The aim of this study was to analyze lip shapes as represented in the British edition of Vogue over the last century (1916–2015). Photographs containing distinguishable lips were selected from a book entitled Vogue 100: A Century of Style. A total of 98 frontal pictures (20 males, 78 females) in which the lips and mouth were identifiable were included and analyzed in terms of 4 lip-related ratios (lip thickness-to-width ratio [LTW]; upper-to-lower vermillion ratio [ULR]; upper vermillion thickness-to-upper...

The recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is high post-treatment. In this study, we aimed to construct individualized models for prediction of the postoperative recurrence of CSDH in patients underwent twist-drill craniostomy combined with urokinase (UK) instillation. In total, 183 patients with CSDH were retrospectively enrolled. In summary, 21 candidate factors were retrieved from past medical records. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was adopted to reduce...

Approximately 30% of newborns have some degree of congenital ear anomalies, the minority will resolve spontaneously. Deformations can be treated non-surgically, when diagnosed early, whereas malformations surgically only. The authors use the EarWell system proven to achieve excellent results in treating deformations. Although prematurity might raise the risk of ear-deformations compared to term infants, in our experience, there is a longer time frame until effective treatment is initiated due to...

Acalvaria, also known as acrania, is a rare congenital anomaly which is characterized by a complete or partial defect of the calvarium. Due to the low number of patients reported, there is no a standard for the treatment of this condition; thereby, the objective is to present a new surviving patient with acalvaria and a novel surgical approach to treat it, giving craniofacial surgeons and neurosurgeons more tools to face it. In this article, the authors present a reproducible surgical approach in...

Orbital osteomyelitis in the pediatric patient is a rare clinical entity with limited reports in the literature. Outcomes for orbital osteomyelitis can be potentially fatal, and effective diagnosis and treatment often requires an extensive differential and multidisciplinary team approach. As such, the authors systematically evaluated a pooled analysis of patients in published studies to better understand the clinical trends of this condition. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews...

Introduction: Endoscopic endonasal approach has become popularly preferred for pituitary surgery in recent years. In this study we described a new technique which is developed by the first author and which is modified from The Rivera-Serrano “salvage” flap approach. With this new technique the septum morbidity was completely prevented and a wider and more comfortable vision was provided for the operation. Material-method: This study consists 7 patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal...

This study aimed to investigate the changes in tongue-palatal contact patterns in patients with mandibular lateral deviation by electropalatography (EPG) before and after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). Ten mandibular asymmetry patients who underwent SSRO participated in the study. Tongue-palatal contact patterns for the production of /t/ and /s/ sounds were observed using EPG before surgery and 3 months after surgery, and the changes in EPG pattern were examined. The number of electrode contacts...

Osteogenesis Differences Around Titanium Implant and in Bone Defect Between Jaw Bones and Long Bones
The aim of this study is to evaluate the osteogenesis around titanium implant and in bone defect or fracture in jaw bones and long bones in ovariectomized (OVX) animal models. The literature on the osteogenesis around titanium implant and in bone defect or fracture in jaw bones and long bones was reviewed with charts. Fourty-eight rats were randomly divided into OVX group with ovariectomy and SHAM (sham-surgery) group with sham surgery. Titanium implants were inserted in the right mandibles and tibiae;...

Objective: Orthognathic surgery is an effective method to correct the dentomaxillofacial deformities. The aim of the study is to introduce the robot-assisted orthognathic surgery and demonstrate the accuracy and feasibility of robot-assisted osteotomy in transferring the preoperative virtual surgical planning (VSP) into the intraoperative phase. Methods: The CMF robot system, a craniomaxillofacial surgical robot system was developed, consisted of a robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom,...

Abstract Background It is necessary to clarify that temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are one of the most misdiagnosed and mistreated maladies in the medical practice. It is an umbrella term, embracing conditions which involve the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related muscles. One of these common irritating disorders is the internal derangement which is used specifically to describe the displacement of the TMJ disc. The treatment...
