BACKGROUND The purpose of this article is to review the efficacy of the vest-over-pants technique for elimination of the platysma bands and improvement of the cervicomental angle. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review of 88 patients with neck aging selected randomly by a visiting fellow and a medical student. The collected information included patient demographics, cervical surgical te...

Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) can be thought of as a life vest till the lifeboat (implantable cardioverter defibrillator ICD) arrives [1]. It is often used as a bridge to the implantation of an ICD when the indication for the latter is not yet well established in the subject. Sometimes it may be used as definitive therapy in those with limited life expectancy due to other serious co...

Carbon taxation is a core instrument for climate mitigation. Its implementation, however, faces popular resistance. In this paper we study one of the most emblematic mobilizations triggered by carbon tax issue, Yellow Vest movement in France.

Awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) in pediatric patients remains a continuous challenge for the anesthetists, and is considered more cumbersome procedure as compared to adult population. The coexistence of unstable cervical spine injuries, although rare, but complicates even more. Proper pre-planning, adequate sedation analgesia patient’s conscious cooperation are needed ensure success. We desc...

gas turbines play an important role in supplying power for the country especially in peak electricity load. the main disadvantages are the turbines, they produce large changes are a result of climate change. however, in times of peak electricity grid and at the same time warm months, can produce gas turbines under the effect of ambient temperature, the amount of reduced considerably. the method...

Recent studies in social warmth suggest the essence of physical warmth to the interpersonal interaction and human relationship. Mediated warmth therefore can serve as a computer mediated communication (CMC) when the persons are physically separated. Through this study, a pilot experiment was designed and developed to learn about the possibility of body warmth as an intimate cue when experiencin...

The widespread use of smartphones and sensors has made physiology, environment, and public health notifications amenable to continuous monitoring. Personalized digital health and patient empowerment can become a reality only if the complex multisensory and multimodal data is processed within the patient context, converting relevant medical knowledge into actionable information for better and ti...

A 60-year-old man sustained an undisplaced type III odontoid fracture following a fall down a full flight of stairs. His medical history was remarkable for a partial pancreatectomy and splenectomy in 2006 for chronic pancreatitis.
