Background: Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery techniques. The evaluation of both functional and cosmetic aspects of rhinoplasty is essential for planning and assessing surgery results. The Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) is a validated questionnaire used to assess both functional and aesthetic symptoms in patients with nasal problems, and it has been translated into several languages.

This study aimed to introduce an objective evaluation method based on computed tomography (CT) images to measure the effectiveness of septorhinoplasty for CSD treatment.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed preoperative and postoperative CT images of patients who had undergone functional open septorhinoplasty by the plastic surgery and otorhinolaryngology teams between January and September 2019.
Article Synopsis
- In the late 2010s, AI technology started helping with food science and nutrition research.
- The review looks at how AI is used in other areas like engineering and medicine, and also its history with food science.
- It discusses current AI uses in agriculture and food, like finding healthy foods, checking diets, analyzing gut bacteria, and predicting toxic ingredients, and suggests these uses will be important in the future.
Purpose: To histologically describe a direct contact (the so-called dehiscence) of the optic nerve (ON) and/or internal carotid artery (ICA) to the mucosa of posterior paranasal sinuses represented by the sphenoid sinus (SS).
Methods: Observations of histological sections of unilateral or bilateral skull bases (parasellar area and orbital apex) from 22 elderly cadavers were made.
Results: A bony septum was less than 300 µm between the SS and ICA and 200 µm between the SS and optic nerve.
