Rulkov Map in the Superior Orbit

Virtual surgical planning (VSP) is becoming more widely used in maxillofacial reconstruction and can be surgeon-based or industry-based. Surgeon-based models require software training but allow surgeon autonomy. We evaluate the learning curve for VSP through a prospective cohort study in which planning times and accuracy of 7 otolaryngology residents with no prior VSP experience were compared to that of a proficient user after a single training protocol and 6 planning sessions for orbital fractures. The average planning time for the first session was 21 minutes 41 seconds ± 6 minutes 11 seconds with an average maximum deviation of 2.5 ± 0.8 mm in the lateral orbit and 2.3 ± 0.6 mm in the superior orbit. The average planning time for the last session was 13 minutes 5 seconds ± 10 minutes and 7 seconds with an average maximum deviation of 1.4 ± 0.5 mm in the lateral orbit and 1.3 ± 0.4 mm in the superior orbit. Novice users reduced planning time by 40% and decreased maximum deviation of plans by 44% and 43% in the lateral and superior orbits, respectively, approaching that of the proficient user. Virtual surgical planning has a quick learning curve and may be incorporated into surgical training.

Superior Orbit

Abstract We describe a modification of an old frontal craniotomy technique which allows excellent access to the floor of the frontal fossa and the superior orbit with less brain retraction than conventional techniques. The procedure is described and suggestions are made for its use. We consider it to be the approach of choice for orbital tumors.

Superior Orbit

In this study, we consider a switching strategy that yields a stable desirable dynamic behaviour when it is applied alternatively between two undesirable dynamical systems. From the last few years, dynamical systems employed “chaos1 + chaos2 = order” and “order1 + order2 = chaos” (vice-versa) to control and anti control of chaotic situations. To find parameter values for these kind of alternating situations, comparison is being made between bifurcation diagrams of a map and its alternate version, which, on their own, means independent of one another, yield chaotic orbits. However, the parameter values yield a stable periodic orbit, when alternating strategy is employed upon them. It is interesting to note that we look for stabilization of chaotic trajectories in nonlinear dynamics, with the assumption that such chaotic behaviour is not desirable for a particular situation. The method described in this paper is based on the Parrondo’s paradox, where two losing games can be alternated, yielding a winning game, in a superior orbit.

Piriform Aperture

The human skull is the skeleton of the head and is considered along with the mandible. It consists of paired bones and unpaired midline bones that contribute to the muscular attachments for mastication and facial expression, a bony foundation for the upper aerodigestive tract and support and housing for the special sensory organs, brain and other structures susceptible to trauma. The skull without the mandible is termed the cranium and consists of the neurocranium and viscerocranium (facial skeleton). The upper third of the skull is principally formed by the frontal bones and exaggerated at the superciliary ridges of the superior orbit and smooth glabella region centrally. The paired maxillary bones form the middle third, creating the circumference of the piriform aperture between, and are separated from the frontal and temporal bones by the zygoma laterally. They house the maxillary sinuses and meet in the midline inferiorly to form the upper jaw and most of the hard palate at the intermaxillary suture.
