a single growing season.

The development of viscous-crude oil and water separation technology is important for overcoming pollution caused by oil spills. Although some separators responding to light, electric, and temperature have been proposed, their poor structural homogeneity and inferior controllability, together with weak capillary forces, hinder the rapid salvage of viscous crude oil. Herein, a Joule-heated hydrophobic porous oil/water separator is reported, which has advantages of low energy consumption (169.

Clinicians may face an array of challenges in conducting fetal neurological consultations including prognostic uncertainty, a lack of training in fetal counseling, and limited opportunity to build rapport with families. In this setting, it is critical to employ high-quality, family-centered care to allow expectant parents to make informed decisions. Despite the challenges and gravity of these consultations, there remains limited data outlining best conduct and communication practices.

End-user feedback early in product development is important for optimizing multipurpose prevention technologies for HIV and pregnancy prevention. We evaluated the acceptability of the 90-day dapivirine levonorgestrel ring (DPV-LNG ring) used for 14 days compared to a dapivirine-only ring (DVR-200mg) in MTN-030/IPM 041 (n = 23), and when used for 90 days cyclically or continuously in MTN-044/IPM 053/CCN019 (n = 25). We enrolled healthy, non-pregnant, HIV-negative women aged 18-45 in Pittsburgh, PA and Birmingham, AL (MTN-030 only).
