IMPORTANCE There is no universally accepted quantitative metric that defines the ideal nasal tip rotation and projection. OBJECTIVE To identify the ideal nasal tip projection (NTP) and rotation by using 3 classic NTP methods (Crumley 1, Crumley 2, and Goode). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Lateral facial portraits of normal-appearing white women aged 18 to 25 years were selected from a p...

Analysis of scars in various conditions is essential, but no consensus had been reached on the scar assessment scale to select for a given condition. We reviewed papers to determine the scar assessment scale selected depending on the scar condition and treatment method. We searched PubMed for articles published since 2000 with the contents of the scar evaluation using a scar assessment scale wi...

BACKGROUND SCAR/WAVE is a principal regulator of pseudopod growth in crawling cells. It exists in a stable pentameric complex, which is regulated at multiple levels that are only beginning to be understood. SCAR/WAVE is phosphorylated at multiple sites, but how this affects its biological activity is unclear. Here we show that dephosphorylation of Dictyostelium SCAR controls normal pseudopod dy...

Background: Urinary tract infection in children may cause renal scar formation, which can be prevented by early and appropriate treatment. Recent studies showed that single daily injection of gentamycin can produce best effect without increasing the side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of renal scar formation when new regime (every other day gentamicin injection) used fo...

BACKGROUND Silicone Implants and other alloplastic materials are frequently used in rhinoplasty to augment Asian short noses. However, nasal deformities as a result of implant-related infections are increasing in incidence. The resulting tissue scarrings hinder the application of traditional techniques of lengthening short noses. The following paper presents a technique to correct severe postop...

1 Shu Jin Lee, MD Kathleen Ong Department of Surgery National University Health System Singapore Sir: W describe an unusual case of multiple trauma in which the patient fell from a height of 20 m, sustaining panfacial fractures with severe nasoethmoid fractures and soft tissue concertina of the entire bony cartilaginous complex of the nose together with an open fracture of the right humerus com...

background neck reconstruction is considered as one of the most important surgeries in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. the present study aimed to assess the results of reconstructive surgery of extensive face and neck burning scars using tissue expanders. methods this descriptive prospective study was conducted on 36 patients with extensive burning scars on the neck and face. operation for...

We describe a scar-related reentrant ventricular tachycardia circuit with a proximal segment in an endocardial basal septal scar and an exit in a region of slow conduction in a non-overlapping region of epicardial basal lateral scar. The 12-lead EKG demonstrates criteria for a basal lateral epicardial VT, however the same morphology could be produced with a longer stim-latency with pace mapping...
