Genetic study on infantile cranio-facial pattern by twin method

The virtual cranio-facial patient project Le projet de patient virtuel dans le domaine cranio-facial

One of the research goals at the Craniofacial Virtual Reality Laboratory and the Integrated Media Systems Center at the University of Southern California is to build a virtual craniofacial patient from CT data, digital teeth models, and human jaw motion tracking. First, two different techniques to acquire three-dimensional soft-tissue representations will be presented. Then, automatic segmentat...

Cranio-facial Dysostosis in a Dorset Family.

Crouzon (1912), whose name has been given to the combination of developmental anomalies which he described as hereditary cranio-facial dysostosis, presented his first two cases to the Societe Medicale des H6pitals de Paris. The patients, a mother aged 29 years and her son aged 21 years, had a malformation of the cranial vault consisting of protrusion in the region of the bregma, widening transv...

Cranio-facial clefts in pre-hispanic America.

Among the representations of congenital malformations in Moche ceramic art, cranio-facial clefts have been portrayed in pottery found in Moche burials. These pottery vessels were used as domestic items during lifetime and funerary offerings upon death. The aim of this study was to examine archeological evidence for representations of cranio-facial cleft malformations in Moche vessels. Pottery d...

Antibacterial coating on biocomposites for cranio-facial reconstruction

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the fact that implants are sterilized, antiseptic techniques are applied and systemic antibiotics are routinely administered prior to and after craniofacial surgery, infection rates between 3% and 40% are still reported for alloplastic implants, urging for implant removal. The present study focuses on the development of a fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) implant for ...
