Resumen
La expansión maxilar rápida mejoró significativamente la capacidad de discriminación de olores en niños. Si bien la identificación de olores mostró un ligero aumento, no fue estadísticamente significativo, lo que sugiere que la expansión del paladar puede mejorar la función olfativa.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Odontología
- Otorrinolaringología
- Fisiología
Sus antecedentes:
- La expansión del paladar es un tratamiento de ortodoncia común en niños.
- La sensibilidad olfativa puede verse afectada por los cambios en las vías respiratorias nasales.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar los cambios en la sensibilidad olfativa en niños sometidos a expansión del paladar.
- Evaluar el impacto de la expansión maxilar rápida en la identificación y discriminación de olores.
Principales métodos:
- Se sometieron 20 niños (0-14 años) con discrepancia interarcada transversal posterior a expansión maxilar rápida.
- La función olfativa se evaluó utilizando Sniffin' Sticks antes y después del tratamiento.
- Se utilizaron evaluaciones de otorrinolaringología y cuestionarios para la evaluación subjetiva y objetiva.
Principales resultados:
- Las puntuaciones de discriminación de olores aumentaron significativamente en 3,41 puntos (p < 0,001).
- Las puntuaciones de identificación de olores mostraron un aumento no significativo de 1,28 puntos (p = 0,064).
Conclusiones:
- La expansión maxilar rápida puede mejorar la función olfativa en niños.
- Las dimensiones mejoradas de las vías respiratorias nasales y el flujo de aire son mecanismos potenciales.
- Se necesita más investigación para confirmar estos hallazgos.

01:24Heat and Free Expansion
2.9K
The work done by a thermodynamic system depends not only on the initial and final states but also on the intermediate states—that is, on the path. Like work, when heat is added to a thermodynamic system, it undergoes a change of state, and the state attained depends on the path from the initial state to the final state. Consider an ideal gas cylinder fitted with a piston. When the cylinder is heated at a constant temperature, the gas molecules absorb energy and expand slowly in a...

01:13Cable Subjected to Its Own Weight

Overhead power transmission lines rely on cables to carry electricity across large distances. To ensure the stability and functionality of these lines, it is crucial to understand the shape and tension experienced by the cables under the influence of their weight.
A generalized loading function is employed to analyze a cable subjected to its own weight. This function considers the force acting along the cable's arc length rather than its projected length, providing a more accurate...

The expansion of alcohol in a thermometer is one of many commonly encountered examples of thermal expansion, which is the change in size or volume of a given system as its temperature changes. The most visible example is the expansion of hot air. When air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense than the surrounding air, which then exerts an upward force on the hot air to, for example, make steam and smoke rise, and hot air balloons float. The same behavior happens in all liquids and gases,...

01:28Cable Subjected to Concentrated Loads
1.4K
Flexible cables are commonly used in various applications for support and load transmission. Consider a cable fixed at two points and subjected to multiple vertically concentrated loads. Determine the shape of the cable and the tension in each portion of the cable, given the horizontal distances between the loads and supports.

01:24Cable Subjected to a Distributed Load
1.1K
The analysis of suspension bridges is a complex and critical process that involves multiple factors, including the shape and tension of the main cables. The main cables of suspension bridges are subjected to distributed loads, which result in changes in tensile forces and deformation of the cable. These loads must be carefully considered to ensure that the bridge is safe and capable of supporting the weight of different loads.

01:17Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System I: Subjective Data
652
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health History
The initial step in assessing the GI system is obtaining a comprehensive health history. This includes inquiring about the patient's history or presence of problems...
