A high clinically translatable strategy to anti-aging using hyaluronic acid and silk fibroin co-crosslinked hydrogels as dermal regenerative fillers.
An ideal dermal filler should integrate filling, repair, and anti-aging effects, with immediate tissue augmentation, slow degradation, and progressive stimulation of collagen regeneration. However, commonly used hyaluronic acid (HA) hydroge…

Botulinum toxin as an adjunct for severe Dupuytren's contracture treated with collagenase injections.
Even with Dupuytren's proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) contractures successfully released, volar flexor muscle memory can contribute to persistent contracture. We report using botulinum toxin (BoNTA) to the flexor digitorum superficial…

Reduction of self-mutilating behavior and improved oromotor function in a patient with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome following botulinum toxin injection: A case report.
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a genetic metabolic disorder often involving dystonia and self-mutilating behavior. This case report describes a 13-year-old boy with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and self-mutilating behavior who received botulinum toxin inj…

Treatment of acute acquired concomitant esotropia.
[BACKGROUND] The treatment efficacy of botulinum toxin bilateral medial rectus injections for acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) in adult is not clear. We characterize the effects of botulinum toxin injection in the treatment of AA…

sEH promotes macrophage phagocytosis and lung clearance of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have potent antiinflammatory properties. Hydrolysis of EETs by soluble epoxide hydrolase/ epoxide hydrolase 2 (sEH/EPHX2) to less active diols attenuates their antiinflammatory effects. Macrophage activation…

Botulinum Toxin Injections for Leg Contouring in East Asians.
[BACKGROUND] A common aesthetic concern among East Asian women is enlarged calves. Although surgical resection has been a traditional treatment option, botulinum toxin injections into the gastrocnemius muscle are an emerging, noninvasive al…

Effect of Preoperative Patient Education on Opioid Consumption and Well-Being in Breast Augmentation.
[BACKGROUND] Perioperative use of opioids is common in surgical practice and frequently results in troublesome opioid-related side effects that often lead to suboptimal postsurgical outcomes. As such, multiple studies have sought to identif…
