Introduction Lip reconstruction aims at maintaining the function and aesthetics of the facial subunits. Sensation in the reconstructed lip helps in bolus formation, tactile discrimination, and thermal sensation. In this study, we aim to describe random pattern nasolabial flap for lip reconstruction using various functional parameters. Methodology This is a retrospective study of 22 patients with carcinoma lip who underwent surgical resection and reconstruction with sensate nasolabial flap. Several clinicopathological parameters were studied. Outcome parameters like oral competence, tactile sensation, thermal sensitivity of reconstructed lip and speech outcomes were evaluated. Result A functional outcome with 2–4 mm of two‐point discrimination was obtained in 19 patients. All patients had intelligible speech. A mean sulcus depth of 19.59 mm was achieved. One patient had partial flap loss owing to wound infection. Conclusion Random pattern senate nasolabial flap offers a good functional outcome by maintaining the tactile and thermal sensitivity.
Management of sleep and autonomic parameters are prime importance in diabetic patients. The present study was undertaken to observe the effectiveness of 8 weeks of vestibular exercise on sleep and autonomic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 30 participants were recruited for the study. After recruiting, the participants were randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups with a 1:1 distribution. The vestibular exercises comprise three sets of exercises of 45 minutes duration each session. Four sessions per week were administered to the participants. The exercises were standardized by earlier researchers. The same was adopted in the present study. There was a significant decrease in the ISI scores and decrease in the systolic, diastolic and pulse rate in the participants. The present study results show that practicing vestibular exercises along with the prescribed treatment helps to improve sleep and regulate autonomic functions. The study recommends long-term studies with a higher sample size for a better understanding of the vestibular exercises and also recommends adopting these exercises in the treatment protocol.
Palm Vein Recognition is one among the biometric authentication methods. It works by recognizing the unique patterns of veins in the palms of the people. In palm vein recognition, the near-infrared light is illuminated into the palm emitted by the palm scanner. This near-infrared light is absorbed by the deoxygenated blood flowing through the veins which reduces its ability to reflect back the light. This causes the veins to appear as black patterns and is captured as an image by the scanner. These images are processed using various algorithms and compared with the data in the database and authenticates the individuals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
