Lift01:23

Lift

495
Lift is a fundamental aerodynamic force that acts perpendicular to the direction of airflow. It plays a central role in achieving and sustaining flight and in stabilizing various vehicles. Lift primarily originates from pressure differences created across surfaces, such as an airfoil. A lower pressure region forms above the wing, while a higher pressure region forms below it, generating an upward force. This differential results from the shape and orientation of the airfoil, enabling the wing...

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

59.5K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.

Convergent Evolution01:54

Convergent Evolution

31.7K
Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Enthalpy02:59

Enthalpy

47.9K
Chemists ordinarily use a property known as enthalpy (H) to describe the thermodynamics of chemical and physical processes. Enthalpy is defined as the sum of a system’s internal energy (E) and the mathematical product of its pressure (P) and volume (V):

What is Energy?

58.7K
The universe is composed of matter in different forms, and all forms of matter contain energy.  The different forms of energy on Earth originate from the Sun — the ultimate energy source. Plants capture light energy from the Sun, and, via the process of photosynthesis, convert it into chemical energy. This stored energy from plants can be harnessed in many ways. For example, eating plant products as food provides energy for our body to function, and burning wood or coal (fossilized...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetics
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • The male upper lip is characterized by a greater cutaneous height compared to the female upper lip.
  • This difference contributes to facial aesthetic variations between sexes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the subnasal indirect lip lift, utilizing the bullhorn technique, in feminizing the lower face.
  • To achieve a more aesthetically pleasing upper lip by increasing vermilion height and lip pout.

Main Methods:

  • The bullhorn technique or its modifications were employed for subnasal indirect lip lift.
  • Critical patient selection criteria included lip height, vermilion height, alar base width, skin type, upper incisal show, and maxillary height.
  • Precise measurements, controlled tissue excision, and meticulous skin reapproximation were performed.

Main Results:

  • The procedure effectively shortens the cutaneous upper lip height.
  • Increased vermilion height and lip pout were observed, contributing to facial feminization.
  • Aesthetic improvements in the upper lip were achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The subnasal indirect lip lift is an effective procedure for feminizing the lower face and enhancing upper lip aesthetics.
  • Meticulous surgical technique and careful patient selection are crucial for achieving desirable outcomes and minimizing visible scarring.
