Abstract:

AbstractThe functions of bird song are well described, but empirical studies examining the costs of singing are scarce. Two potential costs are a metabolic cost of singing, and lost feeding opportunities, but such energetic costs will only be biologically important if they have a significant effect on the bird's body reserves. Overnight loss of reserves has previously been found to increase with increasing song rates in nocturnally singing common nightingales Luscinia megarhynchos. However, it is not clear how such costs compare with those incurred by daytime-singing birds, which may forfeit foraging opportunities when they sing. In this paper we investigated the effect of variation in song rate on the body reserves of a typical daytimesinging bird, the European robin Erithacus rubecula, singing at different rates in three different circumstances: (i) Natural variation in song rate of free-living robins. (ii) Manipulations of the song rate of free-living robins using playbacks of conspecific song. (iii) Manipulations of the song rate of aviary-housed robins using playbacks of conspecific song. In all three parts of our study, birds gained less mass when they sang more. Our analyses suggested that this might have been due primarily to a reduction in food intake rate, rather than to the metabolic cost of the singing itself or a concurrent increase in locomotor costs. These results together demonstrate that the costs of singing, as measured by their overall net effects on body reserves, can have a significant impact on the energetic state of daytime-singing birds.

Abstract:

In the second half of the 19th century Robin Hood, who formerly had been a character of historical novels a la Walter Scott and the low-grade criminal and adventurous literature (“penny dreadful”), came into the field of books addressed to young children and teenagers of a relatively high status. These stories were largely designed both to amuse and to teach; they served as the voice of pedagogical ideas and carried the public school ethos. The focus was shifted from Robin Hood’s outlawry towards the very features that could serve didactic purposes. The legendary archer stands before boy readers as an epitome of cardinal virtues of an ideal English schoolboy (patriotism, justice, bodily development, love for sport’s competitions, the skill of fair play, socialization as the supreme value). Robin Hood as the hero of school stories was especially invented for readers to identify with him on the points that were crucial in the public school ethos. For the young readers he became at least a good example, both cautionary and thrilling, of fulfillment of social expectations, if not a real role model.

Abstract:

The International Cooperative Group on Environmentally Assisted Cracking of Water Reactor Materials coordinated an international “Round-Robin” collaboration of 10 laboratories on stress corrosion crack (SCC) initiation in three heats of cold-worked Alloy 600 in high-temperature water. The various laboratories were able to produce good quality experimental crack initiation data, and the Round-Robin exercise highlighted the benefits in generating a significant body of data when assessing the susceptibility of a material to SCC. The compilation of data from multiple laboratories using common test techniques greatly assists the understanding of the material variability and gives confidence in the reliability of the results.

Abstract:

We consider a thermoelastic multibody contact problem for finite bodies with unilateral mechanical and imperfect thermal contact conditions. Using a penalty method, we obtain a weak formulation of this problem in the form of a system of linear and nonlinear variational equations in Hilbert space. To solve this variational system, we propose a class of iterative Robin type domain decomposition algorithms. In each iterative step of these algorithms one have to solve two linear variational equations for each of the bodies, which correspond to heat conduction problem with Newton boundary conditions on the possible contact areas and linear elasticity problem with additional volume forces and Robin boundary conditions respectively. The program implementation of proposed algorithms is made for plane thermoelastic contact problems with the use of linear and quadratic finite element approximations on triangles. The numerical analysis is performed for one-body and two-body thermoelastic contact problems.

Abstract:

In a heteronormative society, boys and girls are trained to dress and act in ways regarded appropriate for their respective genders. Even during play, a boy is expected to indulge only in activities that are traditionally considered masculine. A. A. Milne was inspired by his son’s pretend play to write the Pooh books. From the illustrations in the book, which were modeled upon the real Christopher Robin and his toys, and various biographical material on the Pooh books, it can be discerned that the young boy was dressed in a gender-nonconforming fashion. This article probes this paradox of gender performativity in Christopher Robin’s character in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), wherein the child performs acts considered masculine in his imaginative play, while going against gender norms in his real-life appearance.

Abstract:

With the emphasis in lightweighting of vehicle body structures, body panel vibration and structure-borne noise are big concerns to sound package engineers. Damping materials are used to mitigate these issues. As aluminum and different composite materials are used to make lightweight vehicle body panels, a damped panel using these materials cannot be used in Oberst bar damping tests which uses a non-contacting transducer. To address this situation, SAE's Acoustical Materials Committee is developing a new damping standard (SAE J3130) based on the mechanical impedance measurement method, also called the CenterPoint method. The committee is currently conducting a round robin study that includes different types of damping materials and different types of vibrating bars, including steel, aluminum, and glass bars. This paper discusses the status of the round robin testing. It emphasizes the importance of data analysis using h statistic and k statistic, where h statistic checks the difference between means and k statistic checks the difference between variances. The paper illustrates some case studies based on the work done so far.

Abstract:

Le second long-métrage de Robin Campillo, Eastern Boys (2013), renouvelle fortement la représentation de la prostitution masculine dans le cinéma français. L’originalité du film tient à l’effort de représenter de façon complexe et réaliste les raisons qui ont poussé le personnage principal, Rouslan, dans la traite sexuelle loin de son pays de naissance. Une approche intersectionnelle du parcours de Rouslan permet de mieux saisir les caractéristiques de sa précarité. L’autre originalité du film est d’illustrer, à travers l’évolution de la relation entre Daniel et Rouslan, un cas de filiation queer qui vise à établir l’émancipation de Rouslan. Le concept de transfiliation, théorisé par Denis Provencher, permettra de mieux rendre compte de cette politique de l’amour filial queer. Enfin, une comparaison entre Eastern Boys et Sauvage (2018) montrera les limites d’une approche intersectionnelle quand il s’agit de représenter une prostitution librement assumée.

Abstract:

Objective To give an epidemiological description of the clinical entity given the name Pierre Robin sequence, defined by retro- and micrognathia, cleft palate, and respiratory distress and describe other malformations and possible intrauterine impairment. Methods Using the inclusion criteria of micrognathia, cleft palate, and neonatal respiratory distress, a retrospective population-based study of all Danish live births during 1990 through 1999 were carried out. We found 50 children, 25 boys and 25 girls, fulfilling the inclusion criteria, giving an incidence of 1 in 14,000 live births. Results Two-thirds (n = 33) of the children had the classical U-shaped cleft palate. More than one-third (n = 19) had one or several other malformations, and in five patients the triad of Pierre Robin was a minor feature of a complex syndrome. The most common noncomplex syndrome was the Stickler syndrome found in 6 of the 50 patients. More than one-fourth (n = 17) had some kind of intrauterine impairment, with no specific obstetric diagnosis predominant. Consistent with this, the average birth weight was well below normal. Conclusions Several authors have stated that the triad of Pierre Robin is not a nosological entity, in that it has diverse etiology and diverse pathogenesis. We conclude that the triad of Pierre Robin still can be regarded as a clinical entity, readily defined at birth, experiencing the same neonatal problems in varying degrees and hence the possibility of designing treatment protocols for later scientific evaluation.

Abstract:

Robin Holloway this year turns 60, the age when most composers feel able to relax a little, and graciously accept the marks of status – honorary degrees, birthday profiles, retrospective festivals and so on. But there's no sign of Holloway easing into a settled status and self-image. It has to be said this is partly because the traditional marks of status are not much on offer. The birthday commissions and tributes are thin on the ground, which he tries to be philosophical about. But you get the sense that if they were on offer, he wouldn't feel comfortable with them. Provisionality self-doubt, a permanent restlessness are the hallmarks of the man. That's true of any real composer rather than a career-composer, but it's especially true of Robin Holloway. Everything about him refutes his age and seniority, as if to acknowledge it in any way – even in unconscious things like body-language – would be a sort of betrayal. He has exactly the same slender frame he had when he arrived in Cambridge as a fellow of Gonville and Caius College in 1969, the same lean, delicately chiselled features, always registering a pained sensitivity as if the world is too bright or loud.

Abstract:

Abstract “A central figure in transnational intellectual history” (Roynon, 2013), Toni Morrison’s oeuvre has helped deconstruct the triangulated relationship between a European Graeco-Roman classical tradition, Africa, and America. Morrison’s deconstruction of the classical past and its aesthetics have laid the foundation for the reconstructive work of a new generation of writers, including Robin Coste Lewis. Both writers renegotiate and reclaim a classical aesthetic by recovering its African roots and situating it in an African American context. In addition, the article (1) examines the role of a classical aesthetic in beauty discourse and Robin Coste Lewis’s re-vision of the black female body and (2) addresses what this means for canonicity, linking Lewis’s ambivalence about reclaiming a classical aesthetic to Morrison’s ambivalence in “Unspeakable Things Unspoken” (1987).

Abstract:

The present research paper is the extensive analyses of Ali Smith’s seminal novel Girl Meets Boy by applying Queer Theory as a tool. As a qualitative research, this paper is the study of queer behavior of characters of the fiction which questions over the established heterosexual social conceptions. The authoritative concept of heterosexual bond has been challenged with the idea of queerness or homosexual bond. The character Anthea and Robin cross the social life of heterosexuality and got the freedom physically and sexually in their lesbian love. As revolutionary characters, they question over the dominant narrative of heterosexuality and create a new test for readers. This fiction portrays the myth of sexual minorities in a new way. Their sexual behavior portrays shifting notion of sexuality because of awareness of gender biasness. It also proves that the identity is cultural construct and the characters have created distinct identity going against the so called socially established sexual behaviours.

Abstract:

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of tonguelip adhesion (TLA) in the management of clinically significant airway obstruction associated with Pierre Robin sequence. Design The records of all children admitted to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with a diagnosis of Pierre Robin sequence were reviewed. Charts were reviewed for birth data, diagnosis, preoperative airway management methods, and surgical intervention. Records of infants undergoing TLA were analyzed for timing of surgery, operative technique, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and treatment outcome. Results Over the 28-year period 1971 to 1999, 107 patients (47 boys, 60 girls) meeting the criteria for Pierre Robin sequence were admitted for treatment. Of these, 74 (69.2%) were successfully managed by positioning alone. Surgical management of the airway was performed in the remaining 33 (30.8%) patients, 29 of whom underwent TLA and 4 of whom underwent tracheostomy. Dehiscence of the adhesion occurred in five patients (17.2%), two of whom subsequently required tracheostomy. Within the group of patients who underwent mucosal adhesion alone, the dehiscence rate was 41.6%. When the adhesion included muscular sutures, however, dehiscence was not observed in any patient. Of the 24 patients in whom primary TLA healed uneventfully, airway obstruction was successfully relieved in 20 (83.3%). Failure of a healed TLA to relieve the airway obstruction resulted in conversion to a tracheostomy in four patients. Six patients who underwent TLA (20.7%) ultimately required a tracheostomy; five of these patients (83.3%) were syndromic. Of patients requiring preoperative intubation, 42.9% ultimately required tracheostomy. Conclusion TLA successfully relieves airway obstruction that is unresponsive to positioning alone in the majority of patients with Pierre Robin sequence and should therefore play an important role in the management of these infants.

Full text

Abstract:

In his 2006 essay, “Moral Education’s Modest Agenda,” Robin Barrow argues for a clearly bounded conception of morality; he presents the moral domain as concerned with moral principles, and moral education as the cultivation of moral understanding. Barrow rejects behaviourism, character education, values clarification, developmentalism, and what he calls “the insidious influence of political and moral correctness” as practices and ideas that are irrelevant and inappropriate for moral education. While I share some of Barrow’s concerns about some of these approaches, I believe he over-restricts the scope of legitimately moral concerns and what educators ought to do in the name of moral education. In this paper, I make a case for a broader and bolder agenda for moral education, putting the question of what constitutes a human life (which Barrow takes to be a non-moral question) at the very heart of morality and moral education.

Full text

Abstract:

The breeding biology of the red-capped robin (Petroica goodenovii) (Petroicidae) was studied over two breeding seasons (2000–02) in Terrick Terrick National Park, Victoria. Breeding commenced in August and the last offspring fledged in January. Only females developed brood patches, built nests and incubated. However, both sexes fed the young. Clutch size ranged from one to three eggs, with a mean of 2.1, with clutches of three occurring relatively early in the season. For clutches of two, the period from laying of the first egg to hatching was 14 or 15 days, with a mean of 14.2. The time from hatching to fledging was 13–15 days, with a mean of 14. In all, 34% of nesting attempts successfully fledged offspring. On average, 0.62 fledglings were produced per nesting attempt, whilst 0.57 offspring reached independence. Nesting success peaked in October. Predation appears to be responsible for almost all nest failure, and predation rate varied over the season. Breeding pairs produced 0–3 broods per season (0–5 independent fledglings) and pairs that began nesting early in the season produced a greater number of independent offspring. Nestling weight was affected by both laying date and brood size. A comparative analysis within the Petroicidae, controlled for body size, revealed that species endemic to Australia have shorter incubation periods, and species from semi-arid and dry woodlands have longer incubation periods than other species. Findings from this study are discussed in relation to the breeding ecology of other members of the Petroicidae.

Abstract:

Предложен численный метод определения вертикальной силы тяжести рудного тела. Метод состоит из двух процедур: решения вспомогательной краевой задачи для уравнения Пуассона в ограниченной области с граничным условием третьего рода и вычисления поверхностного интеграла по границе этой области. Вычислительная реализация базируется на применении метода конечных элементов для численного решения вспомогательной краевой задачи и квадратурной формулы для вычисления поверхностного интеграла. Исследуется влияние параметра, входящего в граничное условие третьего рода, порядка конечных элементов и размера расчетной области на точность решения прямой задачи гравиметрии. Приведены численные результаты для модельной задачи c однородным рудным телом в форме прямоугольного параллелепипеда. Purpose. We consider numerical calculation of the vertical component of the gravity force produced by the ore body using solution of an auxiliary boundary value problem (BVP) for the Poisson equation in a bounded domain. Methodology. Auxiliary BVP can be posed according to the gravitational potential or the vertical gravity force itself supplied by a homogeneous Robin boundary condition. The use of Green’s third formula to the solution of the BVP leads to an equivalent definition of the vertical gravity force based on the calculation of the surface integral. The numerical solution of the auxiliary BVP is based on standard finite element method, the calculation of the surface integral relies on Gauss quadrature formula. In the surface integral, Green’s function for the Laplace operator in an unbounded domain is evaluated using a polynomial approximation or an analytical representation. Findings. Numerical calculations of a model problem with a homogeneous prismatic body has shown that the method based on the solution of the auxiliary BVP for the vertical gravity force itself with a large value of the scalar parameter in the Robin boundary condition and analytical representation of the Green’s function in the surface integral is the most effective method for approximating the vertical gravity force. For this method, we obtained the second order convergence rate. Originality/value. The considered auxiliary BVP with the Robin boundary condition allows obtaining a sufficiently good approximation of the vertical gravity force.

Abstract:

Abstract Ornithological studies often rely on long-term bird ringing data sets as sources of information. However, basic descriptive statistics of raw data are rarely provided. In order to fill this gap, here we present the sixth item of a series of exploratory analyses of migration timing and body size measurements of the most frequent passerine species at a ringing station located in Central Hungary (1984–2017). First, we give a concise description of foreign ring recoveries of the European Robin in relation to Hungary. We then shift focus to data of 40,128 ringed and 11,231 recaptured individuals with 24,056 recaptures (several years recaptures in 313 individuals) derived from the ringing station, where birds have been trapped, handled and ringed with standardized methodology since 1984. Timing is described through annual and daily capture and recapture frequencies and their descriptive statistics. We show annual mean arrival dates within the study period and present the cumulative distributions of first captures with stopover durations. We present the distributions of wing, third primary, tail length and body mass, and the annual means of these variables. Furthermore, we show the distributions of individual fat and muscle scores, and the distributions of body mass within each fat score category.We distinguish the spring and autumn migratory periods and age groups (i.e. juveniles and adults). Our aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the analysed variables. However, we do not aim to interpret the obtained results, merely to draw attention to interesting patterns that may be worth exploring in detail. Data used here are available upon request for further analyses.

Abstract:

The Guarded hot plate method (GHP) is a widely used technique to measure thermal conductivity of thermal insulation specimens in steady-state conditions. In this paper, an advance of GHP has been developed in the Laboratory for Thermal technique and fire protection in Institute IMS. The innovative GHP has been applied for measuring thermal conductivity using additional heat flux meters. The design of this GHP is similar to the design of the plate for GHP apparatus; however, it has different design: smaller width of thermal barrier, which is filled with insulation glue. Heaters inside hot and guard plates are built from wire for thermocouples, which is a unique type of heater. Geometry of heater has been optimized inside plates to achieve uniform temperature distribution along the specimen surface. Temperature uniformity of guarded hot plate and energy balance were experimentally determined. The verification and validation results of improved GHP have been shown. The test method was validated comparing test results of thermal conductivity with results of the round-robin test. Four national companies participated in the round-robin comparison on thermal conductivity measurement by guarded hot plate method. The measurement was performed on the same specimen of thermal insulation material (expanded polystyrene) according to SRPS EN 12667 at temperatures ranging between 10?C-40?C. The measured thermal conductivity of all participants in the round-robin test was input data for statistical processing according to SRPS ISO 5725-2 and ISO 13528. To evaluate the performance of the participants, the ?z? score has been used. Measurements were conducted successively for all participants. Since 2020, the Accreditation Body of Serbia also approved this test method.

Abstract:

The composite-to-substrate interfacial stresses transfer mechanism is one of the critical issues in externally-bonded structural strengthening by means of composite fabrics. In this work, an analytical approach for modeling the debonding process of a composite on a non-homogeneous substrate is developed and applied to simulate the loss of bond of FRP on brick masonry. The analytical formulation is based on the experimental outcomes of bond shear tests, which are part of a Round Robin activity involving several laboratories. The experimental work is the follow up of a previous one [1], and comprises 12 single-lap shear tests of four kinds of unidirectional reinforcement, i.e., glass, carbon, basalt and steel, applied with epoxy resin to masonry prisms composed by five clay bricks and four mortar joints. The analytical simulations of the experimental tests rely upon a bi-linear non-homogeneous bond-slip law that was calibrated using the experimental population. Eventually, the analytical results are compared to experimental ones both, in terms of global (load to displacement curve) and local behavior (strain profile on the reinforcement for increasing load values).

Abstract:

The doubly labeled water (DLW) technique for measuring energy expenditure may employ one (18O) or two (18O and deuterium) stable isotopes as tracers. These occur naturally in the environment, so when they are used as tracers it is necessary to subtract the background levels. Few studies report data on background concentrations. This work provides such data for a range of avian species. Overall, there was a strong positive correlation (r = 0.63) between the 18O and deuterium concentrations in birds' body water. Variation in the deuterium concentration was less extensive than in the 18O concentration (1:2.7 parts/million). In the European robin, there was a linked, seasonal variation in 18O and deuterium abundance producing high summer and low winter values. Throughout the year, a high individual variability was greater in 18O than in deuterium. A difference between the European robin and the dipper suggests that habitat may also influence background abundance. Investigation of the effect of variation in background abundance on measures of energy expenditure for small passerines (20 g) revealed that employing estimates, instead of direct measurements, had a minor influence over an experimental period of 1 day but could potentially introduce errors as large as 54% over a 2-day period.

Abstract:

Early studies on reptiles demonstrated that plasma pH increases as body temperature falls (Robin, 1962). Rahn (1967) proposed that plasma pH in all poikilothermic vertebrates is regulated as body temperature changes so as to maintain a constant relative alkalinity, i.e. a constant [OH-]/[H+] ratio, and Reeves (1972) suggested a way in which this could be achieved. Known as the ‘imidazole alphastat hypothesis’, it postulates that PCO2 is regulated (by way of ventilation) so that the fractional dissociation (alpha) of the imidazole moiety of histidine is kept constant. As the pK' of imidazole changes with temperature in about the same manner as the neutral pH of water (Heisler, 1986), the alphastat hypothesis is consistent with that of constant relative alkalinity.

Abstract:

Human-machine interaction is a major challenge in the development of complex humanoid robots. In addition to verbal communication the use of non-verbal cues such as hand, arm and body gestures or mimics can improve the understanding of the intention of the robot. On the other hand, by perceiving such mechanisms of a human in a typical interaction scenario the humanoid robot can adapt its interaction skills in a better way. In this work, the perception system of two social robots, ROMAN and ROBIN of the RRLAB of the TU Kaiserslautern, is presented in the range of human-robot interaction.

Objective This paper reports on birth weight, body length, body mass index, and cranial circumference at birth of infants with cleft lip and/or palate born between 1973 and 1992. Methods Data were obtained from two nationwide swedish health registries. Infants with syndromes, twins, and infants with immigrant parentage were excluded from the study. Comparisons were made with all singleton births with the same exclusion criteria (n = 2,031,140). Results The body dimensions of infants with isolated cleft lip (n = 865) were found not to differ from those of control subjects, but infants with isolated cleft palate (n = 811) or cleft lip and palate (n = 1139) were found to be lighter and shorter than control subjects. Also, infants with the Pierre Robin sequence (n = 121) had a tendency to be lighter and shorter than control subjects, but these differences did not reach statistical significance despite the large study population.

Abstract:

Robin Coombs, one of the pioneers of British immunology, was responsible for the development of innovative approaches to identify the presence of diagnostic antibodies and antigens in body fluids, and for the use of red-cell-linked assays to identify important functional molecules on diverse cell types. He was responsible for the development of immunology as a discipline in its own right, and his mechanistic dissection of hypersensitivity reactions brought clarity to a hitherto confusing area of disease. Although best known for the development of the Coombs test for detection of Rhesus antibodies, the Cambridge ‘school’ that he established has spawned and disseminated a diverse array of talented immunologists worldwide, embracing virtually all areas of molecular and cellular immunology.

Abstract:

The year 2019 marked the bicentenary of George Gabriel Stokes, who in 1851 described the drag—Stokes drag—on a body moving immersed in a fluid, and 2020 is the centenary of Christopher Robin Milne, for whom the game of poohsticks was invented; his father A. A. Milne’s The House at Pooh Corner , in which it was first described in print, appeared in 1928. So this is an apt moment to review the state of the art of the fluid mechanics of a solid body in a complex fluid flow, and one floating at the interface between two fluids in motion. Poohsticks pertains to the latter category, when the two fluids are water and air. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Stokes at 200 (part 2)’.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce and study a new method for solving inverse source problems, through a working model that arises in bioluminescence tomography (BLT). In the BLT problem, one constructs quantitatively the bioluminescence source distribution inside a small animal from optical signals detected on the animal's body surface. The BLT problem possesses strong ill-posedness and often the Tikhonov regularization is used to obtain stable approximate solutions. In conventional Tikhonov regularization, it is crucial to choose a proper regularization parameter for trade off between the accuracy and stability of approximate solutions. The new method is based on a combination of the boundary condition and the boundary measurement in a parameter-dependent single complex Robin boundary condition, followed by the Tikhonov regularization. By properly adjusting the parameter in the Robin boundary condition, we achieve two important properties for our new method: first, the regularized solutions are uniformly stable with respect to the regularization parameter so that the regularization parameter can be chosen based solely on the consideration of the solution accuracy; second, the convergence order of the regularized solutions reaches one with respect to the noise level. Then, the finite element method is used to compute numerical solutions and a new finite element error estimate is derived for discrete solutions. These results improve related results found in the existing literature. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

Objective: To study the neuroprotective effect of curcumin against tartrazine-induced neurobiochemical and histopathological changes in the gray matter of motor cortex of rat brain. Study Design: Lab-based experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Anatomy, Islamic International Medical College, from Sep 2019 to Sep 2020. Methodology: Forty five adult male albino rats (250-300 gm) were divided randomly into three groups (n=15). Group A, rats were given standard rat diet. Group B, rats were given tartrazine orally by dissolving in tap water in the dose of 7.5 mg/kg body weight. Group C, rats were given 200 mg/kg of curcumin along with tartrazine orally by dissolving in tap water, daily for 28 consecutive days. At the end, all animals were dissected and their brain were removed. The neurobiochemical parameters including lipid peroxidation marker level along with microscopic changes widening of Virchow’s robin space and neuropil vacuolation in neurovascular unit were observed. Results were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: The curcumin administration significantly improved the MDA levels (p-value <0.001 on intergroup comparison) and widening of Virchow’s robin space (group A=3.57 ± 0.78 µm, group B=19.39 ± 0.68 µm, group C12.1 ± 0.83 µm; p-value <0.001). Neuropil vacuolation was reduced to negligible in 60% rats of curcumin treated group. Conclusion: Curcumin displayed a neuroprotective role in improving the tartrazine induced neurobiochemical and histopathological changes in the motor cortex of rat brain.

Abstract:

Background: Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is the primary surgical intervention to treat airway obstruction in Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). Current morphologic studies of PRS mandibles do not translate into providing airway management decisions. We compare mandibles of infants with nonsyndromic PRS to controls characterizing morphological variances relevant to distraction. We also examine how morphologic measurements and airway grades correlate with airway management. Methods: Patients with PRS under 2 months old were age and sex matched to controls. Demographic and perioperative data, and Cormack-Lehane airway grades were recorded. Computed tomography scans were used to generate mandibular models. Bilateral condylions, gonions, and the menton were identified. Linear and angular measurements were made. Wilcoxon rank sum and 2-sample t tests were performed. Results: Twenty-four patients with PRS and 24 controls were included. Seventeen patients with PRS required MDO. PRS patients had shorter ramus heights (16.7 vs 17.3 mm; P = .346) and mandibular body lengths (35.3 vs 39.3 mm; P < .001), more acute gonial angles (125.3° vs 131.3°; P < .001), and more obtuse intergonial angles (94.2° vs 80.4°; P < .001) compared to controls. No significant differences were found among patients requiring MDO versus conservative management nor among distracted patients with high versus low airway grades. Conclusion: Our study examines the largest and youngest PRS population to date regarding management of early airway obstruction with MDO. Our findings indicate that univector mandibular body distraction allows for normalization in nonsyndromic patients with PRS, and airway obstruction management decisions should remain clinical.
