MeSH

The anterior portion of the head that includes the skin, muscles, and structures of the forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and jaw.

Ability to identify an individual from their facial features.

Year introduced: 2016

The transference between individuals of the entire face or major facial structures. In addition to the skin and cartilaginous tissue (CARTILAGE), it may include muscle and bone as well.

Year introduced: 2008

Extraoral devices for applying force to the dentition in order to avoid some of the problems in anchorage control met with in intermaxillary traction and to apply force in directions not otherwise possible.

Year introduced: 1991(1977)

Electron microscopy techniques designed to reconstruct 3-D images at micrometer volume scales at nanometer (nm) level resolutions. Volume electron microscopy uses various techniques to render, segment and reconstruct 3-D images from stacked sequential 2-D images of incremental z-planes.

Year introduced: 2023

Plastic surgery performed, usually by excision of skin, for the elimination of wrinkles from the skin.

Year introduced: 1989

A family of the order DIPTERA with over 700 species. Important species that may be mechanical vectors of disease include Musca domesticus (HOUSEFLIES), Musca autumnalis (face fly), Stomoxys calcitrans (stable fly), Haematobia irritans (horn fly) and Fannia spp.

Year introduced: 1988

Respiratory protective devices designed to achieve a close seal around the nose and mouth to maintain efficient filtration of aerosolized particles and droplets. They are often fitted for the prevention of the spread of infections (e.g. COVID19) or to administer inhaled anesthetics or other gases.

Year introduced: 2021

Observable changes of expression in the face in response to emotional stimuli.

Date introduced: August 25, 2010

The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

Year introduced: 1989

Pain in the facial region including orofacial pain and craniofacial pain. Associated conditions include local inflammatory and neoplastic disorders and neuralgic syndromes involving the trigeminal, facial, and glossopharyngeal nerves. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent facial pain as the primary manifestation of disease are referred to as FACIAL PAIN SYNDROMES.

Year introduced: 1986

Congenital syndrome characterized by a wide spectrum of characteristics including the absence of the THYMUS and PARATHYROID GLANDS resulting in T-cell immunodeficiency, HYPOCALCEMIA, defects in the outflow tract of the heart, and craniofacial anomalies.

Year introduced: 1991(1977)

Application of a cauterant to the skin for the purpose of causing a superficial destruction of the epidermis and upper layers of the dermis. After healing, the treated area has new epithelium.

Year introduced: 1977

Date introduced: August 24, 2012

Date introduced: August 25, 2010

An autosomal dominant craniofacial dystosis that is phenotypically similar to Distal Arthrogryposis Type 1 (OMIM: 108120). In addition to CONTRACTURES of the hands and feet, it is characterized by oropharyngeal abnormalities, SCOLIOSIS, and a distinctive FACIES that includes a very small oral orifice (often only a few millimeters in diameter at birth), puckered lips, and an H-shaped dimple of the chin; hence, FSS has been called 'whistling face syndrome.' Mutations in the MYH3 gene have been identified. OMIM: 193700

Date introduced: August 25, 2010

The inability to recognize a familiar face or to learn to recognize new faces. This visual agnosia is most often associated with lesions involving the junctional regions between the temporal and occipital lobes. The majority of cases are associated with bilateral lesions, however unilateral damage to the right occipito-temporal cortex has also been associated with this condition. (From Cortex 1995 Jun;31(2):317-29).

Year introduced: 2000

A diphenyl ether derivative used in cosmetics and toilet soaps as an antiseptic. It has some bacteriostatic and fungistatic action.
