Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate ethnic differences in facial measurements among infants to inform surgical approaches for correcting bilateral cleft lip/nasal anomalies, questioning whether characteristics like columella length are predominantly European traits.
- The research involved 33 infants from diverse ethnic backgrounds (African American, Hispanic, and European descent), using 3D imaging to measure 18 different facial distances, with statistical methods applied to analyze ethnic variances.
- Results showed that while African American infants had wider noses and longer lips, there were no significant differences in nasal projection or columella length, suggesting that standard surgical corrections should be applied across all ethnic groups without modification based on these measurements.
Background: The ubiquitous use of social media by physicians poses professionalism challenges. Regulatory bodies have disseminated guidelines related to physicians' use of social media.
Objective: This study had 2 objectives: (1) to understand what pediatric residents view as appropriate social media postings, and (2) to recognize the degree to which these residents are exposed to postings that violate social media professionalism guidelines.
