LEWISVILLE, TX, April 28, 2011 (Press-News.org) No doubt about it. Dipak Nanalal Chudasama, BDS, MS, MORTH RCS, CAGS, MBA is a team player. He learned that from his years as a world class athlete. So when offered the chance to join the largest orthodontic team in North Texas, Chudasama enthusiastically accepted. He now runs the Lewisville, TX office for Apple Orthodontix.
Dr. Chudasama is a man with a diverse background.
He was born in Mombasa, Kenya and represented his country in table tennis tournaments in India, Tokyo and South Korea. He was an elite cricketer on the Kenya National Cricket team from 1990-1999 where he broke records in caps, runs and top scores and played in two World Cup championships.
He travelled to three countries to complete his orthodontic training. He earned his BDS degree at Mangalore University in India in 1988 and his MS degree in orthodontics at the Eastman Dental Institute in London, UK in 2003. In 2008, he was awarded the Excellence in Orthodontic Education Award from the Southern Association of Orthodontists. In 2009, he completed his orthodontic graduate program at Jacksonville University in Florida, where he also taught orthodontics and was twice named Academic Professor of the Year. That year, he also completed his Executive MBA program at Jacksonville University.
In between his BDS and MS, he practiced general dentistry for 10 years in Nairobi, Kenya. In 2004, he earned diplomas of membership in orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. In 2008, he became a Fellow of the Roth Williams Advanced Orthodontic Education program. And along the way, he developed a passion for archwire research. He is widely published and as director of research at Jacksonville University, he conducted trials on a new clear wire.
Dr. Chudasama recently left his teaching position at Jacksonville University to become a full time clinician at Apple Orthodontix. "I'm a clinician first and foremost," says Chudasama. "Orthodontics is a hands-on profession, a people profession. I'm very pleased to be in a clinical setting where I can apply my academic knowledge while I continue to refine my technical and interpersonal skills. I fully intend, however, to return to teaching part-time. It's important to merge the academic with the practical in this profession."
He also added, "It's an honor to go to orthodontic school. I believe graduates have an obligation to give something back to their schools-- to teach and mentor-- so that new students are exposed to the best clinical minds."
Michael Black, spokesman for Apple Orthodontix, commented," We're very pleased to have Dr. Chudasama join us. He's a seasoned professional with many years of experience both as a practitioner and as a professor. We welcome Dr. Chudasama to our practice."

Understanding how glasses 'relax' provides some relief for manufacturers
2011-04-28
Manufacturers who design new materials often struggle to understand viscous liquids at a molecular scale. Many substances including polymers and biological materials change upon cooling from a watery state at elevated temperatures to a tar-like consistency at intermediate temperatures, then become a solid "glass" similar to hard candy at lower temperatures. Scientists have long sought a molecular-level description of this theoretically mysterious, yet common, "glass transition" process as an alternative to expensive and time-consuming trial-and-error material discovery ...
NIST seeks improved recovery of samples from biohazard events
2011-04-28
It may not be as catchy a combination as "Miss Scarlet in the parlor with a revolver," but "polyester-rayon wipes in the field followed by saline-surfactant extraction and vortexing" is the most efficient solution to an important biological game of "Clue" deduced by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). As reported in a recent paper*, the NIST team studied different methods for collecting, extracting and quantifying microbial spores from indoor surfaces to estimate parameters that should be considered in the development of a standard ...
'Explosive' evolution in pupfish
2011-04-28
Two groups of small fish, one from a Caribbean island and one from the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, exhibit some of the fastest rates of evolution known in any organism, according to a new UC Davis study.
About 50 species of pupfish are found from Massachusetts to Venezuela -- and they are all pretty much the same, said lead study author Chris Martin, a UC Davis graduate student working with Peter Wainwright, a professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis.
"They look the same and they act the same," eating detritus and algae off rocks, Martin said.

Guns in the home provide greater health risk than benefit
2011-04-28
Los Angeles, CA (APRIL 26, 2011) Despite the fact that nearly one-third of American households have a firearm, studies show that having a gun in the home poses a household a greater health risk than a potential benefit. A new study released in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine (published by SAGE) examined scientific research on both sides of the debate to put hard numbers to this on-going discussion.
Author David Hemenway studied the various risks of having a gun in the home, including accidents, suicide, homicide, and intimidation. Additionally, the benefits ...
Heaviest antimatter found
2011-04-28
The antimatter equivalent of helium nuclei has been produced by an international team of physicists working with the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. Two University of California, Davis, professors are members of the team. A paper describing their results is published online this week by the journal Nature.
"This is the heaviest antimatter anyone has ever created," said Manuel Calderon de la Barca Sanchez, professor of physics at UC Davis and an author of the paper. Authors also include Daniel ...
World's First Environmentally Sustainable Zoo To Be Built From The Ground Up
2011-04-28
You may have heard, watched or read the story...a seaside community zoo becomes the first U.S. zoo to perform a full-scale, total evacuation during a hurricane. The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo made headlines in 2004 when Zoo Director Patti Hall relocated over 270 exotic zoo animals, a staff and their families, to her inland home to wait out Hurricane Ivan (category 4 storm). The zoo was destroyed, and while rebuilding, endured two more unprecedented evacuations ten months later during Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina.
If this story doesn't ring a bell, it will... as the Alabama ...
The doctor will see all of you now? Group doctor visits may be feasible for Parkinson's disease
2011-04-28
ST. PAUL, Minn. –Group appointments where doctors see several people for a longer time may be feasible for Parkinson's disease, according to a new study published in the April 27, 2011, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
Group visits have shown benefits for people with other chronic conditions, but have not been evaluated for people with Parkinson's disease. Group visits can allow patients more time with their doctor than they might have with individual appointments and more time for doctors to provide education ...
Physics World highlight: There's more to implants than meets the eye
2011-04-28
In this month's Physics World, Richard Taylor, professor of physics, psychology and art at the University of Oregon, warns that artificial retinal implants – a technology fast becoming a reality – must adapt to the unique features of the human eye in order to become an effective treatment.
The gap between digital camera technology and the human eye is getting ever smaller, in terms of both the number of light-sensitive detectors and the space that they occupy. A human retina typically contains 127 million photoreceptors spread over an area of 1100 mm2. In comparison, ...
Swiss-US team finds indigenous cases of leprosy in the Southern United States
2011-04-28
Using advanced DNA analysis and extensive field work, an international research team has confirmed the link between leprosy infection in Americans and direct contact with armadillos. In a joint collaboration between the Global Health Institute at EPFL in Switzerland and Louisiana State University, clear evidence was found that a never-before-seen strain of Mycobacterium leprae has emerged in the Southern United States and that it is transmitted through contact with armadillos carrying the disease. The results will be published on April 28th in the New England Journal of ...
