BACKGROUND Commonly used techniques for achieving nasal tip projection and refinement are adequate for most primary rhinoplasty patients, but they may result in undesirable tip bifidity and visible lower lateral cartilage angularity, especially in patients with thin skin. OBJECTIVE We report the use of "like" local tissues, cephalic trim cartilage remnants of the lower lateral cartilages, as ...

Nasal tip under projection is often found in rhinoplasty cases both for congenital or post-traumatic deformity. Nasal trauma may result in alteration of the external and internal nasal structures with following aesthetic impairment and difficulties in breathing. Post-traumatic surgery is frequent, but restoration of pre-traumatic form and function remains a challenge. The present paper describe...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Six nasal tip projection (NTP) ratios from Goode, Simons, Baum, Powell, and Crumley guide clinical and academic practice on quantifying NTP, but none have been empirically correlated with facial attractiveness. This study's objectives were to determine: 1) if there is a correlation between these ratios and facial attractiveness; and 2) which of the six ratios has the great...

The thoracic descending aorta (DTA) was examined in 57 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (41 men and 16 women: 63.0 +/- 10.6 years old) using two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. An intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) was instituted in ten patients. A short-axis view of DTA was examined for intraluminal projection from the diaphragm level to the aortic arch level. In ...

During the G1 phase of the cell cycle, cells of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe can be induced to mate by nitrogen starvation and the presence of mating pheromones. Polarised growth towards cells of the opposite mating type (P or M) leads to the formation of a projection tip and, upon contact, localised cell wall degradation results in conjugation and cell fusion [1]. Here, we have ...

The nose is the central part of the face, and constitutes the most prominent projection in facial geometry. This report presents five cases that sustained a chemical burn injury with associated facial mutilation resulting from contact with strong acids. The chemical burn affected the nasal architecture after inflicting a burn injury to the face. Applying bone deriving from a split skull procedu...

Nasal tip surgery has become significantly more complex since the introduction of tip grafting and the many suture designs that followed the resurgence of open rhinoplasty. Independent of the surgeon's technical approach, however, is the need to identify the critical anatomical characteristics that will make nasal tip surgery successful. It is the author's contention that only two such features...

Threat image projection (TIP) is a technology of current x-ray machines that allows exposing screeners to artificial but realistic x-ray images during the routine baggage x-ray screening operation. If a screener does not detect a TIP within a specified amount of time, a feedback message appears indicating that a projected image was missed. Feedback messages are also shown when a TIP image is de...

Management of the nasal tip is the most challenging step in rhinoplasty. Control over nasal tip projection is essential. A variety of techniques can be used to improve the position of nasal tip. The aim of the present study was to compare the changes of nasal tip between a novel tip plasty technique and the conventional sheen graft one. In this clinical trial study, 60 patients referring for rh...
