“…[11] ORIF is the most preferred treatment option of such maxillofacial fractures. [10,12] However, external fixation still remains as the gold standard in the management of complex mandibular fractures, especially complicated and comminuted high-energy gunshot fractures. [13] Cases of gross comminution, infection, soft-and hard-tissue loss may not be amenable to ORIF, because this treatment modality requires large periostal stripping which may impair blood supply, thus leading to nonunion or bone necrosis.…”

“…Ballistic wounds are associated with a high incidence of maxillofacial injuries requiring surgical intervention. [ 10 ] Their causes and patterns differ considerably, which indicate the treatment modality to be used. [ 11 ] ORIF is the most preferred treatment option of such maxillofacial fractures.…”

High-energy ballistic injuries may cause comminuted facial fractures. Treatment of such fractures might be challenging because of infection and soft-and hard-tissue loss. These cases may not be amenable to open reduction and internal fixation. We present 2 cases of gunshot fractures, for which external fixation was used as a surgical step before definitive treatment. With the use of external fixation, existing infection had been controlled and soft tissues had been restored, which allowed oral rehabilitation with reconstruction plates and autogenous bone grafting, if needed.

Much of the energy consumed is used to provide comfortable conditions in buildings. Windows (all transparent walls) is one of the weakest points in wasting energy. In this study, using the characteristics of human skin as a protective layer and interface between the inside and outside of the body, an attempt is made to improve the transparent walls performance of the building facade. Simultaneously, the process of question-answering is articulated, and the characteristics of this natural pattern are discovered. Then, human skin traits are applied to enhance the diverse functions of facades. Finally, according to the characteristics of the skin, among more than 15 primary etudes, a vertical shading system is presented that can control the incoming radiation. The design is evaluated in two modes, controlled by temperature and controlled by the intensity of sunlight. The results show that more than 10% of energy consumption is reduced with movable shading systems. A separate study of energy consumption for cooling, heating, and lighting makes it more reasonable to use a temperature-controlled shading system, which can save 23% to 25% of the annual cost.
