Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis with orbital and olfactory cleft involvement secondary to indolent mucormycosis.

Purpose: Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis secondary to indolent mucormycosis is a rare clinical entity, and the ideal management is controversial. A case of indolent mucormycosis successfully managed with conservative debridement and retrobulbar amphotericin B is herein reported.

Observations: A 42-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and kidney transplant presented with chronic invasive fungal sinusitis with left orbital involvement from indolent mucormycosis.

Association of Diet With Skin Histological Features in UV-B-Exposed Mice.

Importance: Long-term exposure to solar radiation produces deleterious photoaging of the skin. It is not known if diet can influence skin photoaging.

Objectives: To study the influence of a calorie-restricted diet and an obesity diet in mice exposed to long-term UV-B irradiation to assess if there is an association between diet and histopathological response to UV-B irradiation.

Preoperative evaluation of the aging neck patient.

The appearance of the neck plays an important role in terms of the patient's overall facial appearance. Facial rejuvenation procedures incorporate rejuvenation and improvement of the neck's appearance as a key component. Preoperative evaluation of the aging neck determines the type of rejuvenation procedures that will be required.

Three-dimensional evaluation of unilateral cleft rhinoplasty results.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is a relatively new method of objectively evaluating surgical results, allowing the surgeon to accurately measure postsurgical changes with little inconvenience to the patient. Its accuracy and reliability has been consistently demonstrated in the literature. This article describes updated methods that we use with 3D imaging software to assess rhinoplasty results at our institution.

Effects of topicals on the aging skin process.

This article summarizes the antiaging properties of retinoids, glycolic acid, ascorbic acid, and peptide topicals. The supporting evidence is taken from the literature and the primary author's research, consisting of previously published data and new results from ongoing projects.

Assessment of rhinoplasty techniques by overlay of before-and-after 3D images.

This article describes the equipment and software used to create facial 3D imaging and discusses the validation and reliability of the objective assessments done using this equipment. By overlaying preoperative and postoperative 3D images, it is possible to assess the surgical changes in 3D. Methods are described to assess the 3D changes from the rhinoplasty techniques of nasal dorsal augmentation, increasing tip projection, narrowing the nose, and nasal lengthening.
