Accuracy of mandibular reconstruction by three-dimensional guided vascularised fibular free flap after segmental mandibulectomy: Mandibular reconstruction with a fibular free flap has become standard in specialised centres for head and neck reconstruction, particularly for defects with more than one osteotomy that are challenging even for experienced surgeons. Virtual surgical planning is a potential tool to facilitate harvesting of the fibula and the osteostomy. The purpose of this study was to compare the two methods of mandibular reconstruction - conventionally planned (conventio...περισσότερα »

The Use of Piezosurgery in Genioplasty.: The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative complications during genioplasty using piezosurgery devices or traditional rotating drills. Forty patients underwent genioplasty to solve their chin anomalies. This study showed that, using piezosurgery, pain and swelling were reduced compared to the traditional technique in the immediate postoperative period of healing (within 15 days). Paresthesia was observed in all patients up to 15th postoperative day, independently of the used surgical technique, but at the sixth postoperative month...περισσότερα »

Anteriorly Based Galeo-Pericranial Frontalis Flap: A Novel Application in Secondary Rhinoplasty With Atrophic Skin.: Background: Nasomaxillary dysplasia (Binder syndrome) and cleft are congenital malformations of the midface. Ideally, the nasal deformity is treated from childhood. This approach leads to the need for several surgeries and revisions until full growth is reached. As a result of multiples procedures, the skin over the nasal dorsum sometimes becomes thin, atrophic and could be strongly attached to underlying grafts. For this setting of patients when another rhinoplasty i...περισσότερα »

Navigation-Assisted Bone Grafting for Blowout Fracture.: Background: Treatment of orbital floor fracture accompanied by extensive bone defect requires orbital floor reconstruction using a bone graft, but graft may deviate into the maxillary sinus when no bone capable of supporting the graft remains around the defect. In such cases, it is necessary to fix the grafted bone to the orbital margin, but the grafted bone placement site is subjectively decided based on inspection through a small incision in many cases, being dependent on the experience of operators, and it has been difficul...περισσότερα »

Time-Resolved 4-Dimensional Computed-Tomography Angiography Can Correctly Identify Carotid Pseudo-Occlusion

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοΝευρολογία κ' ΝευροχειρουργικήΠριν από 17 δευτερόλεπτα
Correct identification of symptomatic high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis from low-grade or total chronic occlusion is critical for patient selection for urgent carotid endarterectomy. Carotid pseudo-occlusion is a flow-related artifact on noninvasive imaging that can lead to an incorrect diagnosis of total internal carotid artery occlusion, thereby denying an eligible patient for appropriate surgical treatment. We present an 82-year-old man with a symptomatic critical internal carotid artery, which was detected on time-resolved 4-dimensional computed-tomography angiograph...περισσότερα »

Epidemic of Zika virus and maxillofacial surgery: Zika is a RNA virus spread by the ubiquitous Aedes mosquitoes. It was first discovered in Uganda in 1947, and arrived in south-east Asia by the middle of the 20th century. In 2014 the virus started to spread across the Pacific Islands to reach South America. Since then it has spread rapidly northwards, and reached Mexico and the Caribbean in November 2015. Clinically it presents as a self-limiting febrile illness. However, there is increasing evidence of a link between Zika virus and the Guillain-Barré syndrome, and maternal Zika vir...περισσότερα »

Detection of eustachian tube openings by tubomanometry in adult otitis media with effusion: AbstractOtitis media with effusion (OME) is a common disease and eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is widely known to be related to the incidence of OME; however, objective evaluation tools for ET function are lacking. To evaluate ET openings by tubomanometry (TMM) in adult patients with otitis media with effusion (OME), the ET patency of 123 ears, including 63 ears of OME patients and 60 control ears, were tested using TMM and tympanometry. ET patency was evaluated by the R value and ET scor...περισσότερα »

Diagnostic and prognostic value of procalcitonin levels in patients with Bell’s palsy: AbstractInflammation is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Bell’s palsy (BP). Procalcitonin (PCT) is currently among the most frequently used proinflammatory biomarkers in clinical practice. In this study, we assessed the serum PCT levels for predicting the severity and prognosis of BP. In total, 32 patients with House–Brackmann (HB) grade II and III BP (low-grade group), 22 patients with HB grade IV and V (high-grade group) and 35 healthy individuals (control group) were in...περισσότερα »

The Role of Acupuncture in Pain Management: AbstractAcupuncture is a traditional Chinese practice of medicine that has gained popularity in Western culture and around the world. It involves the insertion of thin needles into the skin to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues throughout the body with the goal of alleviating pain, tension, and stress. More broadly, acupuncture is actually a family of different procedures. Conceptually, it is believed to stimulate the body’s meridians, or energy-carrying channels, in an attempt to correct imbalances and to restore health. T...περισσότερα »

Pain in the Elderly: AbstractPain management in the elderly has increasingly become problematic in the USA as the aged population grows. The proportion of the population over 65 continues to climb and may eclipse 20 % in the next decade. In order to effectively diagnosis and treat these patients, a proper history and physical exam remain essential; pain assessment scales such as the Verbal Descriptor Scales (VDS), the Numerical Rating Scales (NRS), and the Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) often but not always prove beneficial. The conditions most frequently afflicting this population i...περισσότερα »

Genetic Characterization of a Novel Mutant of Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus Isolated from Capra ibex in China during 2015

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοΒιοΜηχανικήΠριν από 1 ώρα
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is the causative agent of peste des petits ruminants (PPR). The spread of PPR often causes severe economic losses. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the surveillance of PPR emergence, spread, and geographic distribution. Here we describe a novel mutant of PPRV China/XJBZ/2015 that was isolated from Capra ibex in Xinjiang province in China 2015. The sequence analysis and phylogenetic assessment indicate that China/XJBZ/2015 belongs to lineage IV, being closely related to China/XJYL/2013 strain. Interestingly, the V protein sequen...περισσότερα »

Measure prediction capability of data for collaborative filtering

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοΒιοΜηχανικήΠριν από 1 ώρα
Abstract Collaborative filtering (CF) approaches have been widely been employed in e-commerce to help users find items they like. Whereas most of existing work focuses on improving algorithmic performance, it is important to know whether the recommendation for users and items can be trustworthy. In this paper, we propose a metric, "relatedness," to measure the potential that a user's preference on an item can be accurately predicted. The relatedness of a user–item pair is determined by a community which consists of users and items most related to the pair. The relatedness is comput...περισσότερα »
