Peroperative Cooling in Rhinoplasty: Does it Differ?

The main causes of ecchymosis and edema are osteotomy (bone manipulation), dissection of subcutaneous tissue, and skin manipulation in the rhinoplasty procedure. Eyelid edema following surgery can potentially affect visual acuity, particularly during the initial twenty-four hours after the procedure. These may also delay the patient's return to their normal social life therefore hampering their quality of life.

Effect of Dorsal Preservation Techniques on Septum Strength: An Experimental Animal Study.

This experimental animal model study investigates the impact of different methods employed in preservation rhinoplasty (PR) on the strength of the nasal roof, focusing on three techniques: high strip, low strip, and intermediate strip. Using 15 lamb heads as surgical models, the study addresses key questions related to the strengths of each PR techniques, the influence of septal cartilage harvesting on septum strength, and the effectiveness of spreader grafts for stability. The research involves detailed dissection steps and measurements at various nasal points, evaluating the resistance at each stage.

Microbiota present in combined endodontic-periodontal diseases and its risks for endocarditis.

Introduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is an inflammatory disease usually caused by bacteria that enter the bloodstream and establish infections in the inner linings or valves of the heart, including blood vessels. Despite the availability of modern antimicrobial and surgical treatments, IE continues to cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Oral microbiota is considered one of the most significant risk factors for IE.

An Overview of Rhinoplasty Practices: European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, Collaborative Cross-Sectional Study.

This collaborative European Academy of Plastic Surgery (EAFPS) study aimed to provide an overview of rhinoplasty practices, informing clinician and patient decision making. It is a multicenter cross-sectional study, reported as per Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. All EAFPS members were contacted via email, inviting them to participate.

Paramedian Forehead Flap in Large Nasal Skin Defects: Twenty-years' Experience.

Objective: Skin cancers occur most commonly in the head and neck region where the nose is the most commonly affected unit. The nose is the part of the face that is most exposed to trauma, sunlight, and other environmental factors. From the aesthetic and functional point of view, reconstruction of the defects occurring after skin cancer removal creates a great challenge for the surgeon.
