Osteoporosis (OP) is a major health issue that poses a substantial challenge to public health worldwide. In recent decades, knowledge about the etiological mechanisms of osteoporosis has emphasized that bone cell homeostasis is tightly regu…

[BACKGROUND] The Col-Cap classification for cervical dystonia (CD) is proposed to optimize treatment strategy with botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A). Although this concept has been used for 15 years, the efficacy of BTX-A in various CD pattern…

Lymphedema is a chronic disorder of impaired lymphatic transport that leads to fluid accumulation, fibrosis, and adipose expansion. It presents as primary disease, caused by genetic defects in lymphatic development, or as secondary disease …

The present study aimed to introduce a novel surgical technique of constructing a septal-costal cartilage complex to correct septal caudal deviation of patients with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities (UCLND). The caudal end of the sept…

[BACKGROUND] Segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction of resulting defect can be performed via intraoral approach (IOA) or extraoral approach (EOA). Both approaches have advantages, disadvantages, indications, and contraindications to co…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] First-line therapy for most intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) is endovascular embolization, but some require microsurgical ligation due to limited endovascular accessibility, anticipated lower cur…

Pyroptosis may play an important role in the resistance of ovarian cancer (OC) to chemotherapy. However, the mechanism by which pyroptosis modulation can attenuate chemotherapy resistance has not been comprehensively studied in OC. Here, we…
