Abstract

The chin is an important determinant of the lower third of the face, carrying much significance in an esthetically balanced facial appearance. It is, however, often neglected in patients undergoing rhinoplasty procedures in the UK National Health Service (NHS). The aim of this study was to establish the percentage of a cohort of rhinoplasty patients who may also have benefited from chin augmentation. A cross-sectional study. The digital preoperative pictures of the last 100 patients who underwent rhinoplasty at our institution were retrieved. Four popular methods of assessment were used to assess the chin, that is, those advocated by Silver, Legan, Merrifield, and Gonzales-Ulloa. All analyses were performed on Adobe Photoshop CS4 by two ENT registrars. Values were regarded as positive when there was interobserver agreement. Relevant angles were averaged. A total of 94 photographs were suitable for analysis. There were 58 males. Depending on the method of assessment, the percentage of males who fulfilled criteria for augmentation ranged from 17 to 62 percent and for females the range was 42 to 81 percent. Additionally, 21 percent of males were positive on three or more of the methods utilized. The respective figure was 58 percen...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
