Interceptive orthodontics refers to all interventions and treatments that can be performed during the primary or mixed dentition with the aim of eliminating or minimizing dento-alveolar and skeletal disharmonies that can interfere with the normal growth and development of occlusion, function, aesthetics and the psychological wellbeing of children. The main purpose of interceptive orthodontics is to prepare an environment that will not interfere with the occlusal development in order to reduce the future need for prolonged complex mechanical orthodontic treatment. According to the American Association of Orthodontics the most suitable age for screening the paediatric population for interceptive intervention is 7 years of age. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To review the progress made in the field of interceptive orthodontics and discuss the current principles of early orthodontic intervention.

Objectives: to report the outcome of cases with hydrocephalus findings on intra-uterine ultrasound (USG) examinations which happened between January 2015 - December 2017 at Dr. Soetomo Hospital.Case Report: During the period of January 2015 - December 2017, 20 pregnant women were found who performed an ante natal examination and obtained the fetus with hydrocephalus on intra uterine ultrasound examination. At the time of delivery, out of a total of 20 cases, all babies were born alive, but only 12 babies performed shunting operations with VP Shunt. But at the time of follow up the condition of the baby when the search of this case, found only 7 cases with living conditions. This is probably due to non-routine post-action control to ensure shunt conditions and complications that can result from shunt or other conditions. As seen from the growth and development of 7 surviving children, all cases with normal growth conditions were established based on WHO growth curve and developmental obstacles in all cases with evaluation using DDST II.Conclusion: Ultrasound examination is useful for determining the fetal prognosis, but for fetoscopic examination and intra uterine operative action remains controversial. Similarly, to determine the exact termination time and delivery mode. Pre-natal counseling and examination is required in mothers with a history of fetal hydrocephalus in previous pregnancies. With routine control is expected better outcomes in fetal hydrocephalus.

Abstract Objective: To apply both conventional cephalometric analysis and morphometric analysis (thin-plate spline analysis) to posteroanterior (PA) cephalograms to test the hypothesis that the dentoskeletal features of subjects with anterior open bite in the mixed dentition are no different from those of normal controls. Materials and Methods: A group of 22 white subjects (6 males, 16 females; mean age, 8.7 ± 0.7 years) with anterior open bite (AOBG) was compared with a control group (CG) of 22 white subjects (11 males, 11 females; mean age, 9.2 ± 0.8 years) with Class I occlusal relationships, and without anterior open bite and sucking habits. Subjects of both groups were in the mixed dentition and had no history of orthodontic treatment. Between-group statistical comparisons were performed with independent sample t-tests and permutation tests. Results: AOBG exhibited statistically significant shape differences with respect to CG that consisted of a transverse contraction of the zygomatic region, of the maxilla (at both skeletal and dentoalveolar levels), and of the mandible (in both condylar and gonial regions), with a downward dislocation of point menton. With conventional cephalometrics, AOBG showed a statistically significant transverse deficiency in the zygomatic region (−4.8 mm), in the maxilla at both skeletal and dentoalveolar levels (−2.0 mm and −3.0 mm, respectively), and in the mandible in both condylar and gonial regions (−3.6 mm and −4.0 mm, respectively). Conclusion: Subjects with anterior open bite showed transverse deficiencies in the zygomatic region, in the maxilla, and in the mandible when compared with normal subjects.

Central Africa remained botanically unknown to the outside world up to the end of the eighteenth century. This paper provides a historical account of plant explorations in the Luangwa Valley. The first plant specimens were collected in 1897 and the last serious botanical explorations were made in 1993. During this period there have been 58 plant collectors in the Luangwa Valley with peak activity recorded in the 1960s. In 1989 1,348 species of vascular plants were described in the Luangwa Valley. More botanical collecting is needed with a view to finding new plant taxa, and also to provide a satisfactory basis for applied disciplines such as ecology, phytogeography, conservation and environmental impact assessment.

Portugal has port, Spain has sherry, Sicily has Marsala –– and California has angelica. Angelica is California's original wine: The intensely sweet, fortified dessert cordial has been made in the state for more than two centuries –– primarily made from Mission grapes, first brought to California by the Spanish friars. Angelica was once drunk in vast quantities, but now fewer than a dozen vintners make angelica today. These holdouts from an earlier age are each following a personal quest for the real. For unlike port and sherry, which have strict rules about their production, angelica never gelled into something so distinct that connoisseurs can say, ““This is angelica. This is not.”” This piece looks at the history of the drink, its foggy origins in the Mission period and on through angelica's heyday and down to its degeneration into a staple of the back-alley wino set. Several current vintners are profiled, and they suggest an uncertain future for this cordial.

This article discusses an international exhibition that detailed the recent history of African Americans in Pittsburgh. Methodologically, the exhibition paired oral history excerpts with selected historic photographs to evoke a sense of Black life during the twentieth century. Thematically, showcasing the Black experience in Pittsburgh provided a chance to provoke among a wider public more nuanced understandings of the civil rights movement, an era particularly prone to problematic and superficial misreadings, but also to interject an African American perspective into the scholarship on deindustrializing cities, a literature which treats racism mostly in white-centric terms. This essay focuses on the choices made in reconciling these thematic and methodological dimensions when designing this exhibition.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been used as a cause of death for over four decades. It has allowed deaths of infants to be registered as natural. Within this group of deaths, a certain number have been recognized to be homicides from inflicted smothering rather than being natural or accidental deaths. Research has been conducted using confidential inquires to determine how frequent homicide is in cases called SIDS. This paper traces the history of quoted rates of homicide. Early work suggested the figure was between 2-10% of all SIDS cases, though other workers have suggested figures as high as 20-40%. With the fall in the rate of infant deaths following the “Back to Sleep” campaigns, these figures have been reevaluated. If the higher figures were correct that 20-40% of SIDS were homicides, the fall in infant deaths would be expected to be less than it has been. Current data suggests a much lower figure than 10% of current cases, with much lower overall rates of infant deaths. As well as 10% of SIDS cases having been stated to be homicides, a related question is whether multiple deaths classified as SIDS are really homicides. The paper discusses the maxim that one death is a tragedy, two is suspicious, and three deaths indicate homicide. The paper also looks at court cases and the approach that has been made in prosecutions of sudden unexpected death in infancy as multiple murder.
