36 clients with anxiety neurosis were trained to reduce frontalis muscle tension over two phases of ten sessions each. They were assessed on psychological and physiological measures, before, during and after the phases. The data analysis indicated that the clients succeeded in lowering frontalis muscle tension levels during the feedback and no-feedback phases of the training sessions. The inter...

We evaluated the effectiveness of 4-allylanisole (4AA) as a protective treatment for loblolly pines threatened by the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann. Three products were evaluated in combination with two methods that promoted attack of trees by D. frontalis. One method used attractive semiochemicals and the other decreased host resistance, both of which are important sc...

Material and Methods: Retrospective review of all cases of ptosis surgery performed between January 2000 and June 2005 in one of the units of Institute of Ophthalmology, Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Patients with levator function of less than 4 mm in the worst affected eye were included. All patients undergoing frontalis sling with materials other than fascia lata and all children under 5 years were ...

36 subjects were included in a study on the efficacy of EMC biofeedback training in the management of anxiety neurosis. The outcome measures included a physiological stress profile and measures of anxiety symptoms, frontalis muscle tension, skin temperature and electrodermal activity. The data analysis indicated that the subjects were able to maintain reduced levels of frontalis muscle tension ...

Owing to the endoscopic approach to brow lifting, the renovated awareness of the frontalis-galea-occipitalis (FGO) muscle unit concept has modified the understanding of eyebrow positioning and elevation. It is now felt that this muscle unit elevates the brow and that its surgical freeing from the inferior-anterior insertion, associated with freeing of the FGO unit from its skull attachments, re...

purpose: to evaluate the outcomes of ptosis surgery in patients with weak levator function using orbicularis oculi and frontalis muscles. methods: this prospective interventional case series study was conducted over 3 years on patients with ptosis and weak levator function (less than 4mm). in all cases, orbicularis oculi and frontalis muscles were used directly to correct the ptosis. success wa...

The BM2113 locus was amplified in Yunnan mithun (Bos frontalis) from the southwest mountains of China. It showed a high degree of polymorphism with a total of 12 alleles. The 121-bp polymorphic allele of the BM2113 locus that accounted for 37.1% of homozygotes was the predominant allele with a frequency of 58.57%, identified as mithun-specific for Bos species in Yunnan mithun. The polymorphism ...

J. Entomol. Sci. 38(4): 631-643 (October 2003) Abstract Experiments were performed with host-associated olfactory attractants of the larval parasitoids of the southern pine beetle, Dendrocfonus frontal& Zimmermann, to elucidate both their biological origin and their chemical composition. Sticky-screen traps were erected in an active D. frontalis infestation and baited with parts of D. front&s-i...
