Background: Hump reduction with traditional ostectomy is an invasive procedure performed in aesthetic rhinoplasty. Natural and flawless nasal dorsum can be obtained with wedge ostectomy (WO) technique.
Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the nasal dorsum WO technique and examine its effectiveness in correcting nasal dorsum with absent and minor humps in patients undergoing aesthetic rhinoplasty.
Materials And Methods: Senior author performed 488 rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty operations from April 2009 to April 2021. After exclusion of major hump patients, the remaining 312 patients had a secondary evaluation for suitability for wedge ostectomy. After secondary examination, 87 patients, including 19 with absent humps (0 mm) and 68 with small humps (1-3 mm) were operated.
Results: Nasal bone hump reduction with WO has proven satisfactory results in majority of patients, minimal revision in done in five patients but no complications were occurred related to this method.
Conclusions: Nasal dorsum WO provides lesser invasive approach to bony hump reduction in selected patients, ensuring bone cortex continuity in nasal dorsum. It decreases possible dorsal nasal irregularities associated with conventional coronal plane ostectomies. At the same time, it provides a natural and anatomically accurate nasal dorsum.

Establish, through the determination of the glottic angle and area, a decision regarding safe and necessary interventions in bilateral vocal fold paralysis to maintain airway. From January 2008 to December 2023, we looked back at laryngoscopic photographs of subjects with bilateral vocal fold paralysis. The average vocal fold length for each gender was used to calculate the glottic areas and measure the corresponding glottic angles in a total of 26 cases.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for rapid and sensitive diagnostic tools. In this work, the Magnetophoretic Slider Assay (MeSA) was integrated with electrochemical detection (eMeSA) using screen-printed carbon electrodes for the first time for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP). A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed on streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads (MBs).

Many wingless arboreal arthropods can glide back to tree trunks following free falls. However, little is known about the behaviors and aerodynamics underlying such aerial performance, and how this may be influenced by body size. Here, we studied gliding performance by nymphs of the stick insect Extatosoma tiaratum, focusing on the dynamics of J-shaped trajectories and how gliding capability changes during ontogeny.

Article Synopsis
- A 40-year-old man with no prior health issues presented with a 5-day history of swelling behind his right ear, along with a previous episode of ear pain two months earlier.
- Examination and imaging revealed right otomastoiditis, which is an infection of the mastoid bone, along with serious complications like a bony defect and brain abscesses.
- After starting intravenous antibiotics and undergoing surgery to drain the abscess, he had a cortical mastoidectomy three weeks later and has had no further health complaints during regular follow-ups over the past six months.

This study successfully combined widely targeted lipidomic with a back propagation (BP) neural network optimized based on a particle swarm algorithm to identify the authenticity of Yanchi Tan lamb. An electronic nose and gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS) were used to explore the flavor differences in Tan lamb from various regions. Among the 17 identified volatile compounds, 16 showed significant regional differences ( < 0.
