Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the influence of functional tension nose in nasal obstruction and to discuss its frequency and management.
Methods: Over the years 2000-2006, 153 patients underwent revision operation for nasal obstruction in our rhinoplastic center. Twenty-two of them (14.37%) suffered from functional tension nose. All 22 patients refused rhinoplasty during primary septoplasty. Sixteen of them had a kyphotic nose and the rest six cases suffered from hanging columella (drooped nose). Eighteen of them underwent primary rhinoplasty in combination with caudal diminution under general anesthesia. The other four patients refused rhinoplasty, and under local anesthesia their tip was deprojected and reprojected.
Results: Marked improvement in nasal airflow was noted at the most recent follow-up evaluation in 20 patients out of 22 (90.91%). The mean length of follow-up was 8 months (ranging from 4 to 12 months). All follow-up results were based on office examination and pre- and post-operative computer-assisted rhinomanometry evaluation. In only two cases results were not efficient enough.
Conclusion: Our study strongly suggests that tension nose is a usual misdiagnosed cause of nasal obstruction. This problem is concealed under a "kyphotic", "big", or "pinocchio" nose. Usually the functional defect is spontaneously corrected during conventional rhinoplasty. However, tip should be deprojected and reprojected in cases where the patient refuses cosmetic intervention and surgeon tries to resolve his functional problem.

Article Synopsis
- Molecular dynamics is crucial for studying tensile stress in nanomaterials, but many studies lack detailed information on thermostat and barostat damping parameters.
- The paper demonstrates how the integration of barostat affects system dynamics during uniaxial tests using the Nosé-Hoover scheme by examining three different material systems: 2D graphene, 3D continuous aluminum, and 3D discontinuous polyvinyl alcohol.
- High barostat damping parameters in isobaric-isothermal (NPT) simulations show a close correlation with isochoric-isothermal (NVT) methods, indicating that small changes in damping parameters can significantly impact stress responses, particularly increasing triaxial strain levels.

Introduction And Importance: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer, tightly connected to ultraviolet exposure, and typically occurs on sun-exposed areas, including the nose. Reconstructing defects in the nasal tip following the removal of basal cell carcinoma lesions presents significant challenges, requiring a balance between completely removing the cancerous cells and achieving an optimal aesthetic result, especially since this area is central to the face.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 62-year-old male patient with a 2 × 3 cm tumor located at the nasal tip, initially diagnosed as a benign vascular tumor based on clinical examination and imaging results.
Assessment of Nasal Breathing Function and Tip Definition after the Implementation of the Cephalic Lateral Crural Advancement Flap Technique.

Cephalic trimming of the lower lateral cartilage (LLC) can result in the collapse of the internal and external nasal valves, pinched nose, and alar retraction. The cephalic lateral crural advancement flap (CLCAF) technique is introduced as a method to prevent these complications by avoiding grafts in the LLC. A retrospective study was conducted on 126 open-approach rhinoplasties (82 female and 44 male) employing the CLCAF technique between January 2021 and March 2022.

For most cystic craniopharyngiomas, intracapsular debulking is a good strategy to get a large operation space and protect vital structures. However, this surgical strategy may lead to the residual and recurrence of the tumor capsule wall. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new surgical strategy without residual capsule walls for the removal of cystic craniopharyngiomas.
