Effect of adipose tissue on the sexual dimorphism in metabolic flexibility.

30 Oct 2009 Metabolic flexibility is the ability to transition between fat oxidation (fasting state) and glucose oxidation (fed state). We hypothesized that adipose tissue inflammation and lipid metabolism contribute to sexual dimorphism in metabolic ... Read more...

Degrees of tolerance in post-traumatic orbital volume correction: the role of prefabricated mesh.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To identify factors influencing the volumetric correction of orbital fractures, and evaluate the use of prefabricated titanium mesh in their repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included patients with unilateral orbital fractures and floor or ... Read more...

Effect of a syndromic diagnosis on mandibular size and sagittal position in Robin sequence.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Despite its pathogenic heterogeneity, it is often assumed that the small mandible in a neonate with Robin sequence will not grow normally. The purpose of this study was to determine mandibular length and position in patients with ... Read more...
