With the increasing popularity of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in recent years, it is frequently considered for three-dimensional evaluation of craniofacial asymmetry. Currently, there are no published reviews reporting craniofacial modularization to explain the aggravated ...

BACKGROUND Although functional immobility of craniofacial structures during direct laryngoscopy may cause difficult tracheal intubation (DTI), there may be an unfavorable specific craniofacial feature for successful tracheal intubation. The aim of this study was to identify the specific craniofacial features associated with DTI. METHODS Digital photographs of nonobese patients with DTI (23 ma...

Background and objectives: In newborns infants who have just undergone major surgery, the plasma concentrations of painkiller acetaminophen (INN, paracetamol) not yet been determined in research literature. As a result, we conducted study intensive care unit our hospital. Study Methods: During elective craniofacial correction, 40 toddlers with mean (standard deviation) age 10.3 (2.3) months rec...

BACKGROUND Infraorbital nerve constriction (IoNC) is an experimental model of trigeminal neuropathy. We investigated if IoNC is accompanied by dural extravasation and if botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) can reduce pain and dural extravasation in this model. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Rats which developed mechanical allodynia 14 days after the IoNC were injected with BoNT/A (3.5 U/kg) into ...

BACKGROUND Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is an uncommon craniofacial pain syndrome. It is characterized by a sudden onset lancinating pain usually localized in the sensory distribution of the IX cranial nerve associated with excessive vagal outflow, which leads to bradycardia, hypotension, syncope, or cardiac arrest. This study aims to review our surgical experience performing microvascular ...

A quick scan of the contents and layout of this book was enough to make me sit up and take notice of this book.
