BACKGROUND Descent of the lateral aspect of the brow is one of the earliest signs of aging. The purpose of this study was to describe an open surgical technique for lateral brow lifts, with the goal of achieving reliable, predictable, and long-lasting results. METHODS An incision was made behind and parallel to the temporal hairline, and then extended deeper through the temporoparietal fascia...

BACKGROUND To present the outcomes of the tarsal switch procedure using an anterior approach to correct severe ptosis with poor levator muscle function (<4 mm) with absent or poor Bell's phenomenon. METHODS This retrospective case series included 11 patients with severe neurogenic or acquired myogenic palpebral ptosis. All patients underwent the tarsal switch procedure through an anterior app...

The speeded categorisation of gender from photographs of men's and women's faces under conditions of vertical brow and vertical head movement was explored in two sets of experiments. These studies were guided by the suggestion that a simple cue to gender in faces, the vertical distance between the eyelid and brow, could support such decisions. In men this distance is smaller than in women, and ...

In this paper, a method for fully automatic construction of frontal 2D face image of an individual is described. This frontal image is constructed from his/her available side-view images using face mosaicing. Firstly an automatic eye-brow detection algorithm is used to detect the eye-brow along with its position i.e. left or right. By this result it is easier to detect whether the given image i...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease of autoimmunity with variable and diverse clinical presentations. The target tissue is neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscles, where efficient nerve impulse transmission is hampered leading to less effective muscle contraction. Patients of MG usually present with bilateral ptosis, diplopia and fatigability, which may or may not coexist with generalised we...
