The Effects of the Maxillary Movements in Angle Class 2 and 3 Malocclusion Treatment on Nose Air Flow Amount, Rate, and Resistance.

Maxillary movements performed during orthognathic surgery affect the external and internal anatomy of the nose. The functional and anatomical effects may change nasal airway parameters after the surgery, and these alterations can be examined objectively by rhinomanometry. In this study, patients who underwent maxillary orthognathic surgery were divided into 3 groups based on their surgical plans: advancement (group 1), impaction and advancement (group 2), and setdown and advancement (group 3).

Investigation of the Relationship of Functional Improvement and Body Mass Index in Breast Reduction Patients.

Introduction: Due to macromastia, center of gravity changes and neck, shoulder, back pain become prominent. Macromastia and obesity separately cause pain and an increase in curves of vertebra. The aim of this study is to compare the functional benefits of reduction mammoplasty between obese and non-obese patients.

Integrating artificial intelligence in orthognathic surgery: A case study of ChatGPT's role in enhancing physician-patient consultations for dentofacial deformities.

Orthognathic surgery, a multidisciplinary treatment for dentofacial deformities, presents complex preoperative preparations and follow-up procedures. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ChatGPT-4, an artificial intelligence-based language model, as a supportive tool during patient consultations for orthognathic surgery. Nine critical questions that candidates for orthognathic surgery should ask during a consultation were identified and posed to ChatGPT-4.

Single and double injection paravertebral block comparison in reduction mammaplasty cases: a randomized controlled study.

Background: This study compares the analgesic effects and dermatomal blockade distributions of single and double injection bilateral thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) techniques in patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty.

Methods: After obtaining ethics committee approval, 60 patients scheduled for bilateral reduction mammaplasty were included in the study. Preoperatively, the patients received one of single (Group S: T3-T4) or double (Group D: T2-T3 & T4-T5) injection bilateral TPVBs using bupivacaine 0.

Evaluation of Shoulder Muscle Improvement in Patients Following Free Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Pedicle Flap Transfer.

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes, shoulder muscle strength, and donor site morbidity following the free latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle pedicle flap transfer. Patients with free LD muscle pedicle flap reconstructions and with asymptomatic shoulders (affected and contralateral side) were included. The follow-up duration was 12 months.
