Clinical investigation of botulinum toxin (prabotulinumtoxin A) for bruxism related to masseter muscle hypertrophy: A prospective study.

This study aims to confirm the effectiveness and safety of a prabotulinumtoxin type A (praBTX-A) injection in patients with bruxism and masseter hypertrophy. The study included patients who ground or clenched their teeth while sleeping and had computed tomography (CT) scans that showed a maximum thickness of the masseter muscle of 15 mm or more. The praBTX-A was administered bilaterally into the masseter muscles; 15 U/side for group 1, 25 U/side for group 2, and 35 U/side for group 3.

Experience in commissioning the halcyon linac.

Purpose: This manuscript describes the experience of two institutions in commissioning the new Halcyon platform. Its purpose is to: (a) validate the pre-defined beam data, (b) compare relevant commissioning data acquired independently by two separate institutions, and (c) report on any significant differences in commissioning between the Halcyon linear accelerator and other medical linear accelerators.

Methods: Extensive beam measurements, testing of mechanical and imaging systems, including the multi-leaf collimator (MLC), were performed at the two institutions independently.

Enhanced see-through near-eye display using time-division multiplexing of a Maxwellian-view and holographic display.

In this paper, we suggest the improved integration of a holographic display and a Maxwellian-view display using time-division multiplexing and describe an image rendering process for the proposed system. In general, the holographic displays have a resolution limit when used to represent a virtual 3D scene. In the proposed system, the holographic display processed relatively few layers of the virtual 3D scene, while the remaining objects were processed with a Maxwellian-view display to which was applied a Gaussian smoothing filter.

Intraoperative burn from a grounding pad of electrosurgical device during breast surgery: A CARE-compliant case report.

Rational: Burns at the site of the return electrode (i.e., grounding pad) are possible effects of electrosurgery.

Three-dimensional circumferential liposuction of the overweight or obese upper arm.

Unlabelled: Due to recent trends in liposuction, anatomic consideration of the body's fatty layers is essential. Based on this knowledge, a circumferential approach to achieving maximal aesthetic results is highlighted. In the upper arm, aspiration of fat from only the posterolateral region can result in skin flaccidity and disharmony of the overall balance of the upper arm contour.

Total nose reconstruction using superselective embolisation and a forehead flap: overlooked in recurrent massive vascular malformations of the nose.

Objectives: Massive vascular malformations of the nose cause serious cosmetic, functional and psychological problems. Generally, no single treatment modality to date has provided satisfactory results. Therefore, multidisciplinary treatment approaches are being standardised.
