Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love

Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love

We typically love the people with whom we form relationships, but the type of love we have for our family, friends, and lovers differs. Robert Sternberg (1986) proposed that there are three components of love: intimacy, passion, and commitment. These three components form a triangle that defines multiple types of love: this is known as Sternberg’s triangular theory of love. Intimacy is the sharing of details and intimate thoughts and emotions. Passion is the physical attraction—the...

Rectangular and Triangular Pulse Function

Rectangular and Triangular Pulse Function

The unit rectangular pulse function is mathematically represented by a rectangular function centered at the origin with a height of one unit. This function is defined by two parameters: T, which specifies the center location of the pulse along the time axis, and τ, which determines the pulse duration.
For example, consider a rectangular pulse with a 5V amplitude, a 3-second duration, and centered at t=2 seconds. This pulse can be expressed using the rectangular function, written as,

Base Excision Repair

Base Excision Repair

One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

DNA Distortion and Damage
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Otolaryngology
Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

Prominent ears negatively impact psychosocial well-being.
Existing surgical correction techniques often have high complication and recurrence rates.
A stitchless technique is presented to minimize these issues.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a stitchless double triangular cartilage excision otoplasty.
To assess complication and recurrence rates associated with this novel technique.
To analyze patient-reported outcomes following the procedure.

Main Methods:

Prospective study of patients undergoing bilateral double triangular cartilage excision otoplasty.
A stitchless technique based on cartilage excision for mechanical ear collapse.
Complications classified by Clavien-Dindo; patient outcomes assessed via questionnaires and clinical follow-up.

Main Results:

Sixty patients (120 ears) were studied with an overall complication rate of 6%.
Minor complications included superficial cutaneous necrosis (2.5%) and need for revision (1%).
No wound infections, hematomas, or hypertrophic scars were observed; patient satisfaction was high.

Conclusions:

Double triangular cartilage excision otoplasty is a safe procedure with low complication and recurrence rates.
The stitchless technique offers a viable alternative to traditional otoplasty methods.
This approach should be considered by surgeons for prominent ear correction.
