Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) is a set of structural and functional disorders of different etiology that affects temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and orofacial muscles.The most common etiologic factors are psychogenic, occlusal, trauma and congenital anomalies of craniofacial structures.About 75% of the examined population have mild symptoms of C
Neutron balance approach for inline critical rod position search calculation in Monte Carlo reactor analysis
The critical rod position search has been one of the issues in the Monte Carlo (MC) reactor analysis.This paper proposes a practical and simple approach for the critical rod position search based on the neutron balance equation and the monotonic relation between the control rod absorption rate and the total rod insertion length.The proposed method
Landscape of Consensus-Based Entity-Endorsed Perioperative Quality Measures
Objective:.Healthcare quality measures have a central role in monitoring and incentivizing the quality of surgical care.Payors and other stakeholders rely on consensus-based entities (CBEs) for the rigorous, independent evaluation and endorsement of quality measures.The aim of this study is to catalog current CBE-endorsed, surgery-related quality m
Carotid artery velocity time integral and corrected flow time measured by a wearable Doppler ultrasound detect stroke volume rise from simulated hemorrhage to transfusion
Abstract Objective Doppler ultrasonography of the common carotid artery is used Gotu Kola to infer stroke volume change and a wearable Doppler ultrasound has been designed to improve this workflow.Previously, in a human model of hemorrhage and resuscitation comprising approximately 50,000 cardiac cycles, we found a strong, linear correlation betwee
Alien plant species on roadsides of the northwestern Patagonian steppe (Argentina).
The introduction of alien species represents one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide.Highway construction increases the dispersal and invasion of exotic plant species.This study examined the assembly process of the plant communities to determine whether the roadsides of the Patagonian steppe represent a reservoir and dispersal Necklac
