Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation of the orbital volume and the correlation with the magnitude of craniofacial advances as well as demonstrate its effectiveness through comparisons with normal levels of orbital volumes.
Introduction: Syndromic craniofacial synostosis is characterized by cranial morphological alterations and hypoplasia of the midface that may result in obstructive sleep apnea and exorbitism; these effects are indications of surgical treatment. The gradual advancement of tissues is the surgical treatment to correct accentuated exorbitisms and jaw retrusions.
Methods: This was a retrospective study by review of medical records and tomographic examinations of 20 patients submitted to distraction osteogenesis between 2001 and 2012, who were divided into 2 groups: groups MB and LF with 11 and 9 patients, who underwent frontofacial or Le Fort III osteotomy. The orbit volume was measured with the InVesalius and Magics software, and facial advancements with Rhinoceros software. Statistical analyses were conducted using Student t test and analysis of variance.
Results: Patients' ages ranged from 6 to 29 years. Group MB showed an increase of 8.94 and 9.84 mm(3) in the right and left orbit volume variation, whereas group LF presented 5.70 and 5.77 mm(3). The average advancements in the right and left orbits were 11.36 ± 3.80 and 11.11 ± 3.45 mm in group LF, respectively, and 14.22 ± 4.12 and 14.48 ± 4.49 mm in group MB.
Conclusions: Exorbitism was satisfactorily treated. The correlation was proportional in group LF and group MB. There was normalization of orbital volume compared with normal levels of orbital volumes.

In this study, we investigate the application of support vector machines utilizing a radial basis function kernel for predicting nuclear α-decay half-lives. Our approach integrates a comprehensive set of physics-derived features, including characteristics derived from nuclear structure, to systematically evaluate their impact on predictive accuracy. In addition to traditional parameters such as proton and neutron numbers, as well as terms based on the liquid drop model (e.

With reduced dimensionality and a high surface area-to-volume ratio, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors exhibit intriguing electronic properties that are exceptionally sensitive to surrounding environments, including directly interfacing gate dielectrics. These influences are tightly correlated to their inherent behavior, making it critical to examine when extrinsic charge carriers are intentionally introduced to the channel for complementary functionality. This study explores the physical origin of the competitive transition between intrinsic and extrinsic charge carrier conduction in extrinsically -doped MoS, highlighting the central role of interactions of the channel with amorphous gate dielectrics.

Purpose: Teprotumumab, a novel human monoclonal antibody, has been shown to reverse the clinical manifestations of thyroid eye disease. Previous reports have suggested that it demonstrates disease-modifying properties through the reduction of orbital fat and muscle volumes. This study aims to analyze orbital volumetric change following treatment and to identify clinical and radiological predictors of response.
