Background: Alternobaric facial palsy (AFP) is a rare phenomenon which occurs in patients with Eustachian tube dysfunction, a dehiscent facial canal, and subsequent compression induced ischemic neuropraxia of the facial nerve upon exposure to atmospheric pressure changes. There are few documented cases of AFP and most relate to underwater diving. There is limited understanding in the literature of AFP in the setting of high altitude, leading to a potential for misdiagnosis and inappropriate management. ...

Publication date: 1 December 2019Source: Journal of Neuroscience Methods, Volume 328Author(s): Steven L. Meisler, Michael J. Kahana, Youssef EzzyatAbstractBackgroundNeuroscientists routinely seek to identify and remove noisy or artifactual observations from their data. They do so with the belief that removing such data improves power to detect relations between neural activity and behavior, which are often subtle and can be overwhelmed by noise. Whereas standard methods can exclude certain well-defined...

Chen et al should be commended for this novel study, which attempts to directly relate the current landscape of social media to the acceptance of cosmetic surgery. Their findings that social media investment had a positive effect on the consideration of surgery corroborates the rising trend noticed among facial plastic surgeons. The discussion provided on the negative effect of social media and, more specifically, selfies highlights the need to better understand the underlying motives and characteristics...

In Reply We sincerely appreciate the interest of Huggins and colleagues in our study. We completely understand their opinion and their reasoning. Despite the low incidence rates, eyelid retraction and tethering are important drawbacks of fat transposition. These might be related to the inadequate skills of individual surgeons rather than to problems related to the technique itself. However, these complications are not simply anecdotal. In fact, several patients have visited our clinic because of...

Aesthetic Orthognathic Surgery and Rhinoplasty, edited by Derek Steinbacher, is a personal attempt by the editor to combine the complex procedures of orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty into an interrelated evaluation and surgical plan. The editor combines his extensive knowledge of both procedures to work out an orderly, sensible, and precise system to analyze and plan these operations to treat patients who might benefit from them.

In Reply Thank you, Dr Pisano, for your insightful comments regarding our recent article. It is true that large analyses such as this should be examined critically and with an understanding of the limitations of large data sets. Regarding surgery duration, we did not adjust the analysis by surgery duration or use of regional blocks. While these could potentially be confounding factors related to pain in the immediate postoperative period and use of opioids, they would be unlikely to contribute to...

In the Surgical Pearls article titled “Suspension Technique for Unstable Nasal Bones” published online on August 1, 2019, in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery, the first sentence of the third paragraph should read as follows: “If the nasal bones have multiple comminutions after trauma or if osteotomies lead to a fully mobile nasal bone, the suspension technique is required to reliably reposition the nose and achieve adequate nasal projection.”

Abstract The late positive potential (LPP) is characterized by temporal and spatial changes across development—though existing work has primarily relied on visual or statistical comparisons of relatively few electrodes and averaged activity over time. The current study used an empirically based approach to characterize temporal and spatial changes in ERPs over time. Data were utilized from a large longitudinal study (N = 380) in which the LPP was recorded to pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant pictures...

Abstract Appropriately adjusting to errors is essential for adaptive behavior. Post‐error slowing (PES) refers to the increased reaction times on trials following incorrect relative to correct responses. PES has been used as a metric of cognitive control in basic cognitive neuroscience research as well as clinical contexts. However, calculation of PES varies widely among studies and has not yet been standardized, despite recent calls to optimize its measurement. Here, using behavioral and electrophysiological...
