Background: Rhinoplasty and rhinoseptoplasty are very important and complex surgical procedures because the nose plays a pivotal aesthetic role in the face and an important functional role in breathing. Mild bulbous, plunging, undefined tips are very common, and tip refining and repositioning often are required surgical procedures.
Methods: For 97 selected patients, the authors performed their personal technique consisting of a transcartilaginous approach, incomplete vertical interruption, and retrograde undermining of the lower lateral cartilages to improve tip projection and definition. The five aspects analyzed were nasal tip symmetry, nostril symmetry, tip projection, tip definition, and appearance of the nasal tip only. Each parameter was assessed using pre- and postoperative quantification according to a visual analog scale. Postoperative evaluation was performed during a mean follow-up period of 1 year.
Results: The results at 1 year showed high rates of improvement in tip definition (mean, 7.9±2.4) and nasal tip only evaluation (mean, 6.5±3.1). The patients reported an improvement in nasal tip symmetry (mean, 4.2±3.2), nostril symmetry (mean, 4.5±4.1), and tip projection (mean, 5.8±2.9).
Conclusions: This simple, safe, and effective technique is proposed for mild bulbous, plunging, undefined, and hypoprojected tips.

Winter barley (Hordeum vulgare) production areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are severely threatened by barley yellow mosaic disease, which is caused by Barley yellow mosaic virus and Barley mild mosaic virus. Improving barley disease resistance in breeding programs requires knowledge of genetic loci in germplasm resources. In this study, bulked segregant analysis (BSA) identified a novel major quantitative trait loci (QTL) QRym.

Purpose: To describe vascular anomalies and nonperfusion areas (NPAs) of stage 4 familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) with radial retinal folds (RFs) and analyze their potential clinical significance.
Methods: Retinal detachment (RD) could exceed the RFs due to exudative, rhegmatogenous, or tractional factors, which we could call secondary RD. Fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) and risk factors for progression to secondary RD of pediatric stage 4 FEVR patients with radial RFs were respectively explored.
Natural course of the acute unruptured intracranial vertebral artery dissections which show pearl-and-string sign.

Introduction: Ruptured vertebral artery dissections frequently exhibit pearl-and-string signs, a characteristic also observed in many unruptured dissections. This study examines the natural course of 50 unruptured acute vertebral artery dissections presenting with pearl-and-string signs and compares them to 10 ruptured dissections of the same morphological pattern.
Methods: We reviewed 633 radiology reports of head and neck imaging studies that included the keyword 'dissection'.
An Automated Clubbed Fingers Detection System Based on YOLOv8 and U-Net: A Tool for Early Prediction of Lung and Cardiovascular Diseases.
Diagnostics (Basel)
October 2024
College of Medicine, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung 402202, Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- - Lung and cardiovascular diseases are major causes of death, but early detection is difficult because symptoms are often subtle, with digital clubbing (enlarged fingertips) being an early warning sign.
- - The study presents an automated system that uses deep-learning models (YOLOv8 for detection and U-Net for segmentation) and an ESP32-CAM to analyze finger images in real-time, categorizing the severity of digital clubbing based on a custom algorithm.
- - The system showed impressive accuracy (98.34%) and fast image processing (0.15 seconds per image), making it a viable solution for early detection of diseases, applicable in both clinical settings and at home.
Floating-Harbor Syndrome: A Systematic Literature Review and Case Report.
J Clin Med
June 2024
Department of Dentofacial Orthopaedics and Orthodontics, Division of Facial Abnormalities, Medical University of Wroclaw, 50-425 Wroclaw, Poland.
Floating-Harbor syndrome (FHS) is an extremely rare genetic disorder connected with a distinctive facial appearance, various skeletal malformations, delayed bone age, and expressive language delays. It is caused by heterozygous mutations in the Snf2-related CREBBP activator protein (SRCAP) gene. The aim of this paper is to describe the case of a 14-year-old male with FHS, referring to a review of the literature, and to collect all reported symptoms.
