Successful Treatment of Severe, Poorly Controlled Benign Essential Blepharospasm with DaxibotulinumtoxinA.
Benign essential blepharospasm is a focal dystonia characterized by involuntary contractions of the orbicularis oculi. Botulinum toxin type A injections are often first-line treatment, but patients may experience refractory symptoms or decr…

Successful treatment of super-refractory focal status epilepticus: Surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, and botox for epilepsia partialis continua.
Super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a life-threatening condition characterized by persistent seizures lasting beyond seven days despite anesthetic therapy. Managing SRSE is challenging, particularly in cases resistant to conventio…

Orbital floor reconstruction via autologous radial forearm free flap with palmaris longus tendon.
We describe reconstruction of the orbital floor following suprastructure maxillectomy for resection of maxillary squamous cell carcinoma utilizing an osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap and palmaris longus tendon.…

The extended submuscular fibroadipose tissue (SMFAT) resection and ladder suture technique for patients with a puffy SMFAT upper eyelid.
[BACKGROUND] In East Asians, a common method to ameliorate puffy eyelids is to resect the excess orbital fat and the orbicularis. However, in some patients, a satisfactory improvement cannot be achieved because of the thick submuscular fibr…

Local retro-orbicularis oculus fat (ROOF) resection in upper blepharoplasty: A retrospective evaluation study of 65 bilateral upper blepharoplasties.
[BACKGROUND] Puffy upper eyelids are normal in Asians, and full-incision blepharoplasty is commonly performed to remove some orbital fat to ameliorate the problem, but not all patients would exhibit obvious improvement. Local retro-orbicula…

Myostatin propeptide gene delivery by gene gun ameliorates muscle atrophy in a rat model of botulinum toxin-induced nerve denervation.
[AIM] Muscle atrophy is a common symptom after nerve denervation. Myostatin propeptide, a precursor of myostatin, has been documented to improve muscle growth. However, the mechanism underlying the muscle atrophy attenuation effects of myos…
