Lateralization01:28

Lateralization

972
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.4K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

An Assay for Lateral Line Regeneration in Adult Zebrafish

13.1K
Because many zebrafish models of neurological and non-neurological diseases are studied in the adult fish rather than the embryo/larvae, we developed a quantitative lateral line regenerative assay that can be applied to adult zebrafish disease models. The assay involved resolution at the 1) neuromast and 2) individual hair cell...

Lateral Canthotomy and Inferior Cantholysis

24.5K
Source: James W Bonz, MD, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
Lateral canthotomy is a potentially eyesight-saving procedure when performed emergently for an orbital compartment syndrome. An orbital compartment syndrome results from a buildup of pressure behind the eye; as pressure mounts, both the optic nerve and its vascular supply are compressed, rapidly leading to nerve damage and blindness if the pressure is not quickly relieved.
The medial and lateral...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • The superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) is crucial for facial structure and aging.
  • Traditional SMAS flap techniques can carry risks of nerve injury.
  • A need exists for versatile and safe SMAS manipulation in facelift procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the lateral SMASectomy technique in facelift surgery.
  • To compare the aesthetic outcomes and risks of lateral SMASectomy with traditional SMAS flap methods.

Main Methods:

  • The study focuses on the lateral SMASectomy technique, involving resection of a specific SMAS portion.
  • The technique targets the junction of mobile and fixed SMAS.
  • Adaptability to various facial characteristics by altering SMAS motion vector is analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Lateral SMASectomy is demonstrated as a safe, versatile, and reproducible facelift procedure.
  • It achieves powerful facial lifting with aesthetic results comparable to traditional SMAS flaps.
  • The technique minimizes the risks of nerve injury associated with SMAS flap procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Lateral SMASectomy is a viable and effective method for facial rejuvenation.
  • Its adaptability and safety profile make it a valuable tool in facelift surgery.
  • The technique has proven its efficacy and reliability over time.
