Assessing Neurological Complications in Thoracic Three-Column Osteotomy: A Clinical Application of a Novel MRI-Based Classification Approach.

Study Design: Retrospective comparative study.

Objective: To investigate the occurrence of neurological complications in patients undergoing thoracic three-column osteotomy (3CO) utilizing an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based classification that assesses spinal cord shape and the presence of cerebrospinal fluid at the curve apex and evaluate its prognostic capacity for postoperative neurological deficits.

Summary Of Background Data: Recent advancements in correction techniques have improved outcomes for severe spinal deformity patients undergoing 3CO.

Complete Intradural Interbody Cage Migration in Lumbar Spine Surgery: A Case Report and Literature Review.

: Spinal fusion is a common surgery, in which vertebrae are fused to restore spinal stability and eliminate pain during movement. The use of an interbody cage facilitates spinal fusion. However, complete cage migration into the dura matter rarely occurs and can be challenging to manage.

Computed Tomography-Guided Endoscopic Surgery in Lumbar Disc Herniation With High-grade Migration: A Retrospective, Comparative Study.

Background: Symptomatic herniated intervertebral discs are debilitating. However, surgical management poses a significant challenge for endoscopic spine surgeons, especially in high-grade migrated lesions.

Objectives: This study aimed to  assess the surgical and clinical outcomes after applying a computed tomography navigated percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.

Makoplasty medial unicondylar knee replacement: Correction or postoperative angle matters?

Introduction: Various considerations prevail around optimal postoperative varus deformity, correction angle and physiological constitutional varus deformity. The goal of our present study was to understand correlation between these parameters and their influence over Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index scale (WOMAC).

Materials And Methods: Consecutive robotic-arm-assisted medial onlay fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in 143 knees studied.

Cephalometric analysis following combined Sub-SMAS hyaluronic acid injection and subdermal and supraperiosteal poly-L-lactic acid injections in Asian women.

Background: The aging face is characterized by skin laxity and volume loss. Attenuation of facial retaining ligaments significantly contributes to skin sagginess and soft tissue volume loss.

Aims: We designed a prospective cohort study to quantitatively assess the efficacy of hyaluronic acid (HA) with adjunct poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injections in strengthening the retaining ligaments.

Quantitative Outcome Assessment of Color Match and the Extent of Repigmentation after Pixel Array Epidermal Grafting for Head and Neck Stable Vitiligo: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Epidermal grafting with an automatic harvesting system has been reported as a simple and efficacious procedure for stable vitiligo. However, no prospective cohort study has quantitatively evaluated the color matching and extent of repigmentation in the head and neck area by this method.

Objective: To evaluate the color matching and extent of repigmentation after pixel array epidermal grafting by image analysis software and physicians' naked eye.

Functional recovery in human partial thickness skin wounds after application of multicomponent hydrolipidic film (MAS063DP): A prospective, open-label, comparative clinical trial.

Acute and minor skin wounds are common in daily life. However, in clinical practice, after initial management in the acute phase, the wounds are managed mainly through observation, and the patients are usually lost to follow-up. Considering a multicomponent hydrolipidic dressing (MAS063DP) long-known for its safe application in eczema and recently in laser-induced wounds, we aimed to evaluate its ability in functional recovery of impaired skin integrity during wound healing.

Photoaging Reversibility in Asian Patients With Melasma Treated Using Picosecond Lasers With a Diffractive Lens Array: A 1-Year Prospective Observational Cohort Study.

Background: Picosecond lasers appear to be effective and safe in treating pigmentation and photoaging disorders through laser-induced optical breakdown.

Objective: To analyze the feasibility of photorejuvenation using picosecond lasers with diffractive lens array (DLA) in patients with melasma.

Methods: Ten Asian (N = 10) women with melasma and Fitzpatrick skin Type IV were enrolled and treated using 755-nm picosecond alexandrite lasers with DLA.

Application of "parachute" technique for free flap reconstruction in advanced tongue cancer after ablation without lip-jaw splitting: A retrospective case study.

The hemi or subtotal/total glossectomy is usually approached by lip-jaw splitting procedure for advanced tongue cancer ablation. This highly invasive procedure can cause facial disfiguration, bone malunion, and osteoradionecrosis. The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcome in free flap tongue reconstruction between novel parachute technique in an intact jaw and the conventional lip-jaw splitting procedure after tongue cancer ablation.

Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Picosecond Alexandrite Laser with a Diffractive Lens Array for Treatment of Melasma in Asian Patients by VISIA Imaging System.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of picosecond (ps) 755-nm alexandrite laser with a diffractive lens array (DLA) generating laser-induced optical breakdown, which may be beneficial for melasma treatment. Melasma is notorious for difficult to treat with any modality setting. Recently, picosecond alexandrite laser with DLA seems promising for dealing with it without intolerable complications.
