Background and Aim: Facial features are different depending on gender and race. These features are usually studied in profile view. Angular evaluation of the facial soft tissue profile is important in males and females of different races for correct diagnosis and treatment planning. For this reason, in the present study, we measured the facial profile angles in young adults in Zanjan. Material...

Axenfeld Rieger Syndrome is anterior segment dysgenesis characterized by posterior embryotoxon and of the chamber. Developmental abnormalities angle cause increased resistance to outflow. Ocular hypertension a complication in almost 50% cases. It an autosomal dominant disease its prevalence between 50,000 100,000 newborns per year. The main associated affected genes are FOXC1 PITX2, occurring 4...

Background: Bilateral congenital femoral agenesis is a rare anomaly. To our knowledge, there have only been three examples of simple abnormalities linked to the facial syndrome. We present straightforward case bilateral in 3-month-old female infant who did not syndrome and whose mother diabetes. Discussion: unusual anomaly; six cases reported. Other structural are often involved; these include ...

the goal of facial animation is to synthesize realistic facial animated images using computer graphics. because of its capability in creating facial animated images using a few amount of information, facial animation using feature vectors was extensively studied in recent years. in general, this method is considered as one of the performance-driven facial animation base methods. in this regard,...

which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. excess cartilaginous structure and to reconstruct the tragus. The accessory structure was resected in a wedge shape, remaining inferiorly based chondrocutaneous flap. The curved shape of the remaining chondrocutaneous composite flap was perfect for a new tra...

The recognition of velo-cardio-facial syndrome as a specific congenital malformation syndrome is a relatively recent development for so common a disorder. The syndrome has appeared in the medical literature either as a specific and distinct diagnostic entity or as part of a discussion of broader symptoms (such as immune compromise, heart anomalies, or speech disorders) since the 1950s, but the ...

Automatic analysis of human facial expressions is one of the challenging problems in machine vision systems. It has many applications in human-computer interactions such as, social signal processing, social robots, deceit detection, interactive video and behavior monitoring. In this paper, we develop a new method for automatic facial expression recognition based on facial muscle anatomy and hum...

Introduction: We present a retrospective two-center study series and discussion of the current literature to assess the benefits of facial nerve monitoring during parotidectomy. Materials and Methods: From 2007 to 2012, 128 parotidectomies were performed in 125 patients. Of these, 47 procedures were performed without facial nerve monitoring (group 1) and 81 with facial nerve monitoring (group 2...

Introduction: Facial expression to pain is an important pain indicator; however, facial movements look unresponsive when perceiving mild pain. The present study investigates whether pain magnitude modulates the relationship between subjective pain rating and an observer’s evaluation of facial expression.  Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers were recruited to obtain 108 samples for pa...
