All respondents who were suitable for the inclusion criteria would automatically include into the study. Respondents must be a caregiver for one of his family members who underwent dialysis treatment in the center and signed informed consent for the study enrollment. Caregiver burden was assessed using standardized questionnaire based on Zarit Burden Scale and The Montgomery Borgotta Caregiver Burden Scale which consists of 39 questions. There were 40 respondents who included into the study with following results, the statistical analysis has been proved that significant relationship of gender and knowledge level was evident in the study with the high CB (p-value < 0.05) while age, education level, and treatment duration was not associated with CB in the study. The linkage between those risk factors must be considered in every circumstance for patient well-being since its relationship with higher CB was evident through the study

ABSTRACT Anterior crossbite is one of the most common forms of malocclusion in sagittal relationship of maxilla and mandible. If not corrected at the earliest, it will cause restriction of normal growth and development of both the jaws. The incidence of anterior crossbite is 4 to 5% in primary dentition. Self-correction may occur at the transient dentition or permanent dentition stage, but treating it should be the first priority. Using either removable or fixed appliances is recommended for the correction, but it depends on the patient cooperation, treatment duration, and parent approval. In this case report, we have used planas direct tracks (PDTs) which helps the forward development of mandible and corrects the malocclusion. With two modifications to PDTs, one is using acrylic instead of composite. It is advantageous to both clinicians and parents by correcting the crossbite efficiently in short duration while taking less chair-side time for fabrication and being economical.

Abstract Background IncobotulinumtoxinA is an effective neuromodulator for treating glabellar rhytids. The relationship between dose and reduction in rhytid severity is well established. However, the effects of escalating doses on the treatment duration response are less understood. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effects of increasing doses of incobotulinumtoxinA on the treatment duration for glabellar rhytids. Methods A randomized, double-blind, Phase IV study was conducted at a fully accredited, outpatient surgical facility. Subjects (31 female, 7 male) with moderate to severe glabellar rhytids were randomized to 1 of 3 incobotulinumtoxinA dose groups: 20, 60, or 100 U. Effect duration was determined by calculating the time to return to baseline for dynamic glabellar lines during maximal contraction. Follow-up was completed through 1 year, and adverse events were monitored. Results The median duration of effect was 120 days (95% confidence interval [CI] [90, 180 days]), 180 days (95% CI [180, 210 days]), and 270 days (95% CI [240, 330 days]) for the 20-, 60-, and 100-U groups, respectively. A Wald chi-square test from the Cox regression on the primary efficacy variable indicated a statistically significant effect of dose group on time to baseline (chi square = 54.63; df = 2; P &lt; 0.001). Hazard ratios were HR = 0.21 (95% CI [0.10; 0.43] for the 60-U vs the 20-U group, and HR = 0.06 (95% CI [0.10; 0.43]) for the 100-U vs the 20-U group, indicating a statistically longer return to baseline for both the 60- and 100-U cohorts. Conclusions There is a dose-dependent relationship between incobotulinumtoxinA and duration of effect in the glabella. Level of Evidence: 2

Abstract Objective: To test the questions “Does cervical headgear treatment necessarily lead to a reduction of overbite?” and “Are there differences in treatment results due to different growth patterns or the initial overbite?” Materials and Methods: Initial and intermediary casts of 247 patients who had been treated exclusively with headgear were analyzed for changes in the occlusal relationship of the first molars and overbite. Orthodontic treatment consisted of the application of cervical headgear with nonangulated external arms applied at a force of 3.5–4.0 N. Only patients showing dental changes of occlusal relationship ≥4 mm during at least a 6-month treatment duration were selected. Growth patterns were identified by the y-axis values measured on lateral cephalograms obtained at study entry. Six groups were formed on the basis of these growth patterns. Results: Headgear treatment induced bite deepening in patients with vertical growth patterns and bite opening in patients with horizontal growth patterns. Further subdivision based on initial overbite revealed bite deepening in patients with small initial overbite and bite opening in patients with large initial overbite. These differences were statistically significant (P &lt; .05). Only minor changes were observed in patients with an initial overbite of 3–4 mm. Conclusions: Overbite reductions were not dependent on the growth pattern. Orthodontists should expect bite opening in deep-bite situations and bite deepening in open-bite situations. However, initial overbite situations of 3–4 mm should not be expected to change in a significant way.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
