Background Brow lift also known as eyebrow lift was first described in 1919, and since then, many changes have been made in the methods of doing it, although there is still no agreed method of absolute superiority for eyebrow lift. Most previous studies have reported the results generally qualitatively and based on patient or surgeon satisfaction. In this study, by combining two less complicated methods of eyebrow lift, we have evaluated the quantitative results. Method Before the surgery, a standard photograph of the face was taken. The vertical distance between the tail of the eyebrow and interpupillary line was determined. Results This study was performed on 15 females with a mean age of 38.27 ± 6.82 years. The mean distance between the eyebrow and interpupillary line by photographic measurement before surgery, 3 weeks, and 6 months after surgery was, respectively, 10.45 ± 1.74, 15.72 ± 1.77, and 13.53 ± 1.69 mm using the tail of the eyebrow and 18.47 ± 1.67, 23.33 ± 1.57, and 21.55 ± 1.66 mm using the crown of the eyebrow. In the clinical measurement, the eyebrow tail was 11.98 ± 1.75, 19.22 ± 1.73, 17.35 ± 1.68 and 15.13 ± 1.76 mm away from the pupil line, and the crown of eyebrow was 20.45 ± 1.90, 27.12 ± 1.58, 25.00 ± 1.80, and 23.35±1.78 mm. There is a significant difference between the distance of the tail of the eyebrow and the crown of the eyebrow in both measurement methods (photographic and clinical) at different times (p‐value <0.001). Conclusion Performing eyebrow lift with the Pretrichial method has many comparative advantages to other methods. Additionally, eyebrow lift with the thread support is a less invasive method.
Introduction:Oral cancer is the sixth common malignancy worldwide. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for 90% of the oral cancers and is the 11th common cancer. Various studies showed that HPV, EBV and some other viruses might be the cause for a group of head and neck cancers including oral cavity cancer (OCC). The aim of this study was to assess the important viral infection, in the induction of oral cavity cancers.Method:Data was collected using key words including oral cavity, cancer, malignancy, OCC, OSCC, virus, infection, HPV, EBV, HCV in international databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane and Embase until 2020.Result:A total of 30 original articles were reviewed after eliminating unrelated and redundant articles. The results of all reviewed articles except four indicated that the role of viral infections in OCC. Yen and Prathyusha reported that the prevalence of EBV among OCC cases ranged from 20 to 80%. The rate of HPV infection in patient with OCC ranged from 1.9% in the study by Smith et al. to 51.5 in the study by Tachezy et al.Conclusion:Review of epidemiological studies revealed that HPV and EBV infection were significantly related to OCC, whereas the relationship between OCC and HCV was less prominent. Therefore, the high prevalence of these viral infections can be considered as a possible reason for the incidence of OCC. further studies are required to identify the exact mechanism for the carcinogenesis of these viruses.
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.
