there have been sparse reports in literature of avulsion and degloving injuries of individual areas of face like the nose, eyelids, ear and even mandible. hemi-facial degloving is extremely rare. we present a case of post-assault degloving of the nose, part of forehead with anterior wall of frontal sinus, entire upper and lower eyelids and the cheek. proper planning and staging of the surgical ...

abstract background: pregnancy can be in conflict with sexual function which can be affected by physical and psychological changes during pregnancy. therefore, comparison of the effect of face‑to‑face education with group education on sexual function during pregnancy in couples was the purpose of this research. materials and methods: in this quasi‑experimental pre‑test post‑test study, 64 pregn...

1] demonstrates that simple schematic faces evoke neural responses comparable to those evoked by photographic face stimuli. The authors argue that this shows that schematic visual stimuli may still validly represent face processing, although it has been argued that such non-photographic faces lack many of the visual properties of the human face. In this commentary I would like to elaborate on t...

cephalometry is an important branch of anthropology in which the dimensions of head and face can be determined. these dimensions are used to show indexes for studying brain growth and formation of all types of head and face. indexes are vary from 65 to 95 for head and 65 to105 for face, which are used to determine 4 international anatomic types of head and 5 international anatomic types of face...

The philosophical perspectives on model evaluation can be broadly classified into reductionist/logical positivist and relativist/holistic. In this paper, we outline some of our past efforts in, and challenges faced during, evaluating models of social systems with cognitively detailed agents. Owing to richness in the model, we argue that the holistic approach and consequent continuous improvemen...

Microproblematica are microfossils whose suprageneric taxonomic status is unknown. Many microproblematica display an encrusting way of life and can therefore be included in the group of “micro-encrusters” that during the Upper Jurassic were conspicuous components of microbial carbonate crusts (e.g. LEINFELDER et al., 1993; SCHMID, 1996; DUPRAZ & STRASSER, 1999, 2002). These forms are widespread...

BACKGROUND Heart failure is a highly debilitating syndrome with a poor prognosis primarily affecting the elderly. Clinicians wanting timely access to heart failure evidence to provide optimal patient care can face many challenges in locating this evidence. This study developed and validated a search filter of high clinical utility for the retrieval of heart failure articles in OvidSP Medline. ...

background: to determine the atmospheric contamination by pesticides, conducting laboratory studies is necessary before operating field studies. the aim of this research study was to develop an analytical method to sample and simultaneously determine airborne amitraz and its metabolite. methods: a modified fritted impinger with acetonitrile as the liquid sorbent was used in order to study the a...
