Total ear amputation is common, and management can necessitate different procedures, especially microsurgical anastomosis. Partial ear amputations supplied by narrow pedicles, however, have been reported rarely. In a subtotally amputated auricle, the chance of survival depends on the vascularization within the pedicle. In our case, the right ear of a 36-year-old male patient was subtotally ampu...

The function of the arteries as an elastic reservoir between the heart and the capillaries is reviewed. The appropriateness of selecting the exit from this reservoir as the point for estimating its effective pressure is shown. The technique for taking the pressure here by the method of Gaertner is described and its advantage and certain apparent disadvantages are indicated. The technique of Gae...

Ear or nose are quite vulnerable to foreign bodies. Foreign bodies cause various side effects in the body. A special category consists of that introduced for aesthetic purposes, particular piercing products. Decoration implanted tissues ear is a body and field increased contamination reproduction pathogenic opportunistic microorganisms. The aim study was determine infectious forms complications...

The objective of this study was to supply information about: (1) normal sex-related dimensions of ears (linear distances and ratios, area); (2) left-right symmetry; and (3) growth changes between childhood and old age. The three-dimensional coordinates of several soft-tissue landmarks on the ears and face were obtained by a non-invasive, computerized electromagnetic digitizer in 497 male and 34...

The performances of most existing 3D ear recognition methods are degraded sharply by pose variation. In this paper, a 3D ear representation called 3D auricle structural feature(3DASF) and the corresponding pose robust 3D ear recognition method is presented. By measuring the surface characteristics through Surface Variation, 3DASF that contains ear key physiological structure is extracted. Then ...

Human ear canals cannot be measured directly with existing general measurement tools. Furthermore, general non-contact optical methods can only conduct simple peripheral measurements of the auricle and cannot obtain the internal ear canal shape-related measurement data. Therefore, this study uses the computed tomography (CT) technology to measure the geometric shape of the ear canal and the sha...

BACKGROUND "Darwin's tubercle" is a term used to describe an atavistic swelling of the posterior helix that is present in some individuals. Little is known about its prevalence, characteristics, and function. With growing interest in the individuality of external ear patterns and its possible applications to personal identification, more knowledge about this tubercle is warranted. PURPOSE We ...

The ear lobe crease (ELC) has been defined as a deep wrinkle that extends backwards from the tragus to the auricle. It has been proposed that ELC is a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this review, we consider the possible association between ELC and CAD. Our aim is to systematically address all the relevant evidence in this field. There are many studies that support an association...
