The head is positioned erect for an approximation; yet most facial soft tissue depths (FSTD) used are measured from supine subjects. Depth difference might be significant, but there is a paucity of data to verify. This study compared erect and supine values for 17 landmarks from 30 healthy New Zealand (European population affinity) women (18-30 or 40-55 years) in erect then supine positions. Height, weight, and sonographic FSTD data, totaling 1020 measurements, were obtained. Three midline and seven averaged bilateral values were compared using ANOVA, p values, and Pearson's correlations. Correlative strength of age and body mass index, BMI (kg/m(2) ), was determined by values. Results showed averaged erect and supine differences were significant for four of ten FSTDs. Between individuals, difference was various and not unidirectional. In conclusion, depth differences were observed but not all significant or unidirectional, BMI significantly influenced nine FSTD values, but age group did not.

Purpose: this study focused on the mixed-type deformities of acetabular retroversion (AR) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) deformity and aimed to ascertain the changes in pelvic tilt from a supine to a standing position in these cases and identify potential underlying mechanisms.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on cases with symptomatic DDH from January 1, 2019, to April 30, 2023. DDH was defined as lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) <20°.
Diagnostic impact of using the semi-erect position in the evaluation of inguinal hernia with superficial sonography.

<b>Introduction:</b> The main cause of groin pain is inguinal hernia (IH). The most commonly used imaging test for diagnosis is sonography, which is also useful in distinguishing between indirect and direct hernias.<b>Aim:</b> In this study, measurements were made with sonography in the semi-erect position (45) in addition to the supine position and the effectiveness of this position in detecting the defect was investigated.

Respir Care
August 2024
Department of Biostatistics, Faculty of Medicine, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Türkiye.
Background: When the work load of the respiratory muscles increases and/or their capacity decreases in individuals with COPD, respiratory muscle activation increases to maintain gas exchange and respiratory mechanics, and perception of dyspnea occurs. The present study aimed to compare diaphragm and accessory respiratory muscle activation during normal breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and breathing control in different dyspnea relief positions, supine and side lying.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used.

The use of smokeless tobacco products (STP) as a substitute for tobacco smoking is driving increasing consumption of these products especially in developing countries. The study sought to make comparison of cardiovascular risk profile between chronic STP users and suitably matched tobacco-naïve controls. This is a preliminary report from the cross sectional part of a two-arm prospective study of Smokeless Tobacco Products Composition and Exposure Outcome in Enugu metropolis, Nigeria.

Background: Column interruption duration (CID) is a noninvasive surrogate for venous refill time (VFT), a parameter used in ambulatory venous pressure measurement. CID is more accurate than invasive VFT measurement because it avoids errors involved with indirect access of the deep system through the dorsal foot vein. The aim of this retrospective single center study is to analyze the clinical usefulness of CID in assessment of chronic venous disease (CVD).
