New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Is a Red Flag to Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer Failure in Head and Neck Cancer Patients.
[BACKGROUND] Postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) has been shown to be associated with increased surgical morbidity and mortality following cancer ablation surgery. However, evidence of new-onset AF's impact on surgical outcome…

Botulinum toxin A combining with robot-assisted bimanual therapy integrating mirror therapy versus botulinum toxin A combining with robot-assisted bimanual therapy in patients with post-stroke spastic fingers: a randomized controlled pilot trial.
[BACKGROUND] Finger spasticity, which worsens hand function, is common in stroke patients. Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) treatment is effective in relieving spasticity but has little effect on arm-hand capacity. The adding of a rehabilitation …

Differential outcomes of jaw bone position after surgical-orthodontic treatment in three types of skeletal Class III asymmetry patients.
[BACKGROUND/PURPOSE] Facial asymmetry is common in Class III patients requiring orthognathic surgery. This study aimed to analyze jaw bone position after surgical-orthodontic treatment in three types of skeletal Class III asymmetry patients…

Using the deformity index of vital structures to predict outcome of patients with large vestibular schwannomas after Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
[PURPOSE] Microsurgery is the mainstay of treatment for large vestibular schwannomas (VS), but the benefits of radiosurgery remain incompletely defined. Here, we aim to use automated volumetric analysis software to quantify the degree of br…

Chest pain in a heart transplant recipient: A case report.
[BACKGROUND] Heart transplantation is recommended for the treatment of patients with refractory heart failure. Chest pain after heart transplantation is usually considered noncardiac owing to the denervated heart. However, data from case re…

The Effects of Distributed vs. Condensed Schedule for Robot-Assisted Training with Botulinum Toxin A Injection for Spastic Upper Limbs in Chronic Post-Stroke Subjects.
Robot-assisted training (RT) combined with a Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection has been suggested as a means to optimize spasticity treatment outcomes. The optimal schedule of applying RT after a BoNT-A injection has not been defined. Th…

Predictors of Clinically Important Improvements in Motor Function and Daily Use of Affected Arm after a Botulinum Toxin A Injection in Patients with Chronic Stroke.
Identifying patients who can gain minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in active motor function in the affected upper extremity (UE) after a botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection for post-stroke spasticity is important. Eighty-eigh…

Pulmonary hemorrhagic infarction due to fat embolism and thromboembolism after maxillofacial plastic surgery: a rare case report.
Pulmonary fat embolism (PFE) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) are common post-operative complications of orthopedic surgical procedures, but are reported less often following maxillofacial plastic surgical procedures, especially with res…
