Article Abstract

The relationship between vertical facial growth patterns and palatal morphology in Class I and Class II malocclusion cases is explored. An in vitro analysis of 24 subjects (12 in each group) showed that individuals with Class II malocclusion and high-angle growth displayed significantly greater mandibular plane angles, facial heights, palatal widths, and arch lengths compared to their Class I counterparts. Data shows that vertical growth tendencies have a marked influence on palatal dimensions. Visual data representation further confirmed the distinctive morphological differences between the groups. Thus, the need to account for vertical facial growth patterns in orthodontic diagnostics and treatment planning is reported.

Background: The treatment of mandibular angle fractures remains controversial, particularly regarding the method of fixation. The primary aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes following treatment with 1-plate versus 2-plate fixation across two oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics. The secondary aim was to evaluate associations between patient-, trauma-, and procedure-specific factors with postoperative complications and to identify high-risk patients for secondary osteosynthesis.

Distinctive polymer brushes (PBs) play a crucial role in providing a nonpreferential (neutral) surface for vertical orientation of block copolymers (BCPs). This bottom-up approach effectively aligns the formation of vertical lamellar and cylinder lattice structures from the BCP, which is crucial for nanopatterning and other applications. In conventional BCP self-assembly techniques, random copolymer brushes are commonly employed to achieve substrate neutrality.

Gender discrimination in the emergency services: Female paramedic experiences in South Africa.

Afr J Prim Health Care Fam Med

September 2025

Department of Emergency Medical Care, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg.

Background:  Gender discrimination (GD), particularly that against women, remains a challenge in the workplace and paramedicine is no exception. Discrimination against women persists despite, in many cases, their being more qualified than their male counterparts.

Aim:  The aim of this study was to explore GD in paramedicine using the perceptions and experiences of South African female emergency care practitioners (ECPs).

September 2025

Department of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Normal University, C No. 61 Jiefang West Road, Changsha, 410005, Hunan Province, People's Republic of China.

Objective: Exploring the clinical effects of the method using elevating the suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) and suturing it with the orbital septum and orbital fat as a whole for fixation to correct lower eyelid bags and tear trough deformities.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of patients who underwent transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. The method involved elevating the suborbicularis oculi fat and suturing it with the orbital septum and orbital fat as a whole for fixation to correct lower eyelid bags and tear trough deformities, and follow-up to evaluate the correction of eyelid bags, tear troughs, and mid-face ptosis, as well as patient satisfaction.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) reshapes masculine facial attributes to align with feminine norms, yet normative anthropometric data for Asian populations remain sparse. We therefore quantified sex-related 3-dimensional (3D) facial metrics in healthy Asian adults to delineate dimorphic benchmarks for surgical planning. We prospectively recruited 40 healthy Asian adults (20 males, 20 females; age 18 to 45 years, mean 28.
