Facial analysis is a critical skill in the pre- as well as post-operative assessment of patients undergoing facial surgery. A successful approach is based on familiarity of normal anatomy, its clinical variance, and developing a systematic approach. In an an effort to develop a comprehensive and methodical approach, we have segregated out nasal elements from facial analysis. Progressive skill refinement requires a combination of foundational anatomy, a critical eye for facial harmony, and routine practice.

Abstract Introduction Human facial characteristics vary according to individual dental occlusion, facial harmony, orofacial musculature and the format and configuration of craniofacial structures. Traditionally, anthropometric measurements have been acquired through direct evaluation of subjects in a clinical environment using calipers and metric tapes to measure distances between arches and landmarks. Scientific breakthroughs have enabled the digitization of data and introduced the possibility of quick, precise, radiation-free acquisitions; details can be archived for future analysis and easily shared with patients and colleagues. Among new facial analysis methods, the stereophotogrammetry technique has emerged, which uses a group of cameras to take many photographs of a subject in rapid succession from multiple angles. Nowadays, portable stereophotogrammetric systems are being proposed, as they are more practical and easier to use. Objective The aim of this work was to analyze the accuracy and reproducibility of a portable 3D stereophotogrammetric system (Vectra H1, Canfield, Fairfield, NJ, USA) in measuring soft facial tissues of 30 participants, defining measures of a cube and comparing these measurements with those obtained by a set 3D stereophotogrammetric system (Vectra M3, Canfield, Fairfield, NJ, USA) with previously validated accuracy and reproducibility through quantitative analysis of possible errors. Material and method Thirty temporary landmarks were used to measure (in mm) 34 distances in 30 participants (n = 30). Regarding the cube, 12 angles and 9 linear distances were evaluated. Result The results obtained by the established methodology indicated that the Vectra H1 portable system has shown accuracy and reproducibility equal to that of the Vectra M3 set system. Conclusion Data analysis and correlation to literature findings show Vectra H1's capability to reliably capture tridimensional images, which makes it practical for use in diverse clinical applications.

A well-designed SCADA system finds the middle ground between effectively using the latest advances in technology and drawing on the experience of well operators in optimising production from individual wells. Well management methodologies developed and adopted across time by the field operators can be overlooked in the process of designing a SCADA system as the control philosophy of the system is built on a rudimentary understanding of the operation and often does not allow for the subtle nuances that are part of a well operator's daily interaction with a well. One main challenge in designing a system is to capture the art of well optimisation. It is also important that an effective automated SCADA system meets the needs of other relevant stakeholders in the organisation, such as reservoir engineers, supervisors and business managers. This holistic approach to the design ensures that the data set gathered, which most business decisions will be based on, is uniform across all areas of the company. This extended abstract describes the experience of integrating an automated SCADA system while incorporating successful well management methodologies for leading Australian CSG operators. It outlines the systematic approach to understanding all aspects of well operation and optimisation, using that information to select hardware and software platforms and then implementing and using the system.

The importance of a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and selecting a multimedia authoring system becomes evident once the developer understands the impact that an authoring system has on the development and costs of a multimedia project. This article provides the instructional multimedia developer with a methodical approach for selecting the most appropriate authoring system—based on his or her needs and requirements as well as on the needs and requirements of his or her organization—from the myriad authoring tools available. It also organizes the most important authoring system selection criteria into two general classes for analysis—non-functional and functional—and provides a detailed description of each.

Biomimetic design is considered a promising source of novel solutions to problems in space engineering and robotics in particular. With the maturing of this discipline, however, a need is identified: a more systematic approach to its application to reduce the element of chance in the design of biomimetic systems. A methodology is proposed to address this concern and provide a basis for further development of biomimetic design procedures. The application of this process is illustrated through case studies of ongoing biomimetics research with relevance to space robotics in the form of climbing robots utilising synthetic dry adhesives.

The study uses a systematic approach to ensure the complexity and focus of scientific recommendations, analytical, abstract-logical, calculating-constructive, economic-statistical, economic-mathematical, monographic methods of research. The methodical approach to justifying the placement of organic agricultural products and food production, localizing it using method of mapping. The Based on the acceptance of mapping with allocation locally segments based on certain criteria or features based on the points-rating system. This allows us to distinguish local segments of industry production and organic farming using signs of geographical and behavioral segmentation. At the same time, the criterion of segmentation by geographical basis may be the natural and economic zoning of the area in question; the criterion of segmentation by behavioral basis may be the degree of need of the residents of the area for a particular product. In the end, the allocation of segments is reduced to ranking local zones of production and processing of organic agricultural products and markets, forming in them

There is lack of a suitable assessment tool that can be used routinely and systematically by hospital staff to address family caregivers’ (FCs’) support needs. This paper describes a novel approach to identifying and addressing FCs’ needs following hospital discharge of the older person receiving care.Setting and participantsFC recruitment occurred on the patient’s discharge from a tertiary hospital in Western Australia; 64 completed the study; 80% were female; mean age 63.2 years.InterventionThe Further Enabling Care at Home (FECH) programme was delivered over the telephone by a specially trained nurse and included: support to facilitate understanding of the patient’s discharge letter; caregiver support needs assessment and prioritisation of urgent needs; and collaborative guidance, from the nurse, regarding accessing supports.ResultsSixty-four FCs completed the FECH programme. The top three support needs identified by the FCs were: knowing what to expect in the future (52%), knowing who to contact if they were concerned (52%) and practical help in the home (36%). The telephone-based outreach service worked well and was convenient for the nurse and the FCs, and saved on transport, time and money. Most of the FCs appreciated the systematic approach to identify and articulate their needs and were satisfied with the support they received, mainly navigation through the systems, problem solving, self-care strategies, explanation of illness, symptoms and medication and access to after-hours services.ConclusionsIn order to guide services which may consider adopting this systematic approach to supporting FCs and integrating it into their routine practice, this evaluation of the FECH programme has described the processes implemented and highlighted the factors that hindered or facilitated these processes to engage caregivers with appropriate services in a timely manner. Positive feedback indicated that the programme was a useful addition to hospital discharge planning.Trial registration numberACTRN12614001174673; Results.

Background: Though vertebroplasty is a well-known and extremely effective procedure in experienced hands, it is a much more difficult procedure to learn than standard spinal pain injection procedures. We therefore present a simplified, methodical approach to vertebroplasty that can be adopted by trained interventionalists. Many practitioners who attend hands-on cadaver workshops lack confidence to apply this technique in live patients. Objectives: To present a methodical, reproducible, and proven technique. To provide strategies on pre-procedure and post-procedure care in order to optimize outcomes in vertebroplasty patients. Study Design: A step-by-step tutorial is presented outlining the steps in the vertebroplasty procedure. A discussion of anatomic considerations, pre-procedure patient selection issues, and post-procedure management is also presented. Methods: Sections are presented on anatomy, patient selection, a 10-step technique on performance of vertebroplasty, a discussion of how this technique is advantageous, and post-procedure management. Results: This technique has been proven in clinical practice for over 1,500 vertebroplasties and has been well-received the past 4 years by hundreds of trainees taught at numerous hands-on courses (Stryker Interventional Pain, Arthrocare, and Society of Interventional Radiology). Conclusion: A basic tutorial is presented for the beginner who is interested in vertebroplasty. This safe and reproducible technique has been proven in clinical practice. The anatomic considerations, patient selection issues, technique, and post-procedure management has been taught and well received by hundreds of physicians at numerous hands on courses within the United States and Canada.

The technical paper presents a systematic approach to deal with a new product trend that will survive during assembly production ramp-up.  The project was intended to determine the required process flow and platforms for high-density and high-complexity scalable device. Critical processes were shown and top reject contributor was addressed through methodological way by using statistical tools and in depth engineering analysis.The New Scalable Device is one of the newest and latest developed device in the plant, with main application as an Electrostatic Device (ESD) protection device.  The device is considered high density as its 6” single wafer is equivalent to 400,000 units compared to conventional device consisting of only 1,000 units.  Moreover, it is considered as a device with high complexity as state-of-the-art platforms were needed to satisfy its output process.  The device has a very thin die and with the smallest total package dimension.  The process of assembly manufacturing includes a step cutting method of wafers, compression molding, and in-strip testing, which are unlikely to be found on other semiconductor industries.  Compared to the conventional and universal approach, complex errors and top reject contributor of identified critical processes were corrected and required process capability index was ultimately achieved.
