Geometric morphometric evaluation of cervical vertebrae shape and its relationship to skeletal maturation.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Cervical vertebrae shape has been proposed as a diagnostic factor for assessing skeletal maturation in orthodontic patients. However, evaluation of vertebral shape is mainly based on qualitative criteria. Comprehensive quantitative ... Read more...

Cervical vertebrae maturation method: poor reproducibility.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: The cervical vertebrae maturation (CVM) method has been advocated as a predictor of peak mandibular growth. This method relies on the clinician's ability to determine the stage of maturation of the vertebrae. Careful examination of ... Read more...

Antenatal and postnatal iron supplementation and childhood mortality in rural Nepal: a prospective follow-up in a randomized, controlled community trial.

22 Sep 2009 The long-term benefits of antenatal iron supplementation in child survival are not known. In 1999-2001, 4,926 pregnant women in rural Nepal participated in a cluster-randomized, double-masked, controlled trial involving 4 alternative combinations of ... Read more...
