Techniques in oculofacial surgery continue to develop as our understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology continue to evolve. While the centerpiece of the quest to rejuvenate the upper eyelid and brow has for years been the upper blepharoplasty, several modifications to traditional techniques have been developed that allow for enhanced outcomes utilizing less invasive approaches. Techniques dis...

This study reports experimental results on the effect of visual prominence, presented as gestures, on speech intelligibility. 30 acoustically vocoded sentences, permutated into different gestural conditions were presented audio-visually to 12 subjects. The analysis of correct word recognition shows a significant increase in intelligibility when focally-accented (prominent) words are supplemente...

RESULTS: Forty-six patients were included. There was a positive correlation between sCML and sMG (coefficient of 0.77, p<0.0001). There was no correlation between actual age and sCML (p=0.769) or sMG (p=0.658). Interestingly, there was a significant positive correlation between perceived age and both sCML (coefficient of 0.552, p<0.0001) and sMG (coefficient of 0.378, p=0.010). There was no cor...

Abstract Context Over the last two decades, there have been development of approaches that are minimally invasive but achieve maximum effective results with minimal morbidity. The supraorbital keyhole approach (SOKHA) through transciliary incision is permits management skull base lesions injury to soft tissue and surrounding brain. Aims aim this study was evaluate efficacy safety SOKHA for lesi...

Objective: ?1 To present our indications, technique, and results for a modified subcutaneous forehead lift. ?2 Methods: Retrospective chart review of 16 patients who underwent a subcutaneous forehead lift. Results: Tumescent anesthesia was used in all 16 patients. Seven patients underwent the procedure without the use of a fibrin sealant, whereas a commercially available fibrin sealant was used...

BACKGROUND Eyebrow ptosis and hooding gives the eye a sad, heavy look that often disturbs the visual field. OBJECTIVE A direct extended scalpel-shaped brow lift is proposed to correct this functional and aesthetic disfigurement. This manuscript reviews our experience with the presented technique and evaluates the clinical results in the light of ongoing concerns regarding the appearance of th...

BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is common among office workers and is the most common cause of work-related disability in people under 45 years of age. The aetiology of LBP is widely accepted to be multi-factorial. Prognostic research into office workers at risk of developing LBP has received limited attention. The aims of this study were to develop a risk score to identify office workers likely...
