Traumatic facial nerve injury: A case of facial nerve avulsion at the cerebellopontine angle
Post-traumatic facial nerve paralysis is a common disease, but intracranial facial nerve injury after blunt injury has rarely been reported. We report a case of facial nerve avulsion at the cerebellopontine angle.

Surgical Treatment of Facial Paralysis [PDF]
The management of facial paralysis is one of the most complex areas of reconstructive surgery. Given the wide variety of functional and cosmetic deficits in the facial paralysis patient, the reconstructive surgeon requires a thorough understanding of the

Infant Contact-less Non-Nutritive Sucking Pattern Quantification via Facial Gesture Analysis [PDF]
Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) is defined as the sucking action that occurs when a finger, pacifier, or other object is placed in the baby's mouth, but there is no nutrient delivered. In addition to providing a sense of safety, NNS even can be regarded as an indicator of infant's central nervous system development. The rich data, such as sucking frequency,

Digital Methods for the Fatigue Assessment of Engineering Steels
The use of engineering steels is often limited by their fatigue strength. In the sake of a faster product development, the fatigue behavior can be predicted by machine learning (ML). In this work, ML is applied on a heterogeneous database, covering a wide range of steel types.

Proximal Planar Cech Nerves. An Approach to Approximating the Shapes of Irregular, Finite, Bounded Planar Regions [PDF]
This article introduces proximal Cech nerves and Cech complexes, restricted to finite, bounded regions $K$ of the Euclidean plane. A Cech nerve is a collection of intersecting balls. A Cech complex is a collection of nerves that cover $K$. Cech nerves are proximal, provided the nerves are close to each other, either spatially or descriptively.

Idiopathic Bilateral Simultaneous Facial Nerve Palsy (B-FNP) [PDF]
Background: Bilateral facial nerve palsy (B-FNP) is a rare clinical manifestation with incidence of 1 per 5 million people. Furthermore, it approximately accounts for 0.3 – 2 % of facial palsy cases. This B-FNP case is intricate in the diagnosis, finding
