daminozide (Alar)

07/01/2007 - "This personal technique of nasal alar suturing during bimaxillary surgery appears to be effective in avoiding unaesthetic deformities of the nasal base as well as providing good facial harmony."
11/01/2006 - "The postoperative results showed a significant statistical improvement in the following tip deformities: underprojected tip (P<.001), poorly defined tip (P<.001), alar retraction (P<.001), alar pinch (P<.001), overrotated tip (P<.001), and tip ptosis (P<.01). "
10/01/2001 - "Good results were obtained in 29 patients where alar-columellar web deformities were either absent or minimal and a satisfactory symmetry of the nostrils was achieved. "
02/01/2012 - "Alar release and medialization would be effective in some of these deformities. "
11/01/2009 - "The postoperative results as judged by the surgeon showed a clear improvement in tip definition (100%) and projection (100%), alar pinching (100%), tip deformities (95.2%), tip deviation (77.8%) alar retraction (87.5%) and tip ptosis (85.7%). "

01/01/2003 - "Postoperative follow-up of 6-12 months revealed the good results with invisible scar, good preservation of philtrum dimple and column, full vermilion and lengthened columella, good alar cartilage reposition. "
03/01/2002 - "Our design of composite flap has been successfully utilized to repair an entire alar defect with cosmetically and functionally good results, minimizing the donor area and the resulting operation scars. "
04/01/2011 - "The boomerang alar base excision proved to be a safe and effective technique for narrowing the nasal base and elimination of the excessive flaring and resulted in a natural, well-proportioned nasal base with no obvious scarring."
03/01/2015 - "All patients attained relatively symmetrical nostrils with a natural, smooth, integrated alar rim and inconspicuous scars. "
01/01/2015 - "The proposed advantages of pre-surgical naso-alveolar moulding (PNAM) are easy primary lip repair which heals under minimum tension reducing the scar formation and improving the aesthetic results in addition to reshaping of alar cartilage and improvement of nasal symmetry.However"

05/01/2012 - "The presurgical nasoalveolar molding technique improved nasal tip projection and alar cartilage depression and decreased partially columella deviation before rhinocheiloplasty in South American unilateral cleft lip/palate patients."
12/01/2014 - " results show that this modification has improved the alar contour and symmetry in patients undergoing primary cleft-lip nasal repair. "
06/01/2001 - "The purpose of this study was to audit the process and outcome in terms of nasal-tip symmetry of the first 20 patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate treated by the Pigott alar leapfrog primary nasal correction in the early 1970s and followed for 20 years. "
05/01/1998 - "This study was to explore the pathological action of the adjacent connective tissues of alar cartilage in unilateral cleft lip nose. "
03/01/2015 - "Analysis of alar balance in secondary cleft lip with Z-plasty technique of nasal cartilage."

01/01/1984 - "On the left side the extent of columellar deviation (5.9 degrees) and degree of alar base dislocation (1.5 mm) were significantly greater than on the right (4.0 degrees, p less than 0.05, and 1.0 mm, p less than 0.01, respectively). "
05/01/2015 - "Intervertebral motions and translations were recorded in seven specimens under conditions in the following order: intact, OC dislocation model with complete disruption of the cruciate ligaments, alar ligaments, and occipitoatlantal/atlantoaxial capsules (injury), segmental posterior fixation (SPF) with posterior instrumentation (ELLIPSE; Globus Medical, Inc., Audubon, PA, USA) at occiput, C1, and C2 levels, endpoint fixation (EPF) with posterior instrumentation at occiput and C1 level skipping C1, and endpoint fixation with a cross-connector (EPFC). "
10/01/2011 - "The underlying pathology of the long nose may be due to either a long septum that invades the lip or dislocation of the alar cartilages downward from the aponeurotic attachments to the septal angle. "
03/01/2010 - "The alar base was deviated upward in 19 patients, 11 cases had severe anatomic alteration with the lateral border of the ala above the medial canthus, and 8 cases had a mild dislocation. "
03/01/2006 - "Type 2 is caused by a dislocation of the alar cartilages downward from the aponeurotic attachments to the septal angle. "

01/01/2013 - "Over a 7-year period, 107 patients with nasal obstruction caused by INVI underwent alar batten grafting. "
09/01/1990 - "We have applied this technique to patients with nasal airway obstruction resulting from alar collapse. "
09/01/1990 - "Disturbance of the normal relationship between the caudal border of the upper lateral cartilage and the cephalic margin of the lobular cartilage--the so-called "cul-de-sac" area--can result in alar collapse and nasal airway obstruction. "
04/01/1979 - "Nasal obstruction from valvular dysfunction may take many forms besides alar collapse. "
09/01/2015 - "This study assesses the efficacy of alar suspension sutures in the management of nasal valve collapse causing nasal obstruction. "
