background : this study evaluated the sensation of palatal ucosa before and after le fort i osteotomy and compared it based on whether greater palatine nerve has been dissected or not. methods : sixteen patients were studied within one week before  urgery and then one week, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. four tests including sharp-blunt discrimination, cold perception, pin prick ...

AIM To describe a new surgical technique for foveal relocation, and to report the outcome in nine patients treated with this procedure. METHODS Nine consecutive patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVMs) secondary to age related macular degeneration underwent foveal relocation surgery by redistribution of the neurosensory retina (RNR). The technique involved induction of ...

In addition to the important roles of the mammalian liver in the control of homeostasis, such as the clearance, detoxification, inactivation and storage of fuels, it is subjected to various neural stimuli and appears to act as a sensory organ. The liver is in the ideal position to be involved in the control of metabolism and many changes are signalled to the central nervous system (CNS) by both...

Abstract Introduction Sensory nerve transfers are performed as a routine part of phalloplasty surgery. It is well documented that dependent on therapy and rehabilitation in order to optimize outcomes. Despite this, targeted sensory re-education rehabilitate the has yet be employed this clinical setting. Additionally, little attention been paid role central nervous system experienced sensation f...

BACKGROUND In 1953, the sagittal ramus split osteotomy was introduced by Obwegeser. For many years, and in some countries still, this technique has defined the term oral and maxillofacial surgery. METHODS The basic design of the sagittal ramus split surgical procedure evolved very quickly. The original operation technique by Obwegeser was shortly after improved by Dal Pont's modification. The...
