    Extractions: Conference Administration Conference Overview Giving Back: to our colleagues, our patients and ourselves T his program will feature practitioners who are primary practitioners for head and neck cancer, and AAMP members sharing experiences in rehabilitation of the cancer patient using endosteal implant therapy. This includes patients who have also had microvascular reconstructions of the maxilla and mandible. There will be a unique experience for all delegates to demonstrate various techniques and research in maxillofacial prosthetics during a dedicated morning session of table clinics and poster presentations. All delegates are extended an invitation to bring select casts, models, materials, and innovations to share during this time. A hands-on interchange between members during this forum may offer just the subtle nuance required to meet a difficult patient need: the more experienced the practitioner, the more potential to bring forward this information. It is an opportunity for all to "give back" to the Academy. Since 1988

    Extractions: Week of May 18, 2002; Vol. 161, No. 20 , p. 307 Bruce Bower Between ages 6 months and 9 months, a baby accomplishes a heads-up feat, of sorts. That's when he or she transforms a budding aptitude for detecting animal faces in general into a proficiency at discerning different human faces. This finding bears on the controversial issue of what types of knowledge a baby comes equipped with at birth. PRIMATE FACE-OFF. Using images such as these, scientists found that 6-month-old babies discerned new faces, both monkey and human, from ones they had already seen. Adults and 9-month-olds distinguished only human faces. Science Infants learn to recognize faces through a process that exchanges perceptual breadth for depth, say psychologist Olivier Pascalis of the University of Sheffield in England and his colleagues. By 9 months of age, daily exposure to people has prepped babies' perceptual system to identify human-specific facial features so that they no longer detect subtle facial differences between members of other species, Pascalis' group proposes in the May 17 Science "Perhaps we're looking at how innate knowledge about faces changes over time due to visual experience," Pascalis says. "But it's impossible to say for sure, since experience with faces begins as soon as a child is born."

53. Funny Face
    of what it is like for a youngster to live with a facial difference. to children and families touched by AVMs or other facial differences.  
    http://members.aol.com/djbreslow/funnyface/
    
    Extractions: with narration by Kenny Breslow FUNNY FACE is a heartwarming story about a four-year-old (now age seven) born with a facial anomaly known as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) . Although AVMs are typically found in the brain and spine, Kenny's AVM affects his nose. This causes it to be bigger and redder than any other child his age. As a result, he must endure unconscious staring, innocent questioning and harmful teasing. In this story, Kenny's mom reveals the true experience of what it is like for a youngster to live with a facial difference. AVMs look a lot like hemangiomas, another anomaly found on the face. However, the treatment of an AVM is much different than the treatment of a hemangioma. The story is geared to suit a wide variety of readers: from medical and school professionals to children and families touched by AVMs or other facial differences. The book's underlying message is also critical for everyone who needs educating about the importance of not judging others by physical appearance alone. FUNNY FACE relates a young boy's medical and psychosocial experience in an easy-to-read story, now available for purchase by writing to

    Extractions: Children and adults with facial differences need our help. Medical problems that produce an alteration in facial appearance dramatically affect their lives. Whether this change is the result of a birth related disorder or an acquired problem such as trauma or facial cancer, patients with these problems need support. Although not life threatening, changes in facial appearance dramatically alter the way society views and interacts with a person. Our facial appearance is the first impression people in our family and local community have of all of us. When this appearance is altered, so is the reaction of others. Therefore, unlike other medical conditions such as heart disease, liver disease, lung disease, etc., facial disorders dramatically impact the way patients interact with society on a daily basis. In our area, one out of every five hundred children born have some sort of facial disfigurement. In addition, one in every thousand adults has some form of facial deformity related to trauma or cancer. Yet in spite of the large number of people affected by these problems, very little is being done to improve their standard of living. There has been no major advancement in the treatment of these problems in over the last decade. In Florida, there is little to no research being conducted to improve the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of these problems. More importantly, our state is only beginning to help patients and families deal with the fall of these complex problems.

    Extractions: Children who have frequent stomach aches make many visits to their health care providers, but the most typical result is that no clear medical diagnosis is found. Researchers have looked into psychological causes, and their studies have suggested that children with repeated stomach aches may come from anxious families or from families with physical health complaints. However, our understanding of what really causes this problem is far from clear-cut. Furthermore, there is little known about what becomes of these children when they become adults. Now, researchers from the United Kingdom report findings from a national study that followed a representative group of 5362 children born in 1946: the children were studied when they were 7, 11, and 15 years of age, and again at age 43. Children were considered to have repeated problems with stomach pain if they reported having pain during the previous year at each of the three interviews at ages 7, 11, and 15.

    Reasons for facial differences are almost as numerous as the differences There is a new and very good general resource about facial differences.

    Extractions: One of the major advances in treating asthma in children has been the development of metered-dose inhaler, devices which deliver a specific dose of asthma medication each time the child activates the inhaler. However, inhaler canisters contain a certain number of doses; if the child uses the inhaler more than the number of times listed on the product, the canister may still "work", but the dose of medication that is dispensed may vary. Researchers found that most adult asthmatics they surveyed did not know how many doses their inhaler contained. When they were asked how they knew it was time to replace their inhaler, about three-quarters said they would make their judgements by shaking the inhaler, or by noticing changes in the pressure of the "puff', the taste, or similar means. One approach, recommended by some manufacturers, is to float the canister in water to estimate how much medication is left. While 8% of patients used this technique, the authors found it was not a reliable way to determine whether an inhaler has run out of medication.

    Extractions: COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR TEENS AND ADULTS Designed for people with facial differences Why? A smiling, warm and loving face tells the baby that the world is a good place and, by association so is he or she. A cold, withdrawn, depressed face signals danger in the world and again, by primitive association, the infant experiences feelings of being ill at ease and the need to be vigilant. All through life, we are communicating via our facial expression, the eye contact we do or do not make, the cues our faces provide as to our mood. People look at our faces so that they can figure out how best to communicate with us and if we are listening to them. Someone with a facial difference, a child or adult who feels self-conscious about how they look, nonverbally communicates this feeling with the possibility that the entire process becomes awkward and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, someone with a craniofacial condition cannot walk down the street anonymously. The looks of strangers can feel intrusive and are resented. NOT have to be the solution!
