Hereditary chin trembling is a rare autosomal dominant disease often considered as an "essential tremor variant". The clinical and neurophysiological data obtained in a new white family lead to the suggestion that this abnormal involuntary movement is a focal variant of hereditary essential myoclonus.

objectives: this study was designed to assess the changes of the mandible of patients who underwent orthodontic treatment with or without extraction of four premolars. materials and methods: eighteen class i bimaxillary protrusion patients treated with extraction of four first premolars and retraction of anterior teeth and 18 class i non-extraction patients with a mean age of 16.38±0.4 years we...

This study investigated the influence of frying oil types and storage duration on acrylamide concentration, moisture variation pattern, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content acceptability factors commonly consumed snack (chin-chin). A standard processing procedure was used to prepare (chin-chin) using a combination ingredients such as wheat flour, sugar, salt, margarine, groun...

This paper proposes a novel method for extraction of eyebrow contour and chin contour. We first segment rough eyebrow regions using spatial constrained sub-area K-means clustering. Then eyebrow contours are extracted by Snake method with effective image force. For chin contour extraction, we first estimate several possible chin locations which are used to build a number of curves as chin contou...

This paper proposes a novel method for chin contour estimation. First, we estimate several possible chin locations. A modified Canny edge detector is then used to extract edges from the face image. Using these estimated chin edges and chin locations, we obtain a number of curves as candidates of the chin contour. A confidence score that measures the likeliness of a curve being the actual chin c...
