Facial perception, self-esteem and psychosocial well-being in patients after nasal surgery due to trauma, cancer and aesthetic needs (cluster analysis of multiple interrelations).

Facial anthropometric measurements in relation to self-esteem and self-perception have become a very popular topic, not only in anthropological and psychological research, but also in plastic reconstructive surgery. To compare the interrelations between facial perception, self-esteem and psychosocial well-being in patients after nasal surgery due to trauma, cancer and aesthetic needs. In total, ninety patients after nasal surgery (due to trauma, cancer and aesthetic reasons), and thirty control persons underwent facial anthropometry and answered questions related to facial perception (FP), self-esteem (SE) and psychosocial well-being (PW).

Age- and sex-related growth patterns of the craniofacial complex in European children aged 3-6 years.

Background: Craniofacial growth changes in young children are not yet completely understood. Up-to-date references for craniofacial measurements are crucial for clinical assessment of orthodontic anomalies, craniofacial abnormalities and subsequent planning of interventions.

Aim: To provide normal reference data and to identify growth patterns for craniofacial dimensions of European boys and girls aged 3-6 years.

To compare the relation between the changes in the body and breast size in pregnant and young nulliparous women. In 2008-2009, 82 young nulliparous nineteen-year-old women were examined in Šiauliai (Study I). Their body mass and breast size data were compared with the findings obtained from the examination of pregnant women during their first trimester in Vilnius from 2013 to 2015 (Study II).

Symmetry of external auditive meatus. A pilot study on human skulls.

OBJECTIVES. To evaluate the perpendicularity of the line connecting external auditive meatus to the midsagital plane and the palatal suture as a midsagittal symmetry reference line. Setting and Sample Population - 62 randomly chosen human skulls from osteological collection (Vilnius University).

A meta-analysis of heart rate and QT interval alteration in anorexia nervosa.

Objective: Reports have suggested association between sudden death and QT prolongation in AN patients. Incidence and clinical consequences of cardiac abnormalities remain controversial. As the course of AN disease is long-lasting it remains unclear how often psychiatrists should send AN patients for somatic and especially cardiological investigation.

[Changes in anthropometric and metabolic parameters in pregnancy and neonatal physical development during last decades].

Objective: To evaluate changes in anthropometric and biochemical parameters in pregnancy and their dynamics during last two decades and to determine the association between anthropometric and biochemical parameters, their influence on fetal and neonatal development.

Material And Methods: In 1985-2005, anthropometric (height, body mass, weight gain during pregnancy, pelvic measurements, skinfold thicknesses, passive body mass) and biochemical (cholesterol, triglyceride, protein, and iron levels) parameters, their correlation, changes in pregnancy were examined; also the correlations between these parameters and neonatal body mass indices were evaluated. In 1986-1987, 383 pregnant women were examined, in 1998--130, and in 2003-2005--133.
