Two-Year Progressive Cranial Changes Following the Melbourne Technique for Sagittal Craniosynostosis. LM Harrison, K Prezelski, RR Hallac, AA Kane, P Sanati-Mehrizy.

3dMDhead images were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Head circumference, cephalic index, scaphocephalic index (SCI), frontal bossing index (FBI), occipital bullet index (OBI), and vertex narrowing index (VNI) were measured automatically using the 3dMDvultus Craniometrics Calculator.

Photogrammetry is a useful tool to assess the aesthetic outcome after excision of skin tumors of the nose and reconstruction. AA Caretto, G Tarantino, C Grippaudo, E Candida, L Tagliaferri, K Peris, M Servillo, R Fortunato, R Bracaglia, S Gentileschi.

We enrolled 33 patients, comprising 24 men and 9 women, who were affected by cutaneous neoplasm on the nose and underwent excision followed by reconstruction with a flap. For each patient, we performed facial scans before and after surgery.

SHAPE: A visual computing pipeline for interactive landmarking of 3D photograms and patient reporting for assessing craniosynostosis. C Görg, C Elkhill, J Chaij, K Royalty, PD Nguyen, B French, AC Guerrero, AR Porras.

SHAPE reads in a patient’s 3D photogram, automatically places a set of craniofacial landmarks, allows for their manual confirmation and correction, and automatically computes both a series of standard clinical craniofacial measurements and machine learning-based metrics of head development prior to building an analysis report for upload to the patient’s electronic medical record.

Efficacy of a Combination Treatment of Ablative Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Therapy and Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor for Atrophic Acne Scars. H Peng, X Ran, X Yang, G Zhou, X Lin, L Shen, X Wu.

Compared to the sole use of laser, the combination of fractional carbon dioxide laser and rhEGF does not significantly enhance scar therapeutic effects. However, it does shorten the recovery period after laser treatment and improves the pore appearance.

Functional therapy and adenotonsillectomy clinical trial for class II malocclusion (FACT-II): protocol for a randomised controlled trial. F Guo, C Lv, B Tang, L Lin, C Zhang, J Zheng, T Zhao, H He.

In summary, this study will serve as evidence to guide clinicians in deciding whether to perform the T&A on patients prior to functional therapy based on a wide range of objectively and subjectively measured outcomes and provide a reference for multidisciplinary management of OSA with craniofacial alterations in growing children.
