Filter by:The goal of this study is to specifically examine changes in facial skin appearance after facial fat grafting with autologous fat tissue that has either been washed with sterile saline before injecting, or left unwashed. This will be testing two variations of a standard of care surgical procedure, in two cohorts of subjects. One group will receive washed fat, and one group will receive unwashed fat, to both sides of the face. There are no experimental devices, drugs, or biological agents being used in this study. All fat tissue is autologous from the subjects treated. Significance: This study will provide evidence that may directly impact clinical practice for a common procedure in plastic surgery. Regardless of whether the null hypotheses is accepted or rejected, the data will be of direct clinical use and impact practice in the operating room.
Patients' subjective complaints about pain intensity are difficult to objectively evaluate, and may lead to inadequate pain management, especially in patients with communication difficulties.
Facial pores are visible openings of pilosebaceous follicles, it is one of the important factors that affect the appearance of facial skin. This study aims to evaluate and compare the Efficacy and safety of 1565 nm non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) and long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser (LPNY) in the treatment of enlarged facial pores.
Functional rehabilitation and quality of life after maxillofacial surgery have been emphasized in recent years. It depends mainly on outcomes of maxillofacial reconstruction and rehabilitation involving functions, esthetics, psychology acceptance and resocialization. Tooth loss, alveolar and maxillary bone resorption or changes of the hard palate cause facial asymmetry in patient with maxillofacial surgery. The facial soft tissue over the defect become recessed as a result of loss of lip and buccal support which lead to decrease the quality of life and psychological disorders. Prosthetic intervention with maxillary obturator prosthesis is necessary to restore the contours of the resected palate and to recreate the functional separation of the oral cavity and sinus and nasal cavities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of maxillary obturator on facial morphology in patient with unilateral maxillary defect by using 3 dimensional digital stereophotogrammetry compared to the intact side of the same patient
The global coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) has led to an increased need to wear protective equipment such as wearing face masks and practicing hygiene measures such as more frequent use of antiseptics. These measures can lead to changes in the skin, the development of new inflammatory skin diseases or exacerbation of existing ones, with health professionals especially under the risk of developing these changes. Changes in facial skin due to wearing masks have been observed in a number of studies, however, part of the study was based solely on subjects' self-assessment or clinical assessment, and only a small part on objective measurements of skin parameters. Also, the impact of prolonged masks' use have not been investigated. The aim of these study was to investigate the effects of constant, long-term use of protective masks on facial skin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate neurotomy as an alternative treatment to Botox injections for severe synkinesis following peripheral facial palsy
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on medical education is real but little known. ENT interns were directly affected by the management of Covid-19 patients (performing surgical tracheostomies), many conferences and trainings were cancelled, their usual hospital activity deeply reshuffled. Although each student has a personal story of the impact of Covid-19 on their training, there is no doubt that the effects of Covid-19 are felt at scale. This study aims to investigate the effect of the pandemic on the medical and surgical training of ENT and Cervico-Facial Surgery interns in France from November 2019 to May 2021 (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Grand Est, Ile de France, Nouvelle Aquitaine and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur areas). A questionnaire will be sent by mail to ENT interns in France to assess the impact of Covid-19 on the training of ENT interns in France.
assess electrophysiological changes in some facial muscle dynamics following hyaluronic acid filler injection in superficial versus deep level of injection.
A study of the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NNZ-2591 and measures of efficacy in children and adolescents with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome.
The study device, Sculptra, is an injectable implant formulation of poly-L-lactic acid microbeads, approved by the FDA for treatment of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy of HIV disease). It is being used off-label by dermatologists to treat dermal defects, as a biologically active filler. Anecdotal evidence suggests that subjects' skin quality may improve as a result of poly-L-lactic acid injection. While this is not the primary goal of such treatments it is often seen and described as so called "Sculptra glow". Based upon the study doctor's experience global skin quality improvement includes radiance, smoothness and pigment uniformity as well as a decrease in skin redness and pore size. In this study we evaluate the existence of histopathological (microscopic examination of tissue) evidence that can explain the observed improvement of skin quality after poly-L-lactic acid injections. Specifically, we will use histopathologic techniques to investigate effects of Sculptra injections into human skin with regard to restoring skin health and epidermal thickness.
