PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective multicenter study was to assess the accuracy of a computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) protocol for orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The accuracy of the CASS protocol was assessed by comparing planned outcomes with postoperative outcomes of 65 consecutive patients enrolled from 3 centers. Computer-generated surgical splints were used for...

We treated the liquid refusal of a 15-month-old girl using 2 antecedent manipulations: flipped spoon and chin prompt. Use of the chin prompt in the absence of the flipped spoon failed to produce increases in mouth clean (a product measure of swallowing). By contrast, modest increases in mouth clean resulted from the implementation of the flipped spoon alone. The greatest increases in mouth clea...

Numb chin syndrome is a sensory neuropathy of the inferior alveolar branch of the trigeminal nerve, characterized by unilateral numbness of the chin, the lower lip and the buccal and gingival mucosa. We report a girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia of B-cell type who initially presented with numb chin syndrome resulting from skull base infiltration.

This report describes our approach to the localization of the position of nostrils and chin. Basic demand is a good functionality on pictures of face without special make-up. The input picture contains face, hair and shoulders of observed person. We don't use any special lighting conditions for capturing the input images, therefore our program is useful in many common cases. Mentioned algorithm...

Recent research suggests that infants and toddlers succeed at a wide range of non-elicited-response false-belief tasks (i.e., tasks that do not require children to answer a direct question about a mistaken agent's likely behaviour). However, one exception to this generalization comes from verbal anticipatory-looking tasks, which have produced inconsistent findings with toddlers. One possible ex...

For scalable and model-based coding of videophone sequence at very low bit rates, a 2-D scalable face model has to be designed. In this paper, an efficient algorithm is presented for the automatic detection of chin contour of a person face. The chin is first represented by a deformable template consisting of two parabolas. Then, a cost function is minimized to find the best fit of template to t...

The purpose of this study was to compare kinematics and muscle activity between chin-ups and lat-pull down exercises and between muscle groups during the two exercises. Normalized electromyography (EMG) of biceps brachii (BB), triceps brachii (TB), pectoralis major (PM), latissimus dorsi (LD), rectus abdominus (RA), and erector spinae (ES) and kinematics of back, shoulder, and seventh cervical ...
