AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes two CT methods to examine changes in the nasal valve related to ventilation issues in patients with cleft lip and nose.
- Significant differences in nasal valve measurements were found between the cleft and non-cleft sides, with strong correlations to nasal obstruction scores (NOSE) and septal deviation.
- The research suggests that standardized 3D CT reconstruction is an effective tool for pre-surgical assessment of nasal repairs in these patients.
Article Abstract
Objective(s): It was the first study to apply and compare two CT methods to assess the validity and clinical significance of structural alterations of the nasal valve in patients with cleft lip nose for assessing nasal ventilation disturbance.
Methods: The study collected data from the NOSE score, as well as internal nasal valve area, internal nasal valve angle, external nasal valve area, and septal deviation angle, to evaluate the differences and correlations between those factors in patients with cleft lip and nose.
Results: There were significant differences among INV transverse and coronal area and INV angle on different axial standardized planes between clefted side and non-clefted side. There were statistically significant negative correlations between NOSE scores and those indicators of standard plane and acoustic-axis standardized coronal plane. NOSE score and NSD angle were the indicators of significant differences in the measured data of different complications groups (p = 0.002, p = 0.017). The correlation comparison showed that two standardized CT imaging transverse planes have similar correlations in NOSE score, NSD angle, and complications.
Conclusion: The results of the two CT evaluation methods showed that there was a significant difference in nasal valve area on the cleft and non-cleft sides, which was significantly associated with nasal ventilation disturbance. The CT evaluation method based on standard axial 3D reconstruction is more convenient to use in the clinic, can be used for pre-surgical evaluation of nasal repair in patients with secondary nasal deformities of unilateral cleft lip, and is valuable for treatment.

Background: The 3xTg-AD transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an important tool to investigate the relationship between development of pathological amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau, neuroinflammation, and cognitive impairments. Traditional behavioral tasks assessing aspects of learning and memory, such as mazes requiring spatial navigation, unfortunately suffer from several shortcomings, including the stress of human handling and not probing species-typical behavior. The automated IntelliCage system was developed to circumvent such issues by testing mice in a social environment while measuring multiple aspects of cognition.

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema after cardiac surgery is a rare but severe complication. The etiology remains poorly understood; however, the issue may arise from multiple sources. Possible causes include a significant inflammatory response or an autoimmune process.

Background: Growing evidence suggests that for rodents, a substantial fraction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drains by crossing the cribriform plate into the nasopharyngeal lymphatics, eventually reaching the cervical lymphatic vessels (CLVs). Disruption of this drainage pathway is associated with various neurological disorders.
Methods: We employ a lumped parameter method to numerically model CSF drainage across the cribriform plate to CLVs.

Background: Alar nostril ring correction in patients with multiple prior surgeries is one of the most challenging procedures in reconstructive rhinoplasty. Assessing patient satisfaction and the technique's failure rate is essential in evaluating its effectiveness.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of alar nostril ring correction using auricular composite grafts (ACGs) in patients with severe post-rhinoplasty deformities from multiple previous surgeries.
