Purpose. To describe the long-term results of frontalis suspension using autogenous fascia lata in children with congenital ptosis under 3 years old. Methods. Forty three-eyes of 35 patients were enrolled in the study. Frontalis suspension using autogenous fascia lata was performed in all patients. The postoperative eyelid level, ptosis recurrence, visual acuity, and cosmetic results were evalu...

Background: The facial feedback hypothesis proposes that expressions influence people's emotional experiences. Objectives: current study, conducted in 2022, aimed to investigate the impact of on nature and magnitude changes emotion, mood, cognitive-emotional factors among individuals with mild depression. This was achieved through use electrical stimulation muscles. study bilateral frontalis mu...

OBJECTIVE To describe a new method of frontalis suspension (FS) to prevent recurrences, undercorrection, and cosmetic problems, and to share our experiences in treatment of congenital ptosis using the trapezoid quadrilateral technique (TQT) and synthetic materials. METHODS Twenty-four eyes of 18 patients, admitted to Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital 3rd Eye Clinic, Ankara, Turkey,...

BACKGROUND Humans spontaneously mimic the facial expressions of others, facilitating social interaction. This mimicking behavior may be impaired in individuals with Parkinson's disease, for whom the loss of facial movements is a clinical feature. OBJECTIVE To assess the presence of facial mimicry in patients with Parkinson's disease. METHOD Twenty-seven non-depressed patients with idiopathi...

The purpose of the present study was to examine whether breathing pattern may be used as a reliable index for the effectiveness of techniques applied for the regulation of mental states. Heart rate (HR), breathing pattern, galvanic skin response (GSR), and electromyogram (EMG) of the frontalis muscle were measured in 39 male and female subjects aged 18-25 years during 10-minute treatment with r...

BACKGROUND Stress is a risk factor for musculoskeletal pain. We wanted to explore stress related physiology in healthy subjects in order to gain insight into mechanisms of pain development which may relate to the pathophysiology of musculoskeletal pain disorders. METHODS Continuous blood pressure, heart rate, finger skin blood flow, respiration, surface electromyography together with percepti...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to re-evaluate jitter values of healthy subjects in whom pairs of single-fiber-like potentials were recorded from voluntary activated periocular muscles using a disposable 37-mm concentric needle electrode (CNE) with 2-kHz low-cut filtering. METHODS We reviewed the recordings of 129 subjects (85 women; 44 men; mean age, 43.8±15.3 years). The m. frontalis...
