Functional Groups

89.1K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Functionalism

2.7K
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.

Mechanical Protein Functions

5.7K
Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Structural Protein Function01:56

Structural Protein Function

30.0K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Hyperbolic Functions01:25

Hyperbolic Functions

A flexible cable suspended between two points at the same height naturally forms a curve known as a catenary. This shape results from the balance between the cable’s weight and the tension acting along its length, representing a state of mechanical equilibrium. Unlike simpler approximations, the true shape of a hanging cable is described using hyperbolic functions.Hyperbolic functions are closely related to exponential functions and are named for their connection to the geometry of the...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Unilateral condylar hyperplasia treatment with condylectomy shows low impact on mandibular function and oral health. Patients experienced minimal impairment, suggesting condylectomy is effective for this rare growth disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthodontics
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is a rare mandibular growth disorder causing facial asymmetry.
    • Condylectomy is the primary surgical intervention for this condition.
    • Assessing functional and quality-of-life outcomes post-treatment is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term effects of condylectomy on mandibular function.
    • To assess the impact of condylectomy on oral health-related quality of life.
    • To correlate patient age with functional limitations after treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study involving 17 patients treated for unilateral condylar hyperplasia.
    • Utilized the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-NL49).
    • Data collected from patients treated between 1997 and 2012 at University Medical Center Groningen.

    Main Results:

    • Median MFIQ score was 8.0 (IQR [1.0; 15.0]), indicating low functional impairment.
    • Median OHIP-NL49 score was 25.0 (IQR [3.0; 53.0]), suggesting a minimal decrease in oral health quality of life.
    • A significant positive correlation was found between higher age and increased mandibular function limitations (rs = 0.588, p = 0.013).

    Conclusions:

    • Condylectomy for unilateral condylar hyperplasia results in low levels of functional impairment.
    • Oral health-related quality of life is minimally affected post-surgery.
    • Age is a factor influencing functional outcomes in patients with treated unilateral condylar hyperplasia.
