Complications, Treatment, and Outcomes of Self-Injecting Substances Into the Face: A Systematic Review.

Background: The increased demand for minimally invasive facial cosmetic procedures in tandem with the ease of acquiring injectable cosmetics through direct-to-consumer retailers has led to a rise in self-injecting cosmetics among untrained individuals.

Objective: To analyze complications, treatments, and outcomes associated with self-injecting fillers into the face.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature from PubMed and Embase databases was performed from inception to September 10, 2022, to identify studies pertaining to self-injection of facial fillers.

Outcomes and complications of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair with pars plana vitrectomy in young adults.

Background: Scleral buckling has been the standard for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair in young patients given the typical lack of posterior vitreous detachment, phakic status, and lower risk of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. In older patients, pars plana vitrectomy alone is typically used for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. We report the outcomes and complications of pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in young eyes.

Quality of life in patients with craniosynostosis and deformational plagiocephaly: A Systematic Review.

Background: Craniosynostosis is a bony dysmorphism of the calvarium due to premature suture fusion and is classified as syndromic (part of congenital syndrome) or nonsyndromic (isolated). Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is due to external positional forces on the skull after birth. This review aims to investigate the various quality of life (QoL) metrics across syndromic, nonsyndromic and DP patients.
