[BACKGROUND] The surgical management of vestibular schwannoma (VS) has shifted focus from mortality reduction to functional preservation and quality of life. While the traditional microscopic retrosigmoid approach is the gold standard, it s…

Hypertrophic scarring is characterized by excessive dermal fibrosis and irregular collagen metabolism, mediated by fibroblasts derived from keloids. This condition typically arises from improper wound healing after deep burns, trauma, or su…

The repair of mandibular defects is challenging due to the functional and structural complexity of the mandible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the learning curve of mandibular reconstruction using a vascularized iliac crest free fla…

[OBJECTIVE] The vascularized iliac crest free (VICF) flap has been a cornerstone in maxillofacial reconstruction for decades. This study aims to provide a framework for guiding and managing maxillofacial reconstruction using the VICF flap, …

Subretinal injection is a critical procedure for delivering therapeutic agents to treat retinal diseases such as inherited retinal diseases (IRD) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, retinal motion caused by physiological fa…

Mandibular reconstruction is vital in oral and maxillofacial surgery to restore aesthetics and function after tumor resection or trauma. The iliac crest-free flap (ICFF) and fibula-free flap (FFF) are widely used, but their cost-effectivene…

Mandibular gingival squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC) is a challenging malignancy often requiring extensive surgical resection and complex reconstruction. This study presents a 69-year-old male with left mandibular GSCC, treated with segmental…

[BACKGROUND] Atrophy of the masseter muscle can result in an aged facial appearance and diminished chewing function. Electrical stimulation (ES) is known for its ability to facilitate tissue healing and functional recovery, but its precise …

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 …

[OBJECTIVE] There is a strong relationship between masticatory muscle atrophy and condyle degeneration. Although electrical stimulation (ES) is an effective treatment for muscle atrophy, its influence on the underlying condyle is unclear. T…

[BACKGROUND] Although the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) has been shown to vary depending on injection layer, reconstitution volume, and BoNTA formulation, the effect of injection pattern has rarely been mentioned. The authors c…

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been recommended in various neurological disorders as a useful tool for alleviating dystonia. In Wilson disease (WD) patients with dystonia, BoNT-A injection can be used as a treatment modality when conve…

[PURPOSE] Our research mainly evaluates the clinical efficacy of two surgical methods in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) at ARCO stage II, aiming to provide optimal hip-preserving treatment of ONFH. [METHOD] From …

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is an established therapy for limb spasticity and focal limb dystonia. Comparative benefits of injection guidance procedures have not been rigorously studied. [OBJECTIVES] We compared 2 ta…

To discuss the value and technique of clip remodeling in microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms via keyhole approaches. The clinical data of patients with intracranial aneurysms, who were treated by microsurgical clipping via ke…

[OBJECTIVE] Botulinum toxin serotype A (BoNT/A) was reported to raise the seizure threshold when injected into the seizure focus of a kindled rodent model. Delivering BoNT/A to the nonhuman primate (NHP) central nervous system via convectio…

[BACKGROUND] Writer's cramp (WC) is a form of focal hand dystonia, for which focal botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections are the current best therapy. Past studies have shown that some types of rehabilitative therapy can be useful. We hypo…

Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP), which occurs in most patients with hemiplegia, causes considerable distress and worsens outcomes in rehabilitation. Although they have received the treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs or physical thera…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess the benefit of intra-articular injection of Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) for chronic refractory joint pain regardless of joint or pathology. [DATA SOURCES] The search was performed on Ovid MEDLINE(R) In-Process and Othe…

[INTRODUCTION] Muscle spasticity is a positive symptom after stroke and traumatic brain injury. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection is widely used for treating post stroke and traumatic brain injury spasticity. This study aimed to eva…

[OBJECTIVES] To evaluate current evidence of the effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX) injection for lower limbs spasticity after stroke. [METHODS] Ovid MEDLINE(R) In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations，Ovid MEDLINE(R), Ovid EMBASE, W…

[STUDY DESIGN] Exploratory case-control study. [INTRODUCTION] Writer's cramp (WC) is a type of focal hand dystonia. The central nervous system plays a role in its pathophysiology, but abnormalities in the affected musculoskeletal component…

This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms of acupuncture in the remission of depression. A depressive disorder model was induced by exposing Sprague-Dawley rats to chronic unpredictable stress. The rats were divided into five …

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the current evidence of the effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX) treatment for shoulder pain. [DATA SOURCES] Ovid MEDLINE In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Web of Science, and …

[BACKGROUND] Although meticulous technique cannot guarantee a superior cosmetic result when repairing skin wounds or excising skin lesions, a well planned and executed repair reduces the risk of unsatisfactory scarring. [OBJECTIVE] This ar…
