A Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial to Determine Effects of Increasing Doses and Dose-Response Relationship of IncobotulinumtoxinA in the Treatment of Glabellar Rhytids.

Background: IncobotulinumtoxinA is an effective neuromodulator for treating glabellar rhytids. The relationship between dose and reduction in rhytid severity is well established. However, the effects of escalating doses on the treatment duration response are less understood.

A Randomized, Blinded, Prospective Clinical Study Comparing Small-Particle Versus Cohesive Polydensified Matrix Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for the Treatment of Perioral Rhytids.

Background: Perioral rhytids are a bothersome sign of aging for many patients. Although multiple treatments exist, choosing an optimal modality may be difficult considering that rhytids in this region are fine and the anatomy dynamic.

Objectives: The authors sought to compare the efficacy and safety as well as patient satisfaction of a small-particle hyaluronic acid filler with 0.

Practice patterns in high-risk bariatric venous thromboembolism prophylaxis.

Background: In the morbidly obese population that undergoes bariatric surgery, venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Certain factors place a patient at higher risk for VTE. No consensus exists on VTE screening or prophylaxis for the high-risk patient.

Fine mapping of the alpha-T catenin gene to a quantitative trait locus on chromosome 10 in late-onset Alzheimer's disease pedigrees.

Using plasma amyloid beta protein (Abeta42) levels as an intermediate, quantitative phenotype for late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), we previously obtained significant linkage at approximately 80 cM on chromosome 10. Linkage to the same region was obtained independently in a study of affected LOAD sib-pairs. Together, these two studies provide strong evidence for a novel LOAD locus on chromosome 10 that acts to increase Abeta42.
