Anatomical Insights on the Cervical Nerve for Contemporary Face and Neck Lifting: A Cadaveric Study.

Background: Despite the significant roles it plays in the functions of the platysma and lower lip, the cervical branch of the facial nerve is often overlooked compared to other branches, but its consideration is critical for ensuring the safety of neck surgeries.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to clarify the anatomical discrepancies associated with the cervical branch of the facial nerve to enhance surgical safety.

Methods: The study utilized 20 fresh-frozen hemiheads.

Deep Neck Contouring: Indications and Techniques.

A deep comprehension of key anatomical issues, along with the targeted application of suitable therapies, is vital for attaining exceptional neck contours. Traditional surgical approaches often focus solely on modifying subcutaneous fat and, occasionally, the platysma muscle, neglecting subplatysmal structures. This narrow focus may yield less-than-ideal results and potentially exacerbate existing issues, leading to additional contour abnormalities that prove challenging to correct.

Comparative Assessment of Gait and Balance in Patients with Parkinson's Disease and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.

Objectives: We aim to compare balance and gait parameters in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

Methods: A total of 13 patients with NPH, 20 with PD, and 13 healthy controls (HC) recruited in the study. Three IMU sensors (Ambulatory PD Monitoring Inc.

Double Pylorus Presenting with Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Rare Case Report.

Double pylorus is one of the rare endoscopic findings consisting of two communication channels between the gastric antrum and the first part of the duodenum. It has no specific signs and symptoms. It is usually detected incidentally during endoscopic examination performed with nonspecific dyspeptic complaints such as epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloating.

Investigation of Factors Affecting the Side of the Disease Onset in Parkinson's Disease.

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that starts unilaterally in almost all cases and tends to emerge on the side of the dominant hand, but what we know about the cause of this lateralization is limited. Frequent use of the extremity and physical activity are argued to be protective from PD in preclinical and clinical studies. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of handedness and working in occupations that require continuous use of upper extremities on the disease onset-side.

Face and Neck Lift Options in Patients of Ethnic Descent.

Despite the propensity for humans to classify themselves into separate ethnoraces, the stigma of aging eventually appears in all. The mobile superficial musculo-aponeurotic system is a key area of change across all ethnicities and can be rejuvenated most effectively when the cutaneous retaining ligaments of the face and neck are fully released. The extended facelift techniques are logically the most effective in achieving this.

The clinical use of impulse oscillometry in neuromuscular diseases.

Background: The patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) are very fragile and it is hard to evaluate respiratory involvement of the primary disease in this group. Therefore, our study aimed to reveal the relationship between pulmonary function tests (PFT) and impulse oscillometry (IOS) and their correlation with respiratory clinical findings in NMD.

Material And Methods: A total of 86 consecutive patients with NMD were included.

Facelift Techniques: An Overview.

Facelift techniques can be classified according to the depth and extent of the dissection applied. Imbrication and plication of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) referred to as "SMAS lifts" or "classical facelifts" are the most commonly used techniques. Plication techniques involve in-folding of the SMAS and suture suspension without any SMAS incision whereas imbrication techniques involve a SMAS incision with a portion of the SMAS either removed or transposed with or without limited sub-SMAS dissection.

Enigma of COVID-19: is "multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults" (MIS-A) predictable?

Background: Severe inflammation and one or more extrapulmonary organ dysfunctions have been reported and this clinical picture is defined as "multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults" (MIS-A) in severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to determine the effect of LDH/lymphocyte ratio (LLR) on the development of MIS-A.

Methods: The data of 2333 patients were retrospectively analyzed.

The hepato-renal protective potential of walnut seed skin extract against acute renal ischemia/reperfusion damage.

Acute kidney damage is defined as a sudden change in kidney functions that prevents the removal of nitrogenous wastes from the body, thus disrupting the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. When acute kidney injury occurs, the kidneys and liver are most affected in the body. Agents used in the treatment of acute kidney injury often have nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory properties that can produce toxic effects on the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys.

Acute-Onset Hemiparkinsonism Secondary to Subacute-Chronic Subdural Hematoma.

Subdural hematomas constitute rare causes of secondary Parkinsonism in elderly. Subacute or chronic subdural hematomas occur in the elderly following minor head trauma or even without a remarkable history of trauma. A 69-year-old woman admitted with a rapidly progressive acute-onset hemiparkinsonism on the left side of her body.

How do Physicians Manage Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder and Somatic Symptom Disorder in the Emergency Department? A Vignette Study.

Introduction: We aimed to explore how physicians from different specialties approach the management of functional neurological symptom (conversion) and somatic symptom disorders in the emergency department compared with pulmonary embolism and how physicians' professional and personal characteristics influence their diagnostic preferences.

Methods: Using a vignette methodology, and cross-sectional design, three emergency department case vignettes of possible functional neurological symptom, somatic symptom disorder, and pulmonary embolism were presented to physicians from internal medicine, emergency medicine, and psychiatry. A structured survey including questions on diagnosis and management of these cases, and physicians' professional and personal characteristics (childhood trauma, attachment style) was conducted.

Inula graveolens induces selective cytotoxicity in glioblastoma and chronic leukemia cells.

Objective: Crude oil extracts, components of extracts, and ethanolic extracts of Inula graveolens possess various pharmacological activities on various cancer cells including antioxidative and antiproliferative effects. Aqueous extract of this species has not been investigated on the liquid malignancies and solid tumors with a high incidence of treatment refractoriness and poor survival outcomes such as glioblastoma and leukemia. Hence, the present study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic efficiency of I.

Supporting Equity and Inclusion of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals in Professional Organizations.

Disability is an important and often overlooked component of diversity. Individuals with disabilities bring a rare perspective to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) because of their unique experiences approaching complex issues related to health and disability, navigating the healthcare system, creatively solving problems unfamiliar to many individuals without disabilities, managing time and resources that are limited by physical or mental constraints, and advocating for themselves and others in the disabled community. Yet, individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in STEMM.

Visual clarity of irrigants used during flexible ureterorenoscopy: an in vitro comparison.

Introduction: Saline solution is the standard irrigant used during ureteroscopy. However, there is an opinion that water has better visual clarity. We aimed to compare the visual clarities of saline, water, and 5% mannitol as an irrigant during ureteroscopy.

Intrinsic Auricular Muscle Zone Stimulation Improves Walking Parameters of Parkinson's Patients Faster Than Levodopa in the Motion Capture Analysis: A Pilot Study.

It has been demonstrated that intrinsic auricular muscles zone stimulation (IAMZS) can improve the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are examined with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor scores. In the present pilot study, using motion capture technology, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of IAMZS compared to medication alone or in combination with medication. Ten PD patients (mean age: 54.
