The correlation between lower limb spasticity and proprioceptive dysfunction in post-stroke patients by Shiai Gao, Zifu Yu, Xihua Liu

“…Correlation analysis showed that MAS spasticity score was statistically significantly related to proprioceptive parameters and muscle structure parameters (p < 0.05), and multiple linear regression analysis showed that muscle feather angle (β = 0.362), muscle fiber length (β = −0.157), muscle thickness (β = −0.230), mean trajectory error (β = 0.329) and average weight-bearing strength difference (β = 0.260) constituted independent influencing factors for MAS score (adjusted R2 = 0.787, P<0.05). …”

CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY AS AN ADDITIONAL METHOD OF EXAMINATION IN ORTHODONTIC PATIENTS by P.S. Flis, T.A. Vyshemyrska

“…However, the reliability of the diagnosis depends quite strongly on the position of the head on 2D radiography, as the need to obtain additional radiographs depends on this, because there are significant limitations due to summation overlays, two-dimensional flattening and variable magnification of various anatomical structures of the facial skull. The emergence of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology made it possible to display, study and analyze anatomical structures of the facial skull in thin sections in all three planes, as well as to obtain three-dimensional reconstructions of skeletal and soft tissue structures of the face using a lower dose of radiation than multispiral computer computed tomography (MSCT), but still higher compared to twodimensional cephalography. …”

Study on erosion resistance experimental and mathematical modeling of nano-silica concrete in gravelly Gobi windy area by Kai Zhang, Bo Yang, Benli Liu, Yanhua Zhao, Aojun Guo, Li Chen, Yongshuai Liu, Guangyu Yan

“…The multi-grain-size mixing properties of this flow result in significant erosion damage to concrete surfaces, thereby exacerbating the degradation of concrete structures. In order to address the problem of erosion damage to concrete structures caused by WGF, in this study, nano silica (NS)-modified technology was employed to effectively enhance the pore structure of concrete through its dual mechanisms of action: microporous filling and the pozzolanic reaction. …”
