In crooked noses, the lateral walls are different in shape and symmetry. Although the septum is very important to obtain a straight nose, identical and symmetrical lateral walls are needed for a straight looking nasal dorsum. As well as the septum, lateral walls also contribute in nasal skeletal support and stability. Thus, obtaining identical and symmetrical lateral walls is important. In orde...

old man was referred to M o r r i s t o n Hospital in S e p t e m b e r 2012 with slurred speech and a two-week history of progressively reduced mobility. The man had been found in bed by his carers, unable to mobilise. In 1996 he was diagnosed with haemochromatosis, which had been treated with repeated venesection. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2002; however, this diagnosis was ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) on persistent corneal epithelial defects (PEDs) and to compare the efficacy between inlay and overlay techniques. METHODS Thirty patients (30 eyes) underwent AMT for PED. The use of AMT was restricted to patients in whom all previous measures, including bandage contact lens and tarsorrhaphy, had failed. The amniotic...

background: considering differences in head size and shape of different equine breeds, biometric parameters can be an attribute to a particular race. objectives: the purpose of the present paper is to give a numerical definition of morphological characteristics of head region of the darehshori horse. methods: twenty mature darehshori horses were studied biometrically. the ear length, ears dista...

background nasal valve collapse and especially internal nasal valve insufficiency is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction. this study compares the effects of spreader graft and overlapping lateral crural technique on rhinoplasty by rhinomanometry. methods fifty patients were randomly assigned into two groups and underwent spreader graft or overlapping lateral crural technique. objective a...

results the means ± standard deviations of the averaged emg during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 40.1 ± 19.1, and 23.7 ± 11.3 µv, respectively. those of the percent maximal voluntary contraction during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 51.4 ± 29.7, and 31.3 ± 20.5, respectively. gmax activity during the lateral wp exercise was significantly higher than that during the fronta...

purpose: in this study we aimed to investigate the benefits of far-lateral approach without partial condylectomy in patients with foramen magnum meningiomas over surgical approach with condylectomy. methods: from 1980 to 2011, a total of 17 patients with foramen magnum meningiomas were treated surgically via far-lateral approach without condylectomy. the follow up period of this study was 6 to ...
