AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how lip closing force, occlusal contact area, and occlusal force are affected after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients.
- 54 patients with mandibular prognathism underwent surgery, and measurements of lip closing forces and occlusal forces were taken before and after the operation.
- Results showed that while lip closing force and occlusal forces improved over time after surgery, women did not see a significant increase in occlusal contact area; a correlation was found between the increase in lip closing force and occlusal contact area.
- Overall, the research indicates that orthognathic surgery positively impacts occlusal and lip closing forces, with specific relationships between these measurements.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between lip closing force, occlusal contact area and occlusal force after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients.
Subjects And Methods: The subjects consisted of 54 patients (28 female and 26 male) diagnosed with mandibular prognathism who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy with and without Le Fort I osteotomy. Maximum and minimum lip closing forces, occlusal contact area and occlusal force were measured pre-operatively, 6 months and 1 year post-operative.
Results: Maximum and minimum lip closing forces, occlusal contact area and occlusal force increased with time after surgery, however a significant increase was not found in the occlusal contact area in women. In increased ratio (6 months/pre-operative and 1 year/pre-operative), the maximum lip closing force was significantly correlated with the occlusal contact area (P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: This study suggested that orthognathic surgery could improve the occlusal force, contact area and lip closing force, and an increase ratio in maximum lip closing force was associated with an increased ratio in occlusal contact area.

Objective: To present a full scope of detailed and engaging laboratory activities recommended by physical therapist clinicians and educators from across the US to assist health professions faculty to develop new or improve current integumentary/wound management (IWM) instruction.
Methods: A three-round Delphi survey was conducted to update IWM curriculum recommendations for entry-level doctor of physical therapy education. First-round participants provided ideas for laboratory activities.
Background: In high-burden settings, most tuberculosis (TB) transmission likely occurs outside the home. Our qualitative study in Zambia explored the acceptability and preferences for designing TB active case finding (ACF) strategies to reach non-household contacts of people with TB.
Methods: We conducted 56 in-depth interviews with persons with TB ( = 12), TB healthcare workers (HCWs) ( = 10), TB lay HCWs ( = 10), and leaders/owners ( = 12) and attendees ( = 12) of community venue types identified as potential TB transmission locations.

Hydrogen gas holds immense promise as a clean fuel source, yet its widespread adoption faces significant challenges in storage and transportation due to its gaseous and highly flammable nature. An increasingly attractive approach to overcoming these limitations involves reacting aluminum (Al) blocks with water to produce hydrogen, providing an alternative distribution mechanism in which Al blocks can be used as "hydrogen storage" for on-demand production at any location. However, current methods suffer poor hydrogen production rates and yields, primarily influenced by the limited contact area between Al and the catalyst, such as Ga-based room-temperature liquid metal.

LiFeMnPO (0 < < 1) has a high operating voltage range and theoretical energy density, but its actual capacity decreased due to its low electronic conductivity. To overcome this problem, we successfully prepared LiFeMnPO/C (LFMP/C) with a uniform carbon coating by a one-step solvothermal method using bamboo shavings as the carbon source. The results showed that heating at a reaction temperature of 180 °C for 18 h was the optimal synthesis condition to obtain LFMP/C.
