Case report: Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia.

Microvascular decompression is safe, effective, and micro-invasive. Due to these advantages, it has become the mainstream treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm. Initially, microvascular decompression was performed under a microscope, which limited the light source and visualization capabilities.

Case report: Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression for glossopharyngeal neuralgia.

With the advances in endoscopic technology, endoscopy is widely used in many neurosurgical procedures, such as microvascular decompression, which is an effective method to treat glossopharyngeal neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and facial spasm. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of fully endoscopic microvascular decompression in the treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia. We managed a patient with glossopharyngeal neuralgia in our department, whose main clinical manifestation was recurrent left ear and facial pain for 3 years.

Columnar Iridium(III) Metallomesogens Based on Polycatenar Pyridyltetrazolate with Ambipolar Carrier Mobility Behavior.

In this paper, we have designed and synthesized a series of neutral liquid-crystalline iridium(III) complexes based on polycatenar 2,5-diphenylpyridine and pyridyltetrazolate derivatives. Iridium(III) complexes all display highly emissive behavior with photoluminescence quantum yields in the range of 0.45-0.
