Metallic glasses exhibit unique mechanical properties. For metallic glass composites (MGC), composed of dispersed nanocrystalline phases in an amorphous matrix, these properties can be enhanced or deteriorated depending on the volume fraction and size distribution of the crystalline phases. Understanding the evolution of crystalline phases during devitrification of bulk metallic glasses upon heating is key to realizing the production of these composites. Here, results are presented from a combination of in situ small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) measurements during heating of Zr-based metallic glass samples at rates ranging from 102 to 104 Ks-1 with a time resolution of 4ms...

This study aims to compare the effects of mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) and bone grafting on the facial symmetry of children with Pruzansky-Kaban type IIB and III craniofacial microsomia (CFM). Medical records and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) data of CFM patients who had primarily undergone MDO and bone grafting were collected. A retrospective analysis of pre-and post-operative 3D imaging data was conducted to compare the improvement rate in facial symmetry between the two groups based on occlusal cant, affected/unaffected ramus height ratio and chin point deviation...

Bone scans, reflecting blood flow and metabolic activity in a region of interest, are frequently used to evaluate mandibular growth disorders. Increased uptake is a non-specific finding and can occur as a result of multiple causes. The correlation between radioactive tracer uptake and growth activity has not been consistently demonstrated. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of planar skeletal scintigraphy (SS), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and SPECT with computed tomography (CT) images (SPECT/CT) in detecting abnormal mandibular growth activity compared to clinical and radiographic/tomographic methods (reference standard) and histologic findings...

BACKGROUND: Indonesia has high numbers of preterm birth, i.e., around 600,000 preterm births annually. It imposes a significant burden on the Indonesia's healthcare system. Indonesia therefore requires its own evidence-based reference to manage premature neonates and ex-preterm infants who subsequently survived. No long-term study on preterm infants in Indonesia has been conducted, therefore we aim to evaluate growth and development on ex-preterm infants until the pre-pubertal stage. METHODS: We at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (CMGH) designed a prospective cohort study of preterm infants, i...
