Objective: The aims of this study were to evaluate soft-tissue measurements for a Palestinian sample population with normal occlusion by Holdaway's analysis, and to check the applicability of Holdaway values to the Palestinian population. Normal Holdaway values for Palestinians will be established if their parameters do not match those of Holdaway.
Material And Methods: Cephalometric radiographs of 93 Palestinian university students with normal occlusion (63 women, mean age: 20.1 ± 2.1 years; 30 men, mean age: 20.2 ± 2.4 years) were traced and evaluated. Cephalometric landmarks were located according to Holdaway analysis. Ten linear and two angular measurements were produced on each radiograph.
Results: The soft-tissue measurements for the Palestinians were similar to the Holdaway norms, except for the soft-tissue convexity angle and soft-tissue chin thickness, which were larger than the Holdaway averages. The Palestinian sample had a narrower range for normal nose prominence, as well as thicker lips, deeper superior and inferior sulci, and thicker soft-tissue chins than the Holdaway values.
Conclusions: We determined normal values for the Holdaway soft-tissue analysis for Palestinians, which are appropriate for use in orthodontic practices in these territories.

Cost-minimizing thresholds and recurrence rates in surgical evacuation with adjunctive middle meningeal artery embolization versus evacuation alone.

Objective: Cost-minimization approaches for the treatment of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) are important given the increasing incidence of this pathology, particularly among elderly patients receiving antiplatelet and anticoagulation medications. The use of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) as an adjunct to surgical evacuation has shown promise in reducing surgical recurrence; however, additional costs are involved with this procedure. Using their institutional experience, the authors identified thresholds for cost and the cSDH surgical recurrence rate that could influence treatment decisions in patients requiring surgical evacuation for cSDH.

Objective: Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of interventions to reduce organizational skills deficits and homework problems, including the clinic-based Organizational Skills Training (OST-C) program (Abikoff et al., 2013). In this study, OST-C was adapted for schools as a small-group (Tier 2) intervention delivered by school partners (OST-T2).

Background: Integrating behavioral health services into pediatric primary care can improve access to care, especially for children marginalized by poverty and racial/ethnic minority status. In primary care, a common presenting concern is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Services in primary care for marginalized children with ADHD typically include medication alone; therapy to improve skills and build relationships is less available.

Frontosphenoidal craniosynostosis (FSC) is a rare premature fusion of the frontosphenoidal suture that results in anterior plagiocephaly. When associated with severe cranial deformity, surgical treatment is beneficial. All previously reported cases of FSC correction have utilized fronto-orbital remodeling and advancement to achieve improved anatomy and increased intracranial volume.

Background: Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are linear combinations of genetic markers weighted by effect size that are commonly used to predict disease risk. For complex heritable diseases such as late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), PRS models fail to capture much of the heritability. Additionally, PRS models are highly dependent on the population structure of the data on which effect sizes are assessed and have poor generalizability to new data.
