background early postoperative edema and ecchymosis are the most common factors to complicate initial patient perceptions about rhinoplasty. the current study was conducted to determine the effects of longer steri-strip tape on patient cheek in terms of ecchymosis control and reduction. methods through a randomized controlled clinical trial, 70 patients who underwent rhinoplasty were randomly e...

MATERIALS AND METHODS A 66 year old woman was referred to our observation, since the presence of a painless swelling located on the right cheek mucosa. A surgical approach with KTP laser was performed with the mucosal preservation technique. RESULTS Follow up after seven days, sixty days and four months did not showed any complication and the histological examination reported the diagnosis of...

Case description- A four-year-old Kurdish ewe was referred to the Animal Clinic of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Razi University (Kermanshah, Iran) with cheek swallowing, infection wound and impaction of the food in right cheek for several weeks. Clinical findings- Clinical examination revealed stretching and laxity of the cheek muscles with buccal fo...

The buccal mucosa lines the inner cheek, and buccal formulations are placed in the mouth between the upper gingivae (gums) and cheek to treat local and systemic conditions. The buccal route provides one of the potential route for typically large, hydrophilic and unstable proteins, oligonucleotides and polysaccharides, as well as conventional small drug molecules. The oral cavity has been used a...

Evidence for the transformist ideas espoused by Henry H. Cheek (1807-33), a contemporary of Charles Darwin's at the University of Edinburgh, sheds new light on the intellectual environment of Edinburgh in the late 1820s and early 1830s. Cheek was the author of several papers dealing with the transmutation of species influenced by the theories of Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844), Jean-...

This article describes the surgical anatomy of the midcheek. The article's key points: (1) Structurally, the midcheek is formed by the convergence of three components: the lid-cheek segment, the malar segment, and the nasolabial segment. (2) The midcheek skeleton provides the attachment for the muscles and ligaments of both the lower lid and the upper lip. (3) The midcheek contains proportional...

The development and sequence of eruption of the maxillary cheek-teeth of rabbits were studied by histological methods. The presence of three deciduous molars which were replaced by correspondent premolars and of three permanent molars without predecessors was confirmed. The eruption of the maxillary deciduous molars was shown to begin at 4 days postnatally and that of the permanent molar at 9 d...

The small venules of the hamster cheek pouch were rendered susceptible to hemorrhage by total body x-irradiation, cheek pouch x-irradiation and beta emanations from strontium-90 glass beads imbedded in the cheek pouch, as determined by negative pressure and moccasin venom tests. Petechiae were formed without vessel rupture and ceased without formation of platelet plug or fibrin clot. Increased ...

In this study, we report findings from a microscopic analysis of the white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) integumentary ultrastructure. Skin samples from the cheek, shoulder, flank and rump were taken from a 46-year-old female southern white rhinoceros and examined using H&E and elastic histological stains. The epidermis was thickest in the flank (1.003 mm) followed by the rump, cheek and sho...

The own-race bias (ORB) in face recognition can be interpreted as a failure to generalize expert perceptual encoding developed for own-race faces to other-race faces. Further, black participants appear to use different features to describe faces from those used by white participants (Shepherd & Deregowski, 1981). An experiment is reported where the size of the ORB was assessed using a standard ...
