PURPOSE Repetitive internal stress in the perineum has been associated with soft-tissue trauma in bicyclists. Using an engineering approach, the purpose of this study was to quantify the amount of compression exerted in the perineum for a range of saddle widths and orientations. METHODS Computer tomography was used to create a three-dimensional voxel-based finite element model of the right si...

This article presents the characteristics of changes in hearing and cerebral hemadynamics patients with deviation nasal septum. The septum occurs cartilaginous bone regions, both separately at same time. Deformations can be a different nature (bend, crest, spike) localization. They are one two-sided. Spines ridges more often localized junction quadrangular cartilage perpendicular plate, ploughs...

Nose Lateral osteotomy is known as a major constituent of nose plastic surgery to correct nasal bone deformity and reducing nasal bone width. Different methods of osteotomy have been introduced so far that are categorized into two common internal and external methods. The surgeon has little control on this phase of nose plastic surgery. Several complications have been mentioned for Lateral oste...

Relapsing polychondritis is a rare connective tissue disease of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent inflammation, degeneration and deformity of auricular cartilage. The autoimmune inflammation may also affect cartilage at other sites including nose, larynx, trachea and bronchi. Here, we present a case of relapsing polychondritis in a patient with ulcerative colitis. We also review the p...

The depressor septi nasi muscle (DSNM) is very important in nose dynamics. Its hyperactivity in some rhinoplasty patients while they smiling or speaking causes a deformity that includes drooping of the nasal tip, elevation and shortening of the upper lip, and increased maxillary gingival show.

Rhinoplasty in the cleft lip nose is complicated because of the many features that go to make up a typical cleft deformity. The main problems that need to be considered are as follows: 1. The tip is deflected away from the cleft side. 2. The alar dome on the cleft side is depressed. 3. The ala is flat and buckled. 4. There is an absent alar/facial groove. 5. The nostrils are wide on the cleft s...

BACKGROUND A supratip deformity can develop either congenitally or after a poorly executed rhinoplasty, as a result of fullness or convexity just above the nasal tip. OBJECTIVE In this article, the authors describe the causes of the supratip deformity and present their technique for surgical correction. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted for 62 consecutive patients (24 prima...
