Background: To correct nasal tip cephalic rotation, SEG made of cartilage or Medpor are often used in rhinoplasty. These techniques require extensive experience for the surgeon, and not all patients can accept this procedure. In this research, we introduce a new method to correct nasal tip cephalic rotation that is relatively simple and rapid.
Methods: Fifty-nine patients who had rhinoplasty using our scaffold were enrolled in the study between January 2020 and January 2021. The authors evaluated the change of nasolabial angel by photogrammetry using standardized clinical photogrammetric techniques. Patients' satisfaction regarding postoperative results was also surveyed.
Results: The mean postoperative follow-up duration was 12 months. No complication (infection, extrusion, and displacement) was happened in all patients. Analysis showed our scaffold can correct nasal tip cephalic rotation effectively (98.61±1.21 preoperatively and 89.68±0.99 postoperatively, P<0.0001). And the patient satisfaction rate is 98%.
Conclusion: We constructed an integrated scaffold by simply folding and suturing a high-density polyethylene sheet (Su-Por) sheet to correct nasal tip cephalic rotation. Using the scaffold we designed, we did not need to alter the structure of the nasal septum, which reduced the operative duration and simplified the surgical procedure.

Routine 36-week scan: diagnosis and outcome of abnormal fetal presentation.

Fetal Medicine Research Institute, King's College Hospital, London, UK.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the frequency of non-cephalic presentations seen in routine 36-week ultrasound scans, the effectiveness of external cephalic version (ECV), and cases of spontaneous rotation from non-cephalic to cephalic positions.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from over 107,000 women with singleton pregnancies to explore the influence of various maternal and pregnancy factors on non-cephalic presentations and ECV success.
- Results showed that 5.8% of pregnancies had a non-cephalic presentation at the scan, with a small continuous rate of spontaneous rotation, and ECV was attempted in about 25.5% of these non-cephalic cases.
Fluid-structure interaction in a follow-up study of arterio-venous fistula maturation.
Sci Rep

School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- - Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the ideal vascular access for patients undergoing hemodialysis, created by surgically connecting an artery and vein, but research indicates that many do not function beyond a year.
- - This study utilized fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling to analyze non-Newtonian blood flow in a specific type of AVF over a 15-week and 1.5-year period, assessing both hemodynamic changes and wall alterations through ultrasound.
- - Key findings included the presence of counter-rotating vortices affecting pressure, different patterns of blood flow characteristics over time, minimal low-wall shear stress in healthy AVFs, and shifts in areas of maximum wall deformation as time

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the biomechanical differences of three cranial fixation methods in patients with basilar invagination-atlantoaxial dislocation (BI-AAD) complicated by atlas occipitalization (AOZ).
- It presents findings from finite element analysis on a specific patient, comparing C1-C2 fixation, occipitocervical fixation, and an occipital plate fixation regarding range of motion and peak stress.
- Results indicate that C1 lateral mass screws offer reduced movement in lateral bending and axial rotation but come with higher stress, while the occipital plate group shows the most movement and lowest stress.

Background: In rhinoplasty, it is very important to adjust the rotation and projection of the tip together harmoniously with the nasal dorsum and face to achieve pleasing results.
Objective: In this study, our aim is to describe a new modification of the vertical alar resection technique that can effectively regulate nasal tip projection and rotation.
Materials And Methods: Versatile vertical alar resection (V-VAR) technique was applied to 14 primary and 9 revision rhinoplasty cases with highly projected nasal tip.
