October 2019
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of botulinum toxin (BTX) at the Yonsei point for the treatment of gummy smile (GS). A total number of 45 female patients were enrolled in the study at a private clinic over a period of 24 months. Three units of onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) per site (90 hemifacies) were initially injected at the Yonsei point.

- The study aimed to examine the relationship between skip metastases and the thickness and size of tumors in tongue carcinoma patients.
- A total of 33 patients were analyzed over a six-year period, with findings showing that 75% had lymph node metastasis, primarily at levels I and II.
- The results indicated that the likelihood of skip metastasis increases with both tumor thickness and size, with tumor thickness being a stronger predictor.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of two types of neck dissection (selective vs. superselective) in patients with N0 neck, focusing on shoulder function, recurrence rates, and quality of life.
- A randomized trial with 20 adult patients was conducted, assessing arm abduction and quality of life before and after surgery, with follow-up for locoregional recurrence over 2.5 years.
- Results indicated that superselective neck dissection led to better shoulder function, higher quality of life scores, and lower recurrence rates compared to selective neck dissection.
Background: To evaluate the role of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of pain associated with nocturnal bruxism.
Material And Methods: Fifty subjects reporting nocturnal bruxism were recruited for a randomized clinical trial. Twenty five bruxers were injected with botulinum toxin in both masseters, and twenty five were treated with traditional methods of treating bruxism.
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by defective DNA repair leading to clinical and cellular hypersensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and carcinogenic agents. Important clinical features are: Intense cutaneous photosensitivity, xerosis, poikiloderma, actinic keratosis, acute burning under minimal sun exposure, erythemas, hyperpigmented lentiginous macules, and malignant lesions in sun-exposed areas, including basocellular carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. There is a great involvement of many parts of the body, especially head and neck.

Classical HH is associated with mutations in HFE (C282Y homozygotes or C282Y/H63D compound heterozygotes) and is almost exclusively found in populations of northern European descent. Non-HFE-associated HH is caused by mutations in other recently identified genes involved in iron metabolism.
