The ultimate “night before the case” resource from the foremost global rhinoplasty experts The art and science of rhinoplasty continues to evolve and improve, with many innovative techniques and effective structuring methods incorporated into advanced surgical practice since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2012. Rhinoplasty: Cases and Techniques, Second Edition, edited by world-renowned facial plastic surgeons Michael S. Godin and Jason S. Hamilton, expands on its acclaimed and top-selling predecessor. Rhinoplasty, the most demanding and challenging of all aesthetic surgical procedures, is made more easily accessible in this practical, how-to book from a who's who of rhinoplasty experts. This book begins with six didactic chapters covering consultation and evaluation, basic and advanced techniques, and potential complications, followed by nearly 100 case studies. Encompassing a spectacular variety of rhinoplasty deformities, the considerable depth and breadth of cases represent patients of virtually every racial and ethnic background. The second edition features new and updated procedures, including preservation rhinoplasty techniques, articulated rim grafts, expanded use of diced cartilage, and autologous rib grafts. Key Highlights Contributions from an exceptionally large group of internationally respected rhinoplasty expertsNinety-five case studies cross-catalogued by the exact type of major and minor nasal deformities enable the reader to quickly identify and learn the optimal surgical approach for each specific surgical caseSuperb pre- and postoperative photographs and drawings enhance understanding of clinical challenges and techniquesThis revised and expanded case-based book is an essential tool to help surgeons of all experience levels plan and execute beautiful rhinoplasties and achieve their best patient outcomes in this highly demanding surgical procedure.

In support of US Air Force efforts to conserve resources without sacrificing capability, this research examines the question of whether the 509th Bomb Wing could continue to provide maximum combat capability with fewer assigned pilots. During peacetime, pilot proficiency training comprises the majority of annual flying hours for the small B-2 bomber fleet. Optimal pilot manning will decrease the accumulation of excess wear on the airframes; helping to extend the viable life of the B-2 fleet and preserve the deterrent and combat capabilities that it provides to the United States.The operations and maintenance activity flows for B-2 aircraft and pilots in a notional sustained combat scenario are constructed in an Arena discrete-event simulation model. The model provides the capability to determine optimum manning levels for combat-qualified B-2 pilots across a range of fleet mission capable rates. Determination of actual optimum manning levels is sensitive to duration and probability parameters which are unavailable for use in this work. Notional parameter estimates are used to assess combat mission capability and pilot manning.
