Simplifying the injector's armamentarium: An international consensus regarding the use of gel science to differentiate hyaluronic acid fillers and guide treatment recommendations.

Background: The Restylane portfolio of soft tissue fillers spans a wide range of indications, due in part to their complementary manufacturing technologies [non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) and Optimal Balance Technology (OBT/XpresHAn)]. Using an array of products, injectors can achieve a holistic, natural looking effect for their patients. However, with a wide range of products it may be difficult to choose an optimal combination.

Revolutionizing Neck Rejuvenation: ABO Botulinum Toxin A Solution in Multipoint Technique and NASHA Gel Skinbooster.

Background: Neck rejuvenation is an increasingly sought-after cosmetic procedure that offers a versatile solution to address various aging-related concerns in the neck area. Because it is non-surgical, it is an appealing choice for both patients and practitioners. This protocol introduces a highly effective approach utilizing ABO Botulinum Toxin A solution and NASHA gel 12 mg/mL for neck rejuvenation, targeting patients with muscle hypertonicity and skin degeneration.

Real-World, Retrospective, Multicenter, Observational Study on the Use of the First Liquid AbobotulinumtoxinA in Italy.

Introduction: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggested that liquid formulation of botulinum toxin type A (aboBoNT-A) is safe and effective, but data confirming these characteristics in a real-life heterogenous set of patients are currently lacking. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the ready-to-use aboBoNT-A solution in adults with moderate-to-severe glabellar wrinkles.

Methods: In this real-life, multicenter, retrospective, observational study, healthy adults were treated at baseline only with aboBoNT-A solution on the glabellar area and followed up for 24 weeks.

Individualized Treatment Algorithm Using Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for Lifting, Contouring and Volumizing the Midface.

Purpose: Patients seeking treatment for the midface are individuals with different objectives and characteristics of skin and soft tissue. In this study, patients were treated in the midface with one of three products with different properties; HA, HA, or HA, using a treatment algorithm based on primary need for treatment (volumizing, lifting or contouring) and tissue coverage (thin or thick tissue). The aim was to optimize the treatment outcome and to provide an individualized treatment approach that distinguishes different types of patients seeking midfacial treatment.

Hyaluronic acid-based two-stage medical therapy to unfold the aged face: The centrifugal approach.

Background: Facial aging is a multifactorial process characterized by structural changes to the dermis and ligaments, lipoatrophy in the fat pads and hypodermis, remodeling of the bony skeleton, change in muscle tonicity and tissue descent.

Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a hyaluronic acid-based treatment for the aging face that addresses all its causes in a caudal to cranial and medial to lateral direction: the centrifugal technique.

Methods: Between March 2015 and January 2018, 187 patients were treated with a high G' hyaluronic acid in two sessions, one/two weeks apart, to improve signs of facial aging, starting from the lower centrofacial area and progressing laterally and cranially.

Nonsurgical treatment of earlobe aging in Mowlavi stages I and II earlobe ptosis with Hyaluronic acid fillers.

Background: Earlobe deflation caused by fat atrophy is normally treated with lipofilling, mostly in the context of facelift surgery. In this report, we aim at reporting on Hyaluronic Acid injections to treat earlobe deflation.

Materials And Methods: 16 Mowlavi Grade I and II patients were treated with HA injections, followed by molding to shape the lobule.

Injectable Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid as a Skin Quality Booster: An Expert Panel Consensus.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is used extensively in aesthetic medicine thanks to its documented role in skin rejuvenation. The specific applications of HA-based products are not always fully acknowledged due to a lack of consistent recommendations. In this paper, the authors have summarized available published data on the range of applications of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA®) gel skin boosters (NSBs) in several anatomical areas and types of patient, as well as their own recommendations.

Colorectal cancer screening practices in Saskatchewan: Survey of family physicians.

Objective: To evaluate current colorectal cancer (CRC) screening practices in Saskatchewan and identify barriers to screening with the goal of improving current practice.

Design: Survey of family physicians.

Setting: Saskatchewan.

Thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma with concurrent thyroid carcinoma: a case report.

Introduction: Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is a very rare finding and its presentation is similar to that of a benign cyst, which is a relatively common developmental abnormality that may manifest as a midline, neck mass. In general the diagnosis of thyroglossal duct carcinoma is based on the pathologic examination of the mass, but needle aspiration cytology, ultrasound and computed tomography play a role in the differential diagnosis of malignancy.

Case Presentation: A further case of thyroglossal duct carcinoma and concurrent thyroid carcinoma with locoregional lymph node metastases affecting a 40-year-old woman followed up for 4 years is presented and discussed.
