The human face conveys to other human beings, and potentially to computer systems, information such as identity, intentions, emotional and health states, attractiveness, age, gender and ethnicity. In most cases analyzing this information involves the computer science as well as the human and medical sciences. The most studied multidisciplinary problems are analyzing emotions, estimating age and...

Facial micro-expression recognition is an upcoming area in computer vision research. Up until the recent emergence of the extensive CASMEII spontaneous micro-expression database, there were numerous obstacles faced in the elicitation and labeling of data involving facial micro-expressions. In this paper, we propose the Local Binary Patterns with Six Intersection Points (LBP-SIP) volumetric desc...

Calcifying epithelioma, a benign tumor derived from the hair apparatus and consisted of hair matrix cells, is relatively prevalent in females. We report a case of right preauricular calcifying epithelioma that was incidentally detected at the examination of multiple facial fractures and became an old lesion without symptoms for 40 years. The patient who was a 42-year-old male visited our depart...

The term hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) is applied to individuals with skin hypopigmentation along the lines of Blaschko. Although it was originally described as a purely cutaneous disease, subsequent studies describing HI reported a 33% to 94% association with multiple extracutaneous manifestations, mostly of the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems. This leads to characterization of HI as a...

BACKGROUND OnabotulinumtoxinA has demonstrated the ability to eliminate mild glabellar lines at rest; however, less is known regarding the effect of repeat treatment on more severe lines at rest. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of repeated onabotulinumtoxinA treatment for reduction of glabellar lines at rest. METHODS Subjects 18 to 75 years old with at least mild glabellar lines at rest, as ...

The problems related to face recognition has been investigated from different points of view. Artificial Neural Networks, ANN, is not the exception. This paper presents a novel approach for face recognition based on three features, first the Pulse Coupled Neural Network Features; second, the Face Feature Lines, FFL, and third, the Karhunen Loève transformation, KLT. The facial features are inpu...

an increased overbite may be due to a skeletal or dental etiology that may influence treatment. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dentoalveolar features in patients with deep bite malocclusion in an iranian population and to determine the most and least effective and contributory variables causing deep bite.lateral cephalograms and study casts of normal (n=85) and deep ...
