Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) is the most serious pest of pines (Pinus spp.) in Mexico. Conspecifics are attracted to trees undergoing colonization by the aggregation pheromone frontalin, which is synergized by odors of pine oleoresin released from beetle-damaged host tissue. Synthetic racemic frontalin combined with turpentine has been the operational bait used in ...

BACKGROUND The forehead is a common site for injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) to treat hyperactive facial muscles. Unexpected side effects of BoNT-A injection may occur because the anatomy of the forehead musculature is not fully characterized. OBJECTIVES The authors described the lateral border of the frontalis in terms of facial landmarks and reference lines to determine th...

Hyperostosis frontalis interna is a curious abnormality of the inner tables of the frontal bones of the skull, said to have been first described by Morgagni in 1761. It consists of aggregations of smooth, rounded enostoses which are covered by dura mater and project into the cranial cavity. Most are about 0 5 to 1 0 cm. in diameter at their bases and attain a similar height. The enostoses do no...

purpose : to compare the cosmetic and functional results of frontalis sling procedure using silicone rod with polytetrafluoroethylene (ptose-up) in congenital ptosis with poor levator function (lf) methods : in a prospective randomized study, 90 eyes of 66 patients with congenital ptosis that underwent frontalis suspension surgery [31 patients (18 unilateral, 13 bilateral cases) using a silicon...

Aims: To assess the functional results and complications of Mersilene (polyester) mesh frontalis sling suspension to correct poor levator function ptosis. Methods: Retrospective case series. 32 eyelids of 20 patients (12 children and eight adults). Results: Follow up 1–69 months (mean 32). Children: eight patients had bilateral and four unilateral surgery (20 eyelids). Good long term functional...
