Article Synopsis
- FFMBA is a surgical method used for treating syndromic craniosynostoses, which involves facial advancement and can stress the optic nerve, possibly causing temporary vision loss during recovery.
- The study included 26 patients with Crouzon syndrome, analyzing pre- and postoperative CT scans to assess changes in the optic nerve's shape and size after the procedure.
- Findings indicated that the optic nerve elongates but its cross-section decreases during FFMBA, and two patients who experienced visual impairment had significant reductions in nerve area correlated with higher distraction amplitude, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of vision during recovery.
Genetic determinism and hemispheric influence in hair whorl formation.
J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg
April 2024
Background: The mechanisms determining the laterality and the rotation direction of hair whorls are unknown. Here we report observations on twins investigating the genetic bases of whorl pattern formation. Knowing that vortex phenomena may depend on geographic effects, we also provide comparative data on whorls from children born in the Northern hemisphere (France) versus children born in the Southern hemisphere (Chile).

Superpulsed Thulium Fiber Laser(TFL) has been evaluated as an alternative for lithotripsy, using laser fibers with core-diameters(CDF) down to 50 µm and additional available settings suitable for "dusting" technique. This in-vitro study compared ablation rates, fissures and fragments' size with 150µmCDF or 272µmCDF with different laser settings using TFL and Ho:YAG.
