Filter by:The appearance of facial wrinkles, lines, or folds is a natural phenomenon during aging. Different scales help classify wrinkles objectively, such as the Facial Wrinkle Scale. Others help classify patients' subjective perspectives, like the Face-Q questionnaire. The application of Botulinum Toxin is the most performed non-surgical aesthetic procedure in the world to treat facial expression lines. The present study aims to compare the efficacy of onabotulinum toxin-A (BOTOX®) and prabotulinum toxin-A (NABOTA®) to treat expression lines in the upper third of the face, based on objective and subjective follow-up, using the FWS scale and FACE-Q questionnaire, respectively.
To collect the number of injuries that affect the face and head in rink hockey athletes prospectively during a regular season.
Systemic sclerosis is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by microangiopathy, activation of the immune system, and sclerosis of tissues including the skin. Facial involvement is frequent and disabling. It causes significant functional and aesthetic discomfort, and a major deterioration in quality of life. It results in a loss of suppleness of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, peribuccal rhagades, microstomia, and dry mouth causing difficulties in mouth opening, feeding, dental care, and weight loss. Facial involvement in systemic sclerosis can be assessed using the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHISS) score, a validated patient questionnaire assessing the functional and aesthetic consequences of systemic sclerosis on the face. Although common and disabling, facial involvement is underestimated and poorly managed. Immunosuppressive and/or anti-fibrosis drugs are not very effective. Facial rehabilitation could significantly improve the mouth handicap but facial rehabilitation is not currently performed in standard care in systemic sclerosis patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a personalized rehabilitation program vs standard care in facial involvement of systemic sclerosis patients.
Cheeks appearance is a screening tool developed based on cheeks observation to identify volume, flaccidity or both to predict people with probable obstructive sleep apnea.

The study is a comparative study, to show that the administration of RSS stimulation on the face compared to the administration of strategy Sham stimulation, results in an temporary improvement in the tactile acuity of the hand in patients with tactile acuity impairment of the hand due to stroke.
Many clinical trials assessing the effectiveness of hypnosis have been conducted in recent years, some of which show that hypnosis reduces pain perception better than drug treatments administered to control groups, and that it is at least as effective as other complementary therapies (such as massage, acupuncture, yoga). However, their conclusions are limited by a significant risk of bias, and further studies with rigorous methodology remain necessary. The hypothesis of this study is that hypnosis support methods can reduce anxiety in patients requiring facial surgery under local anaesthesia, and thus improve their medical management. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnosis support on the patient's state of anxiety before and after outpatient surgery under local anaesthesia in the Maxillofacial Surgery Department.
Around ten percent of newborn infants require positive pressure ventilation (PPV) in the delivery room. This is most commonly delivered using a round or anatomically shaped face mask attached to a T-piece device, self-inflating bag or flow-inflating bag. Face mask ventilation is a challenging technique and difficult to ensure that an appropriate tidal volume is delivered because large and variable leaks occur between the mask and face. It is recommended by International Guidelines to start with mask ventilation by placing a fitting face mask on the babies face. A fitting face mask covers the mouth and nose. A non-fitting overlaps the eyes and the chin, which causes a airleak. Studies report variable leak, sometimes more than 50% of inspiratory volume, during PPV in preterm infants in the delivery room. The presence of a large leak may lead to ineffective ventilation and an unsuccessful resuscitation. A study performed in preterm infants showed that most masks available are too big for the majority of those infants. The investigators hypothesis is that the commonly available face masks for term infants are similarly too big for some term and late preterm infants (≥ 34 weeks gestation).
