[Maxillo-mandibular sagittal relations in the lateral facial examination].

For the purpose of developing a clinical method of facial examination that could permit a determination of the skeletal position of the upper jaw and the mandible, a sample of 70 teleradiographies of individuals among 8 and 18 years of both sexes was analyzed. The anteroposterior relationship of the maxila to the cranium was analyzed through perpendiculars from skin points Nasion, Glabela and Subnasal to the Frankfurt horizontal plane and it was found that Glabela was 2 mm behind Subnasal. The anteroposterior position of the mandible related to the maxila was studied on a perpendicular to Tragion-Subnasal plane descended from point Subnasal and it was found that the labiomental fold was coincident with this perpendicular. A new clinical method using a square rule leaned on the cheek using these reference points is recommended.

Advanced nursing practice from a cross-cultural perspective.

This article describes the perceptions of a visiting lecturer exchange experience between Wolverhampton University, School of Nursing and Midwifery, and the University of Kentucky, Lexington, in the American state of Kentucky. The major goal of the visit was to learn health assessment skills to bring back to future advanced practice programmes within the university. The opportunity to work with a variety of nurse practitioners culminated in a unique review of the training development and evolution of advanced nursing practice in Kentucky. Some of the conceptual confusions of advanced nursing practice are explored, together with the features of a new blended role which combines the practice of two traditional positions: the medical skills of nurse practitioners and the expertise of clinical nurse specialists.
