The six basic facial expressions (anger, disgust, fears, happy, sadness, surprise) which have been recognized in psychology are commonly used for facial expressions recognition research. In this work, we propose intuitive and effective facial features to recognize the six facial expressions by modifying the original facial feature points used by the original Active Appearance Model (AAM). The S...

conclusions: the facial warts of both cases have completely cured by using myrtle. we hypothesized that myrtle not only have antiviral effects but also may have a systemic impression. it can use topically on a part of body with influence on the other parts. myrtle is especially useful for facial warts. these two cases highlighted a new method for treatment of common warts especially facial wart...

background: the most common neoplasm of the salivary glands is pleomorphic adenoma and the most common complications of its surgical removal are facial nerve dysfunction (temporary or permanent) and auriculotemporal syndrome (frey’s syndrome). one of the surgical techniques in pleomorphic adenoma is partial parotidectomy. the whole excised tumor is surrounded by a safety margin of parotid tissu...

INTRODUCTION The current literature on facial attractiveness focuses on anterior-posterior facial portraits, with lateral facial analysis limited to comparing facial attractiveness scores with various facial measurements. Here we use a novel approach to more rigorously study lateral facial attractiveness by combining morphing software and a genetic algorithm with web-based facial attractiveness...

This work presents a technique for the analysis of Facial Electromyogram signal activities to classify five different facial expressions for Computer-Muscle Interfacing applications. Facial Electromyogram (FEMG) is a technique for recording the asynchronous activation of neuronal inside the face muscles with non-invasive electrodes. FEMG pattern recognition is a difficult task for the researche...

The management of facial paralysis is one of the most complex areas of reconstructive surgery. Given the wide variety of functional and cosmetic deficits in the facial paralysis patient, the reconstructive surgeon requires a thorough understanding of the surgical techniques available to treat this condition. This review article will focus on surgical management of facial paralysis and the treat...
