Effect of Breast Silicone Implant Topography on Bacterial Attachment and Growth: An Study.
[BACKGROUND/AIM] The mechanisms underlying capsular contracture remain unclear. Emerging evidence supports the inflammation hypothesis, according to which bacteria from an adherent biofilm cause chronic inflammation and collagen deposition …

A Murine Model of Hemodialysis Access-related Hand Dysfunction.
Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem, and the prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring chronic renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis continues to increase. Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) p…

50% effective concentration of sevoflurane for immobility in cerebral palsy children undergoing botulinum toxin injection.
[BACKGROUND] This prospective study aimed to determine the optimum end-tidal sevoflurane concentration required for immobility during botulinum toxin injection in spontaneously breathing children with cerebral palsy (CP). [METHODS] Twenty-…

Use of Three-Dimensional Imaging to Assess the Effectiveness of Volume as a Critical Variable in Breast Implant Selection.
[BACKGROUND] In breast augmentation, breast base diameter has been recognized as an important variable in implant selection. However, breast implant volume also has a tremendous impact on the final result. Previous methods of preoperative v…

Desflurane and remifentanil anesthesia in a child with citrin deficiency: A case report.
[RATIONALE] Hyperammonemia, metabolic derangement, and/or the prolonged effects of anesthetics may lead to delayed emergence from general anesthesia as well as the onset of type 2 citrullinemia, even in compensated patients with citrin defi…

Efficacy and safety of equine cartilage for rhinoplasty: a multicenter double-blind non-inferiority randomized confirmatory clinical trial.
[BACKGROUND] The efficacy and safety of equine cartilage as a competent xenograft material for rhinoplasty were evaluated and compared to the outcomes of rhinoplasty using silicone implants. [METHODS] We performed a multicenter, double-bli…

An active endoscope with small sweep volume that preserves image orientation for arthroscopic surgery.
[BACKGROUND] Microsurgery is generally performed in narrow spaces with limited movement. Endoscopes that allow for angle changes have been developed using elastic materials, but they require a large bending space. We propose a new endoscope…

Successful Treatment of Auricular Dystonia by Unilateral Pallidothalamic Tractotomy.
[BACKGROUND] Ear movement disorders are rarely reported. Although some patients may respond to botulinum toxin injections, reports on surgical treatment options remain limited. [CASE REPORT] A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with auricular…

Multifocus Thermal Strain Imaging Using a Curved Linear Array Transducer for Identification of Lipids in Deep Tissue.
Thermal strain imaging (TSI) is an ultrasound-based imaging technique intended primarily for diseases in which lipid accumulation is the main biomarker. The goal of the research described here was to successfully implement TSI on a single, …

Transformation of Mature Osteoblasts into Bone Lining Cells and RNA Sequencing-Based Transcriptome Profiling of Mouse Bone during Mechanical Unloading.
[BACKGROUND] We investigated RNA sequencing-based transcriptome profiling and the transformation of mature osteoblasts into bone lining cells (BLCs) through a lineage tracing study to better understand the effect of mechanical unloading on …

Quantity and characteristics of flap or graft repairs for skin cancer on the nose or ears: a comparison between Mohs micrographic surgery and plastic surgery.
One benefit of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is maximal tissue sparing compared to standard excisional surgery techniques. It also has the highest statistical cure rate for appropriately selected nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) in cosmet…

Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection for Cervical Dystonia in Adults with Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy.
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of injecting botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) into the neck muscles to treat cervical dystonia (CD) in patients with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (CP). This was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-contr…

Posture-Dependent Dysphagia After Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection at Sternocleidomastoid in a Patient With Athetoid Cerebral Palsy.
Cervical dystonia is a common issue in patients with athetoid cerebral palsy. Botulinum toxin injection to dystonic cervical muscles is a well-recognized treatment option, but it is known to be associated with dysphagia. Previously reported…

Improved Estimation of Ultrasound Thermal Strain Using Pulse Inversion Harmonic Imaging.
Thermal (temporal) strain imaging (TSI) is being developed to detect the lipid-rich core of atherosclerotic plaques and presence of fatty liver disease. However, the effects of ultrasonic clutter on TSI have not been considered. In this stu…

The Short Scar Periareolar Inferior Pedicle Reduction Mammaplasty: Management of Complications.
Breast reduction is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed on the breast. There are now numerous alternatives to the standard inverted-T inferior pedicle technique. The short scar periareolar inferior pedicle reduction …
