[OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated the natural history of giant cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) over 6 cm and compared long-term outcomes of interventional treatment versus conservative management. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Patien…

[BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS] Comparison of the therapeutic effects of endoscopic botulinum toxin (BTX) injection and semaglutide (SME) injection in treatment of patients with obesity and weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (L…

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), an inflammatory subtype of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), drives hepatic dysfunction and poses a significant health burden. Lipophagy dysfunction disrup…

[OBJECTIVE] Alveolar bone augmentation with corticotomy is commonly used in orthodontic treatment for patients with insufficient alveolar bone, which can increase the amount of alveolar bone, facilitate and accelerate tooth movement. Howeve…

ObjectivesThis study was conducted to identify the risk factors for free flap outcomes in head and neck reconstruction.MethodsA retrospective review of 318 free flaps were used for head and neck reconstructions in 317 patients over seven ye…

[BACKGROUND] Surgical resection for hypervascular central nervous system tumors poses a significant challenge for neurosurgeons. Controversy remains about the effect and safety of the traditional therapeutic mode, which combines preoperativ…

[PURPOSE] To investigate the short-term efficacy of modified plate reconstruction and tubularization urethroplasty for posterior hypospadias. [MATERIAL AND METHOD] We retrospectively collected the clinical data of posterior hypospadias pat…

Scalp reconstruction following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) presents significant challenges when defects are complicated by radiation, extensive defect size and depth, and the use of implants. As a result, free flap reconstruction may pr…

[OBJECTIVE] Single-stage surgery combining embolisation and microsurgery has been increasingly used as a stand-alone procedure to cure complex AVMs. This study aimed to investigate the learning curve and embolisation strategy for single-sta…

[BACKGROUND] The nose, eyebrow, and forehead are critical elements of the T-zone, vital for enhancing facial three-dimensionality. Many Asians seek a more contoured and sculpted facial appearance by T-zone augmentation. The novel poly-L-lac…

[BACKGROUND] Drooping mouth corner may lead to a sad, tired or aging appearance, which could be corrected by injection of botulinum neurotoxin. In the article, we describe a novel "cross injection" technique for mouth corner lift with botul…

[BACKGROUND] The midcheek groove, a diagonal wrinkle in the infraorbital and infrazygomatic regions, disrupts the entire midface smooth lines and impacts facial aesthetics. Despite current treatments' limited effectiveness, including hyalur…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections have been widely used for improving facial aesthetics. Although the procedure is generally safe, immune-mediated adverse events, such as hypersensitivity reactions and secondar…

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), produced by the anaerobic spore-forming bacterium Clostridium botulinum, are among the most potent known biological toxins. BoNTs cause lethal botulism via contaminated food, wound infections, or infant intest…

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…

[OBJECTIVE] We reviewed the efficacy of dextrose prolotherapy versus placebo and other active interventions, like autologous blood injection (ABI) and botulinum toxin (BTX), in improving the outcomes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) hypermo…

(1) Background: As an innovative drug derived from botulinum neurotoxin serotype E, TrenibotulinumtoxinE demonstrates a rapid onset and shorter effect. Due to concerns regarding specificity, test throughput, and animal welfare, a new cell-b…
