Split-face double-blind study comparing the onset of action of onabotulinumtoxinA and abobotulinumtoxinA.

Objective: To report and discuss the outcome of a prospective, internally controlled, randomized, double-blind, split-face study comparing the onset of action of 2 commercially available botulinum neuromodulators.

Methods: Ninety individuals with moderate-to-severe lateral orbital rhytids were treated with onabotulinumtoxinA, 10 U, and abobotulinumtoxinA, 30 U, for the treatment of lateral orbital rhytids. Participants were assessed live with a validated 5-point photographic scale before treatment and on days 2, 4, and 6 after treatment.

An internally controlled, double-blind comparison of the efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA and abobotulinumtoxinA.

Objective: To compare 2 commercially available botulinum neuromodulators in a randomized, double-blind, split-face study.

Methods: Ninety patients were treated with 10 U of onabotulinumtoxinA and 30 U of abobotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of lateral orbital rhytids. Patients were assessed live with a validated 5-point photographic scale prior to treatment and at 30 days.

Maxillary removal and reinsertion: a favorable approach for extensive anterior cranial base tumors.

Objective: To analyze the long-term results and the complications related to an expanded series of maxillary removal and reinsertion (MRRI) with 18-year surgical experience.

Study Design: Case series with chart review of the MRRI patients in the last 18 years.

Setting: The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

Pins and needles: minimally invasive office techniques for facial rejuvenation.

The desire for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation has continued to increase from the perspective of both the patients and injectors. For successful rejuvenation, it is important to understand the anatomic changes of the aging face as well as the properties of available neuromodulators and soft tissue fillers. The injector should be knowledgeable of the advantages and disadvantages of each product.

Patterns of recurrence and survival of head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma after definitive resection.

Objectives/hypothesis: To determine factors impacting recurrence and long-term survival of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the head and neck after definitive resection.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study at an academic tertiary care hospital.

Methods: Patients with ACC of the head and neck treated at our institution were reviewed.

Training otologic surgical skills through simulation-moving toward validation: a pilot study and lessons learned.

Introduction: Methods for surgical education and training have changed little over the years. Recent calls to improve surgical efficiency and safety impose additional pressures that have an impact on surgical education and training. USE OF SIMULATION: Integration of data from advanced imaging technologies and computer technologies are creating simulation environments of unprecedented realism.
