Ocular biomechanics of the anterior segment
… and spatial resolution) through tracing of the anterior and posterior corneal surface. Measures of whole eye movement (WEM) with CST were found to be robust. WEM demonstrated an asymmetric profile and a correction method was developed to address the corneal deformation matrix for this asymmetry. …

Force Values for Maxiliary Anterior Depression
… determine the force value necessary to depress anterior teeth, considering movement of the anchor teeth. The sample consisted of twenty children. Before and after records were taken consisting of models, lateral and 45⁰ oblique cephalometric headplates, and periapical radiographs. Pain response …

Ocular biomaterials and the anterior eye
… of new synthetic hydrogels for use in the anterior eye, Three applications of hydrogels in the eye were considered in this thesis. For some patients, the only hope of any visual improvement lies in the use of an artificial cornea, or keratoprosthesis, Preliminary investigations of a series …

Executive control in the anterior cingulate cortex
… executive control. One prefrontal subregion, the anterior cingulate cortex has previously been shown to be active in situations involving high conflict, presentation of salient, distracting stimuli, and error processing, i.e. situations that occur when learning new response contingencies, when …

Neuromuscular Consequences Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Objective: Determine if anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLr) participantspresent with alterations in corticomotor excitability, spinal-reflexive excitability, and voluntary activation in the quadriceps of their injured limb compared to their uninjured limb as well as matched limbs of …

Timing of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction
Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) ruptures are common but the ideal timing for ACL reconstruction following injury is unclear. Objectives: To determine if there is a relationship between timing from ACL rupture to surgery and clinical, functional and patient-reported outcomes. To explore …

Neural injury following traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation
In this study I reviewed 28 patients with brachial plexus lesions caused by shoulder dislocation. As far as can be established, this is the largest series reviewed in the literature to date. Contrary to most other reports, the neurological lesions involved the supraclavicular as well as the …

True Anterior Hip Approach by Anatomical dissection
… femoral triangle for the potential space of true anterior hip approach Material and Methods: Cadaveric dissections were done on 51 femoral triangles of 26 cadevers. We measured length of the direct head of rectus femoris from anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to patella upper pole, ASIS to …

Dense Core Vesicle Heterogeneity in Anterior Pituitary Cells
<p>Peptides, which are packaged in dense core vesicles, are an integral part of the function of the endocrine and neurological systems. The dense core vesicles function as an efficient form of peptide storage prior to regulated exocytosis. Two different dense core specific transmembrane proteins …

Proteoglycan genes and anterior cruciate ligament injury susceptibility
… gene, have previously been associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury susceptibility, specifically in females. Proteoglycans have also been implicated in having important functions in fibrillogenesis and maintaining the structural integrity of ligaments. Moreover, their content …

Genetic risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament ruptures
The primary aim of this thesis was to identify candidate genes that may be associated with ACL ruptures, and then use a genetic association approach following a case-control study design to identify specific sequence variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) within these candidate genes …

Design of a novel anterior cruciate ligament prosthesis
Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are extremely common (approximately 100,000 every year in the US) and result in greatly reduced mobility; although several surgical procedures have been devised to address this condition, they are far from being completely satisfactory. The golden …

Extending the reach of anterior segment ophthalmic imaging
… this thesis, we propose a spectrum of portable anterior segment imaging solutions that can be operated by minimally trained health workers. On one end, we present a smartphone attachment with minimal optics and no electronic components beyond what is present in the smartphone itself to examine …

THE ROLE OF THE CAT’S ANTERIOR ECTOSYLVIAN CORTEX IN
… studies have revealed that regions along the anterior ectosylvian sulcus (AES) of the cat cortex are critical for orientation to multisensory stimuli. However, whether AES also plays a role in orientation to unisensory auditory stimuli is not yet clear. Some studies have shown that AES …

Treatment Effects of Incisor Positioning on Anterior Tooth Display
… of changes in maxillary incisor position on anterior tooth display (ATD) in adult (n = 21) and adolescent (n = 38) orthodontic patients. The effects of anterior-posterior, vertical, and angular changes of the maxillary central incisor position during orthodontic treatment were evaluated …

Biomechanical characterization and computational modeling of the anterior eye
… (ACG), the iris is positioned abnormally to the anterior. In my research project, I tried to reveal the mechanisms underlying iris contour abnormalities using a combination of computational and experimental studies. The iris contour is determined by the balance of three forces: muscular …

Pain Threshold of Human Anterior Teeth to Pressure Stimulation
The purpose of this thesis was to design a method of measuring the pain threshold of human teeth and to study the relationship of variables such as age and sex with pain threshold of teeth. A procedure was developed to measure the pain threshold to mechanical stimulation applied as a force with a …
