Management of Mesiodens and ectopically Erupted Central Incisor
No full textABSTRACT
Pediatric dentists come across children and developing malocclusion at the earliest, early recognition and interception could avoid long-term laborious orthodontic treatment. Mesiodens are the most common supernumerary teeth, in the central region of the premaxilla, between the two central incisors, which may be the cause for a variety of irregularities in the developing occlusion, in particular, can lead to the impaction or ectopic eruption of adjacent permanent teeth, in the most esthetically important zone. Presented here is a case of management of ectopically erupted right permanent central incisor caused due to supernumerary tooth.

Traumatic thoracic spondyloptosis without neurologic deficit, and treatment with in situ fusion
No full textThoracic spinal fracture-disassociation (traumatic spondyloptosis) is a rare injury caused by high-energy forces. This injury most often leaves the patient with a severe neurologic deficit. In this article, we report the case of a patient who presented with a complete traumatic thoracic spondyloptosis but no neurologic deficits. He was treated surgically, with posterior instrumented spinal fusion in situ. Given the patient’s spinal canal preservation and overall spinal alignment, reduction was not attempted. The postoperative course was complicated only by a wound infection, at 14 months, when already there was clinical and radiographic evidence of solid fusion. The infection was treated successfully with irrigation and débridement, implant removal, and intravenous (IV) antibiotics. At most recent (30-month) follow-up, the patient was neurologically intact and independently ambulating. Informed consent for publication of this case report and the radiographic images was obtained from the patient
Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis
No full textMultiple sclerosis is a common disease of the central nervous system in which the interplay between inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes typically results in intermittent neurological disturbance followed by progressive accumulation of disability. Epidemiological studies have shown that genetic factors are primarily responsible for the substantially increased frequency of the disease seen in the relatives of affected individuals, and systematic attempts to identify linkage in multiplex families have confirmed that variation within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) exerts the greatest individual effect on risk. Modestly powered genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have enabled more than 20 additional risk loci to be identified and have shown that multiple variants exerting modest individual effects have a key role in disease susceptibility. Most of the genetic architecture underlying susceptibility to the disease remains to be defined and is anticipated to require the analysis of sample sizes that are beyond the numbers currently available to individual research groups. In a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, we have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci. Within the MHC we have refined the identity of the HLA-DRB1 risk alleles and confirmed that variation in the HLA-A gene underlies the independent protective effect attributable to the class I region. Immunologically relevant genes are significantly overrepresented among those mapping close to the identified loci and particularly implicate T-helper-cell differentiation in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis
Complementary resistive switch-based arithmetic logic implementations using material implication
No full textMemristors are considered among the most promising future building blocks of next-generation digital systems. This paper focuses on specific ways to implement logic and arithmetic unit using memristors. In particular, we present a set of complementary resistive switching (CRS)-based stateful logic operations that use material implication to provide the basic logic functionalities needed to realize logic circuits. The proposed solution benefits from the exponential reduction in sneak path current in crossbar implemented logic. This paper also presents a closed-form expression for sneak current and analyzes the impact of device variation on the behavior of the proposed logic blocks. Our technique, as other similar techniques proposed in the literature, requires several sequential steps to perform the computation. However, in this paper, we show that only three steps are required for implementing N input nand gate, whereas previously proposed memristor-based stateful logic needs N + 1 steps. We validated the effectiveness of our solution through cadence spectre circuit simulator on a number of logic circuits. Finally, we extended this approach for arithmetic circuits with an 8-bit adder and a 4-bit multiplier

No full textBackgroundPhysical inactivity significantly impacts mortality worldwide. Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. African American women in the U.S. have the highest rates of physical inactivity when compared to other gender/ethnic groups.1 A paucity of research promoting physical activity (PA) in African American women has been previously identified. The purpose of this review was to identify intervention strategies and outcomes in studies designed to promote PA in African American women.MethodsInterventions that promoted PA in African American women published between 2000 and May 2015 were included. A comprehensive search of the literature was performed in Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, PsycINFO, CINAHL Complete, and MEDLINE Complete databases. Data were abstracted and synthesized to examine interventions, study designs, theoretical frameworks, and measures of PA.ResultsMixed findings (both significant and nonsignificant) were identified. Interventions included faith-based, group-based, and individually focused programs. All studies (n = 32) included measures of PA; among the studies, self-report was the predominant method for obtaining information. Half of the 32 studies focused on PA, and the remaining studies focused on PA and nutrition. Most studies reported an increase in PA or adherence to PA. This review reveals promising strategies for promoting PA.ConclusionsFuture studies should include long-term follow-up, larger sample sizes, and objective measures of PA. Additional research promoting PA in African American women is warranted, particularly in studies that focus on increasing PA in older African American women.R15 NR009486/NR/NINR NIH HHSUnited States/K01 NR013195/NR/NINR NIH HHSUnited States/U50 DP422184/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHSUnited States/R34 DK097724/DK/NIDDK NIH HHSUnited States/U58 DP001015/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHSUnited States
