ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric performance patient- and parent-reported measures in International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) Standard Set Cleft Care, identify ways improving concept coverage.MethodsData from 714 patients with cleft lip and/or palate, aged 8 9, 10 12.5, 22 years were collected between November 2015 April 2019 at Erasmus U...

This research paper deals with the implementation of face recognition using neural network (recognition classifier) on multi-scale features of face (such as eyes, nose, mouth and remaining portions of face). The proposed system contains three parts, preprocessing, multi scale feature extraction and face classification using neural network. The basic idea of the proposed method is to construct f...

Being cheap, nondestructive, and easy to use, gas sensors play important roles in the food industry. However, most are suitable more for laboratory-quality fast testing rather than cold-chain continuous cumulative testing. Also, an ideal electronic nose (E-nose) a cold chain should be stable its surroundings remain highly accurate portable. In this work, portable film bulk acoustic resonator (F...

ELECTRONIC Noses (EN), in the broadest meaning, are instruments that analyze gaseous mixtures for discriminating between different (but similar) mixtures and, in the case of simple mixtures, quantify the concentration of the constituents. ENs consists of a sampling system (for a reproducible collection of the mixture), an array of chemical sensors, Electronic circuitry and data analysis softwar...

A little over a decade ago, passive humidifiers, ¦^^ commonly called "artificial noses," were rele¬ gated to short-term use, typically less than 24 h. Improvements in design, coupled with careful clini¬ cal investigations, have proven that in select patients, passive humidifiers can be used safely for several days.15 The definition oi several is currently debat¬ able, but evidence for up to 5 d...

BACKGROUND The Millard method of unilateral cleft lip repair has been associated with a short lip and a flattened nose on the cleft side. The aim of this study was to determine the need for revision surgery following repair of unilateral cleft lip repair at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. METHOD Satisfaction with facial appearance (upper lip, nose and general facial appearance) was assess...

INTRODUCTION Septal deviations might cause nasal obstruction and negative impact on the quality of life of individuals. The efficacy of septoplasty for treatment of septal deviation and the predictors of satisfactory surgical outcomes remain controversial. Technical variability, heterogeneity of research samples and absence of a solid tool for clinical evaluation are the main hindrances to the ...

Abstract
 Purpose: The purpose of study is to determine the nasal obstruction, quality life, and comfort level before after surgery in 6th month patients who underwent septorhinoplasty.
 Material Methods: Study carried out 161 septorhinoplasty. Research data were collected using Nasal Obstruction Symptom Scale (NOSE), Rhinoplasty Quality Life (ROE), Visual Analog (VAS). Median, standa...

investigating the frequency of traumatic nasal bone fracture in patients with and without old septal deviation and possible deviation. prospective study of 105 patients with nose trauma conducted and cases were divided into two groups: a study group 35 patients with nasal fracture and a control group of 70 patients without nasal fracture. diagnosis of septal condition was made by anterior rhino...
