Abstract

OCAS is a new, original tool for the diagnosis of dismorphies, both in its conception (digitalisation of a moiré pattern on the body) and in its applications (predominantly surgical, for legal medicine and didactic purposes). By means of this new 3D method of measurement by digitalised moiré, the forms of the body in general, and those of the face in particular, can be studied and quantified with a high degree of accuracy. This precision in the geometrical analysis of its forms is achieved by combining the very latest developments in optics and computer technology. The authors present the current state of their research in the 3D synthesis and manipulation of the human image.

Independent binocular rivalry processes for motion and form.

During binocular rivalry, conflicting monocular images undergo alternating suppression. This study explores rivalry suppression by probing visual sensitivity during rivalry with various probe stimuli. When two faces engage in rivalry, sensitivity to face probes is reduced 4-fold during suppression. Rivaling global motions also rivaled very deeply when probed with a global motion. However, in a surprising finding, sensitivity to face probes is completely unimpaired during global motion rivalry, and motion sensitivity is unimpaired during face rivalry. This suggests that rivalry suppression is localized to the neurons representing the image conflict, which means that probes of a different kind suffer no suppression. Sensibly, this would leave visual processes not involved in rivalry free to function normally.

Facial pseudotumours A case report and review of their management.

The term inflammatory pseudotumour is given to a group of benign lesions, which are comprised of spindle myofibroblasts and chronic inflammatory cells. They rarely present out with the orbit in the head and neck and can appear sinister in their clinical and radiological presentation. Local resection is curative, whilst steroids and radiotherapy can be helpful adjuncts. Accurate histological diagnosis is essential to avoid radical and disfiguring resections being undertaken.
