Outcomes and Craniometric Analyses of the Champy Technique in the Treatment of Mandibular Angle Fractures: A Retrospective Study.

The aim of this study is to examine the outcomes of superiorly placed monocortical single miniplate fixation in the treatment of mandibular angle fractures and evaluate treatment efficacy through craniometric measurements. Postoperative craniometrics were compared with both the preoperative measurements and the control group. Thirty-four patients were included with a mean follow-up of 3.

Clinical predictors of Alzheimer's disease-like brain atrophy in individuals with memory complaints.

Objectives: The definition and assessment methods for subjective cognitive decline (SCD) vary among studies. We aimed to investigate which features or assessment methods of SCD best predict Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related structural atrophy patterns.

Methods: We assessed 104 individuals aged 55+ with memory complaints but normal cognitive screening.

Pharyngeal flap outcomes for velopharyngeal insufficiency: Evaluation of speech, obstructive sleep apnea, and velopharyngeal anatomy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the speech outcomes, reveal postoperative rates of obstructive sleep apnea, and characterize changes in the pharyngeal flap and velopharyngeal anatomy following pharyngeal flap surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency. A retrospective chart was reviewed for patients with clefts who underwent pharyngeal flap surgery between November 2020 and November 2021. The data collected included age, gender, cleft palate type, age at pharyngeal flap surgery, postoperative complications, age and type of primary palatoplasty, preoperative and postoperative speech assessments, magnetic resonance imaging findings, and obstructive sleep apnea outcomes.

Fat transfer after parotidectomy: fat resorption rates, aesthetic and functional outcomes of en-bloc fat graft versus lipofilling technique.

Purpose: Reconstruction of parotidectomy involves the correction of facial contour abnormalities and prevention from Frey Syndrome. Reconstruction of parotidectomy field with autologous fat has not been popular among head and neck surgeons due to unclear predictability of fat resorption rates. The aim of this paper is to compare the fat resorption rates between different fat transfer techniques using radiologic measurements and reviewing the aesthetic and functional outcomes.
