Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is characterized by difficulty or inability to open the mouth due to fusion of the temporal and the mandible, resulting in facial symmetry/deformity, malocclusion and dental problems.
The traditional hallways lined with marble and individual office doors will give way to open floors that characterize the information age.
Despite considerable discussion and debate about adherence to preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), scant data are available that characterize patterns of adherence to open-label PrEP.
Several different brands of adjustable CSF shunts are available, characterized by opening pressures ranging from approximately 0 to 200 mm H2O, depending on the brand and the model.
By matching the identified subtypes to cell line panels that have been pharmacologically characterized, it opens up new possibilities for the development and application of targeted therapies for defined CRC patient sub-populations.
Since many of these modifications remain poorly characterized, their discoveries open up new avenues of research and promote the development of novel technologies.
Fault surface normal stress, which is an important parameter used to characterize the fault opening degree, is crucial to fault sealing (Fu et al. 2005).
DHSs are thought to be characterized by open, accessible chromatin and are functionally related to transcriptional activity.
However, in a few cases (6 sequences out of 161, 3.7%), dif was present within coding sequences, four of which corresponding to hypothetical proteins, plus two associated to characterized open reading frames (ORFs).
Similar to the Serengeti plains to the West, the vegetation in the rift and above the rift escarpment is characterized by open grasslands to shrublands with scattered trees, varying with topography and rainfall distribution (Fig. 2f; see Reed et al. 2009; White 1986).
