Craniofacial diversity across Danionins and the effects of TH status on craniofacial morphology of two Danio species.

The model zebrafish ( ) belongs to the Danioninae subfamily with a range of informative phenotypes. However, the craniofacial diversity across the subfamily is not fully described. To better understand craniofacial phenotypes across Danioninae we used microCT and 3D geometric morphometrics to capture skull shapes from nine species.

Collecting and sharing self-generated health and lifestyle data: Understanding barriers for people living with long-term health conditions - a survey study.

Background: The growing popularity of collecting self-generated health and lifestyle data presents a valuable opportunity to develop our understanding of long-term health conditions and improve care. Barriers remain to the effective sharing of health and lifestyle data by those living with long-term health conditions which include beliefs around concepts of Trust, Identity, Privacy and Security, experiences of stigma, perceptions of risk and information sensitivity.

Method: We surveyed 250 UK adults who reported living with a range of long-term health conditions.

The impact of IoT security labelling on consumer product choice and willingness to pay.

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings internet connectivity to everyday electronic devices (e.g. security cameras and smart TVs) to improve their functionality and efficiency.

A Revised Model of Trust in Internet-Based Health Information and Advice: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study.

Background: The internet continues to offer new forms of support for health decision making. Government, charity, and commercial websites increasingly offer a platform for shared personal health experiences, and these are just some of the opportunities that have arisen in a largely unregulated arena. Understanding how people trust and act on this information has always been an important issue and remains so, particularly as the design practices of health websites continue to evolve and raise further concerns regarding their trustworthiness.

Microsurgical Reconstruction of the Jaws Using Vascularised Free Flap Technique in Patients with Medication-Related Osteonecrosis: A Systematic Review.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been reported to be associated with patients receiving primarily bisphosphonate (BP) therapies. However, lately it has been documented that other medications, such as RANK ligand inhibitor (denosumab) and antiangiogenic drug, can cause ONJ. Micro-osseous-vascular reconstruction of the jaws in patients affected by medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw represents a viable option of treatment for patients affected by stage III of the disease.

Personality and Social Framing in Privacy Decision-Making: A Study on Cookie Acceptance.

Despite their best intentions, people struggle with the realities of privacy protection and will often sacrifice privacy for convenience in their online activities. Individuals show systematic, personality dependent differences in their privacy decision making, which makes it interesting for those who seek to design 'nudges' designed to manipulate privacy behaviors. We explore such effects in a cookie decision task.

A systematic review of soft-to-hard tissue ratios in orthognathic surgery. Part III: Double jaw surgery procedures.

Objective: The aim was to determine the soft-to-hard tissue ratios in profile view in bimaxillary orthognathic surgical corrections.

Material And Methods: A systematic review of studies published in different languages was performed by searching the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Scopus, and Science Direct databases up to August 2015. Additional studies were identified by reference analyses.

Rejuvenation of the ageing upper lip and nose with suspension lifting.

There are growing number of patients attending aesthetic consultations and requesting the rejuvenation of ageing upper lips. Often these patients also have nasal tip ptosis. There are a number of direct and indirect upper lip lifting procedures.

The Management of Iatrogenic Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome Following Bimaxillary Surgery in a Patient with Cleft Lip and Palate.

A 26-year-old man presented with a 6-year history of severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome followed a bimaxillary osteotomy procedure for a class III skeletal pattern. The patient was born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate and underwent primary lip and palate repair and later a pharyngeal flap for severe velopharyngeal insufficiency. Surgical management of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome with conventional osteotomy, in cleft lip and palate patients, is a difficult problem.

Do you mind if I vape? Immediate effects of electronic cigarettes on perfusion in buccal mucosal tissue--a pilot study.

The association between smoking and postoperative complications is compounded in patients who have oral and maxillofacial operations by an additional local effect, and patients often continue to smoke after operation despite advice to stop. Recent studies have suggested that nicotine may reduce inflammation and improve angiogenesis, so topical application may be beneficial for smokers. The electronic cigarette is increasing in popularity and more patients ask whether they can vape after operation.

Management of early stage cutaneous Merkel cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but aggressive skin cancer of neuroendocrine origin. As a result, few large studies have been published, and we know of even fewer on disease of the head and neck alone. The most appropriate way to manage patients with early local disease and no sign of metastases neck is controversial.

Delayed presentation of a swallowed partial denture.

We report a unique case of a young patient who accidentally swallowed his partial denture and alarmingly only presented to our ear, nose and throat (ENT) department 4 weeks later despite several previous presentations to primary and secondary care. The partial denture was successfully removed under general anaesthetic using direct laryngoscopy following admission. He was discharged on a normal diet 6 days later after oesophageal perforation was excluded using a contrast swallow.
