Abstract

Oriental people usually have a wide midface and a prominent zygoma. Reduction malarplasty is one of the most frequently requested procedures for improvement of the facial contour in the Orient. Some methods involve coronal or preauricular incision for osteotomy, but this increases the likelihood of skin scars and injury to facial nerves, and increases the duration of surgery. Some methods involve an intraoral approach but cannot control the degree of reduction or the precision of interosseous fixation with the designed osteotomy lines. The authors designed an L-shaped osteotomy for malar prominence reduction through an intraoral approach to overcome these shortcomings. The authors reviewed 418 patients who underwent an L-shaped osteotomy for malar reduction performed in their department between 1997 and 2007. Follow-up was from 6 to 60 months (average, 12 months). The authors analyzed the rate of complications and evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of their method. Four hundred two patients (96.2 percent) were satisfied. Only 16 patients (3.8 percent) with late complications were dissatisfied. Late postoperative complications focused mainly on asymmetry and cheek drooping. The new L-shaped osteotomy for correction of prominent ...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.
