in crooked noses, the lateral walls are different in shape and symmetry. although the septum is very important to obtain a straight nose, identical and symmetrical lateral walls are needed for a straight looking nasal dorsum. as well as the septum, lateral walls also contribute in nasal skeletal support and stability. thus, obtaining identical and symmetrical lateral walls is important. in orde...

AIM To find the correlation between nasal airway volume and the craniofacial morphology using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of preorthodontic anonymized CBCT scans of 34 healthy adults in the age span of 18-28 years. The volume was calculated using Dolphin 3D R software 11.5 version using semiautomatic segmentation method to calculate nasal v...

Aim of work To evaluate the effect of refractive status and axial length of the eye on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Method A t tal of 116 eyes 62 subjects were enroll d in the study. RNFL thickness was measured using TOPCON 3D OCT 2000. Results Hyperopic group, as compared to normal, did not show any significant thickening for average, superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal quad...

background: nasal continuous positive airway pressure (ncpap) is an effective method of ventilation in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (rds). using an appropriate nasal skin care protocol is identical to prevention or reduction of nasal skin breakdown in those who receive ncpap. this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence-based clinical care protocol on nasal sk...

BACKGROUND The optimal timing for cleft lip repair has yet to be established. Advances in neonatal anesthesia, along with a growing body of literature, suggesting benefits of earlier cleft lip and nasal repair, have set the stage for a reexamination of current practices. METHODS In this prospective study, cleft lip and nasal repair occurred on average at 34.8 days (13-69 days). Nasal correcti...
