Summary: The face is a common area for traumatic injuries, with assault, motor vehicle collisions, falls, sports, occupational incidents, and gunshot wounds being common causes of facial fractures. Most fractures occur in the upper two-thirds of the face, and timely assessment and treatment are crucial for optimal restoration of facial structures and functions. Without proper management, complications such as airway compromise, bleeding, infection, intracranial hemorrhages, poor functional outcomes, and aesthetic setbacks can occur.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed a case series of 17 patients with facial nerve palsy undergoing lower eyelid periosteal flap procedures. It was found that horizontal deficiency was encountered during surgery, but was effectively managed with a periosteal flap. Postoperatively, all patients had improved lower eyelid position, although 4 patients required redo surgery at 1-year follow-up.

Summary: This study assesses injury risks from night vision goggles (NVGs) impact on cadaver heads, and determines the effects of impact angle and bone geometry on injury characteristics. Facial fracture probabilities were quantified through survival analysis and injury risk functions.

Summary: The study found that patients with isolated mandibular fractures had a lower incidence rate of CSI, while isolated nasal fractures were strongly associated with CSI. Patients with concomitant cranial injuries were more likely to have CSI.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of concomitant facial bone fractures on temporal bone injuries and found that facial bone fractures reduced the risk of delayed facial palsy and posttraumatic vertigo in patients with temporal bone fractures. Immediate facial palsy was more common in patients with facial bone fractures, while delayed facial palsy and posttraumatic vertigo occurred more frequently in patients without facial bone fractures.

Summary: Advances in 3-dimensional modeling have improved presurgical planning and patient education for maxillofacial reconstruction. A study comparing 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional computed tomography for patient education found that participants who viewed the 3-dimensional tutorial first performed better on self-assessment and knowledge recall surveys, and preferred the 3-dimensional format.

Summary: Soccer, a popular sport worldwide, can lead to significant facial fractures. A study found a total of 647 patients with facial trauma, with a majority being male. The most common locations for facial fractures in soccer players were the zygoma, nasal bone, and mandibula.

Summary: The study revealed that skiing and snowboarding-related facial trauma is relatively uncommon in the US, with injuries mostly decreasing but facial fractures still occurring. Pediatric patients accounted for the majority of injuries, while adults were more prone to facial fractures.

Summary: Three-dimensional planes of reference for orbital fractures (3D-PROF) is a technique for isolating segments of the orbital cavity for 3D analyses. The study conducted to evaluate the interobserver variability of 3D-PROF showed excellent reproducibility and potential for preoperative planning with minimal variability among observers.

Summary: This study aimed to define clinical presentation, fracture patterns, and predictive features of associated injuries in pediatric facial trauma patients in an urban setting. Most patients were referred to the emergency department by a physician's office or self-presented. Older patients with orbital or mandibular fractures were more likely to undergo surgery than younger ones, and associated injuries were more common in younger patients after high energy injuries. Maintaining a high index of suspicion for associated injuries is essential in all pediatric facial trauma patients.

Summary: By exploring new variants of the Julia set with the escape criteria for the function sin(z(n))+az+c, using four distinct fixed point iterative methods, we examine the impact of parameters on the dynamics, color, and appearance of fractals. Some of these fractals can be seen as stunning art on glass or decorations for Indian Rangoli, while others resemble beautiful objects like flowers or ants found in our surroundings.

Summary: This study assessed the outcomes of orbital repairs using transconjunctival and transcutaneous approaches, with a focus on lid-related complications and their management. The transconjunctival approach was the first choice for the majority of patients, but entropion was the most common complication, requiring early surgical management.

Summary: In this study, we report the field-free switching of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy ferromagnet cobalt iron boron using out-of-plane spin-polarized current generated by the Weyl semimetal tantalum iridium telluride. Our results suggest that TaIrTe4 is an efficient spin current source for field-free spin-orbit torque applications.

Summary: Symmetry plays a central role in determining the polarization of spin currents induced by electric fields. In this study, an out-of-plane damping-like torque is shown to be generated in RuO2/permalloy devices when the Neel vector of the collinear antiferromagnet RuO2 is canted relative to the sample plane. By measuring characteristic changes in the electric-field-induced torque vector, it is found that RuO2 generates a spin current with a well-defined tilted spin orientation parallel to the Neel vector. This antiferromagnetic spin Hall effect has distinct symmetries from other mechanisms of spin-current generation reported in antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic materials.
