Using both quartz- and foil-based piezo-electric force transducers, occlusal forces during swallow, simulated chewing, and maximum effort were evaluated in 19 long-face and 21 normal individuals. Forces were measured at 2.5 mm and 6.0 mm molar separation. Long-face individuals have significantly less occlusal force during maximum effort, simulated chewing, and swallowing than do individuals with normal vertical facial dimensions. No differences in forces between 2.5- and 6.0-mm jaw separation were observed for either group.

There have been numerous reports on the survival rate after rupture of an intracranial aneurysm, but the actual quality of survival amongst those who recover has been little studied. In this paper the physical, emotional, and intellectual state of a group of 79 survivors from rupture of an anterior cerebral aneurysm is recorded.
