Abstract

In rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction, achieving symmetry is critical for optimal patient outcomes and reducing re-operation rates. Assessing nasal asymmetry is challenging, both pre- and intra-operatively, if based on only a surgeons' visual perception to assess and adjust the small distances important to cosmesis (<2-3 mm). To measure nasal symmetry, we first developed an algorithm to analyze lateral nasal deviation on facial three-dimensional (3D) scans captured by external surface scanning. In this, nasal deviation is measured by first registering a 3D facial scan to orthogonal axes in order to remove tilt. The lateral position of the nasal midline is then found across transverse planes along the dorsum and nasal tip regions by probing midpoints 1 and 2 mm back from the local maximum projection. The nasal deviation measurement algorithm was validated on a simulated asymmetrical nose model with known nasal deviation. Simulated deviations were applied to the symmetrical average nose using an exponential twist away from the face, with control of the maximum deviation and degree of curvature. Modeled deviations were evaluated with the algorithm at clinically negligible (0.02-0.06 mm) average differences and for small lateral ...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.
