Statistical shape analysis, a relatively a new method for biological research, compares body forms by using specific landmarks determined by anatomical prominences. In this study, we aimed to identify normal facial asymmetry between the right and the left sides of the face. Facial landmark data were collected from two-dimensional digital images of 321 young healthy subjects (150 males and 171 females). These data were analysed using Euclidean distance matrix analysis. The number of significantly asymmetric linear distances between the two halves of the face was greater in females than in males. We found that the left side of the face was most commonly dominant in both males and females. Such data may be useful in establishing a database for future similar studies.
AMAÇBu çalışmada, zon-II fleksör tendon onarımlarından sonra, iki haftalık süre içerisinde enjekte edilen 3 doz hyaluronik asit (HA) enjeksiyonunun plaseboya (salin) karşı etkinliği araştırıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMÇalışmaya İkinci parmak izole zon-II fleksör tendon hasarlanması olan 22 hasta dahil edildi. Tenorafi öncesi, parmaklar randomize olarak iki gruba ayrıldı; 11 parmakta tenorafi çevresine 3 doz HA enjekte edilirken, aynı şekilde salin enjekte edilen 11 parmak da plasebo grubunu oluşturdu. Birinci doz tenorafi sırasında verildi ve ilave 2 doz 1 hafta ara ile enjekte edildi. Operasyon sonrası Kleinert rehabilitasyon protokolü uygulandı. Eklem hareket açıklığı, 3. hafta, 3. ay ve uzun dönemde total aktif ve pasif eklem açıklığı ölçüle-rek değerlendirildi. Fonksiyonel sonuç, Strickland sınıflan-dırmasına göre belirlendi. BULGULARÜçüncü haftada eklem hareket açıklığı açısından iki grup arasında bir fark tespit edilmedi. Ancak, 3. ay ve uzun dö-nemde, eklem hareket açıklığında, HA enjekte edilen parmaklarda plasebo grubuna göre anlamlı derecede iyileşme olduğu gözlendi. SONUÇBu plasebo kontrollü ön çalışmada, mükerrer HA enjeksiyonlarının, primer tendon onarımında, muhtemelen adezyon azaltıcı etkisine bağlı olarak, klinik sonuçları iyileşti-rebildiği ileri sürülmektedir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Adezyon önleme; hyaluronik asit; tendon adezyonları; tendon onarımı.
Being aware of the morphologic differences in the nasal anatomy between men and women during the cosmetic rhinoplasty is essential because feminization of a male nose is not a very rare complication. Although there is no difference in the techniques of male and female rhinoplasty, the anthropometric differences have to be considered. This morphometric study evaluated the nasal shapes in both sexes and the related differences in the nostril forms. The nostril forms were separated into 4 main groups such as teardrop, heart shaped, round, and triangular. In this landmark-based morphometric study, significant relations of nostril forms to the nasal shape, frontonasal, and nasolabial angles were found. The results of this study should make us think about these relations of nostril forms to the nasal shapes and should be a basement for further clinical studies enhancing the plans of the corrective surgery.

There are several anthropometric studies regarding the nose, however none of them involves data about a statistical shape analysis. In this study, a landmark-based geometric morphometric technique was used to analyze the nasal shapes in a young Turkish adult population.A population of 75 female and 75 male volunteer Turkish young adults whose ages ranged 18-39 years (24.82 +/- 5.64 year) was examined. The stratified sampling method was used to determine the subjects according to the seven main geographic regions of Turkey. All data was obtained from standardized digital photographic images taken from anterior, lateral and inferior aspects by using standard anthropometric measurement methods. Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis (EDMA) is used to calculate all possible linear distances among landmarks by creating matrixes for each subject.Today, the anthropometric methods and surgical practice intersected at a point to treat the congenital or post-traumatic facial disfigurements in various racial or ethnic groups. Rhinoplasty surgeons require access to facial databases based on accurate anthropometric measurements to perform optimum correction in both sexes. There should be some points brought to mind during the cosmetic nasal surgery for men because of different expectations, which is not technically different from the one for women. This study is a way to clarify these important points and a basis for further clinical studies enhancing the plans of the corrective surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
