DIFFERENT BITE CLASSES AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON BODY POSTURE: A REVIEW by Cristina Albert, Clara Haddad, Ionut Iulian Lungu, Elena Costescu, Aurel Apintiliesei, Delia Cristina Bahrim, Cătălina Smarandita Morarasu, Alina Stefanache

“…Class II (overbite) results in anterior head posture, increasing strain on the cervical spine, while Class III (underbite) causes posterior head posture, leading to compensatory stress in the spine and lower back. Research highlights the biomechanical effects of malocclusion on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and spine, contributing to conditions like kyphosis, lordosis, and gait abnormalities. …”

Electrical Conductivity of Mantle Transition Zone and Water Content Revealed by the Magnetic Data of China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite by Mingquan Lai, Xiuyan Ren, Changchun Yin, Yunhe Liu, Xinpeng Ma, Yinglin Wang, Shufan Zhao

“…The conductivity is higher than that inverted from Swarm data, but lower than that from the observatory data. Finally, we, respectively, invert the resistivity structure of the MTZ with two years and nearly nine years of database of CSES, Swarm, and observatories, and analyze the laboratory conductivity model. …”
