Flexibility of an orthodontic wire is directly proportional to its length and the interbracket distance. Flexibility is inversely proportional to the cross-section diameter/area. Bracket prescription refers to the angles built into the brackets themselves and does not directly influence the inherent flexibility of the wire material.

Beta2 agonists, such as albuterol, work by binding to beta2 receptors on the smooth muscles surrounding the airways, leading to relaxation of these muscles and bronchodilation, which helps alleviate the bronchospasm characteristic of an asthma attack.

MedicineThe response to treatment of syphilis is best monitored by VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test) because it is a non-specific test for syphilis that measures the presence of antibodies in the blood. It is widely used for diagnosis and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) and FTA-ABS (Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption) are both specific treponemal antibody tests, which are used for confirming the diagnosis but not as commonly for monitoring treatment response. TPI (Treponema pallidum immobilization) is a specific antibody test but less sensitive than TPHA and FTA-ABS, making VDRL a more practical choice for monitoring treatment.
