[OBJECTIVE] Meige syndrome is a complex movement disorder characterized by blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia that is often resistant to conventional pharmacological and botulinum toxin treatments. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) offers …

[OBJECTIVE] The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of perioperative opioid prescription and the development of new persistent opioid usage in patients prescribed perioperative opioids for common otolaryngological procedur…

Minimally invasive osteotomy and precise root-end resection are key factors in endodontic microsurgery (EMS), particularly in the mandibular molars. Autonomous robotic (ATR) systems facilitate accurate presurgical planning and real-time rob…

[BACKGROUND] Skeletal muscle-to-bone crosstalk may play critical roles in the association between muscle atrophy and bone loss. Here, we report a myokine, IL-33, which may mediate muscle-to-bone crosstalk. [METHODS] A cohort study was cond…

Botulism is a severe muscle paralysis disease mediated by the botulinum toxin. Here, we reported a foodborne botulism case caused by subtype A5(b3) from self-packaged vacuum spicy rabbit heads. Treatment for this case was delayed due to mi…

[BACKGROUND] Microglia pyroptosis, a newly identified form of inflammatory cell death, is involved in the development of neuropathic pain (NP). Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) has been shown to be effective in relieving NP, but the mechanism…

Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors…

[BACKGROUND] Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) often present with haemorrhage, but the optimal timing for microsurgical intervention remains unclear. This study aims to explore how intervention timing relates to neurological outcome…

[BACKGROUND] Surgical risk assessment is intriguing for clinical decision-making of brainstem cavernous malformation (BSCM) treatment. While the BSCM grading scale, encompassing size, developmental venous anomaly, crossing axial midpoint, a…

[BACKGROUND] A poor evidence basis exists regarding directly comparing objective and subjective donor-site morbidity associated with the forearm flap. The authors evaluated the postoperative donor-site complications and quality-of-life outc…

[OBJECTIVE] Craniocervical junction arteriovenous fistulas (CCJ-AVFs) are complex vascular shunts that present a challenge for treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of microsurgery and endovascular embolizati…

[INTRODUCTION] Recent advancements in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) treatment have highlighted the efficacy of botulinum toxin (BoNT). However, inconsistencies in injection sites and depths warrant attention. It remains unclear which injectio…

[OBJECTIVE] Depressed scarring is a common complication after incisional upper blepharoplasty and frequently contributes to patient dissatisfaction. Correcting this deformity presents a significant challenge for oculoplastic surgeons. This …

[BACKGROUND] Diced cartilage (DC) plays an integral role in rhinoplasty, and its application is well established in nasal dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty as a diced cartilage framework (DCF). [METHODS] Fifteen patients requiring nasal dors…

[BACKGROUND] It has been shown in previous studies that botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) can effectively relieve the motor symptoms of Meige syndrome. However, its effect on non-motor symptoms (NMS) and quality of life (QoL) has not been comp…

[BACKGROUND] Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common mental disorder that happens comorbidly with other diseases. Headache is a common anxiety comorbidity. Previous reports have shown that the selection of therapeutic drugs for GAD p…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting has gained increasing popularity used in plastic surgery as a strategy to improve functional and aesthetic outcome. However, variable augmentation results have concerned surgeons in that volume loss of g…

[BACKGROUND] Abnormally high eyelid fold is a common unsatisfactory esthetic outcome after double eyelid surgery. At present, successful correction of high eyelid fold among Asians remains one of the most challenging procedures for eyelid p…

[BACKGROUND] The debate on thread rhinoplasty (TR) has never stopped owing to its complications. However, few studies have reported the clinical characteristics of TR complications, as well as their treatment. [AIMS] We aim to summarize th…

The light-driven micro/nanomotor (LMNM) is machinery that harvests photon energy and generates self-propulsion in varieties of liquid media. Though visions are made that these tiny swimming machines can serve future medicine for accurate dr…

[BACKGROUND] Having posthospital syndrome (PHS) at the time of an elective surgery increases the risk of postoperative adverse outcomes. The purpose of this article was to identify incidence and risk factors for having PHS at the time of ab…

There has been an increasing interest in addressing the issue of submental fat (SMF) when it comes to cosmetic medicine. With the rise of social media, video calls, and the now almost omnipresent accessibility of cameras, there is perhaps n…

[BACKGROUND] Posthospital syndrome (PHS) is a transient condition after acute hospitalizations when patients are physiologically deconditioned. The objective of this study was to determine if having PHS at the time of abdominal contouring s…

[INTRODUCTION] Although considered as an aseptic surgery, infection after prosthesis-based mammoplasty represents the leading cause of morbidity after reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Antibiotic prophylaxis is supported by several stud…
