The public yearning for cosmetic procedures is stronger now than ever before. More and more doctors from various specialties are performing these procedures. Because muscular facial activity is one of the major forces responsible for the formation of wrinkles, an intimate knowledge of facial muscular anatomy is necessary to consistently produce successful clinical outcomes. The author provides an intricate review of the anatomy of the muscles of facial expression and their relevance to cosmetic facial surgery.

New generation low level laser effect on masseter muscle oxygenation, bite force and algometric changes in myofacial pain syndrome: a randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Lasers Med Sci
January 2025
University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of different types of low level laser treatment (LLLT) in reducing pain levels, changing oxygen saturation and bite force in patients with myofacial pain syndrome (MPS). 45 patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 (GRR laser, n = 15) received LLLT with Gallium-Aluminium-Arsenide (GaAlAs) diode laser with a wavelength of 904 nm and red laser with a wavelength of 650 nm over masseter muscle region. Group 2 (Nd: YAG laser, n = 15) were treated with Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm and the same protocol with Nd: YAG laser was performed in the Group 3 (placebo, n = 15) using sham device.

Despite its importance, our understanding of human-specific craniofacial developmental mechanisms and their genetic underpinnings remains limited. Here, we present a comprehensive single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) atlas of human craniofacial development from craniofacial tissues of 24 embryos that span six key time points during the embryonic period (4-8 post-conception weeks).

Phys Ther Res
September 2024
Department of Neurology, Hokkaido Neurological Hospital, Japan.
Objective: To verify the efficacy of smile training in improving gait disturbances in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibiting neuropsychiatric symptoms.
Methods: A single-case BAB design with three intervention periods (B1, A1, and B2) was used. During periods B1 and B2, 10 min of smile training (facial muscles training and positive thinking training) was performed before the usual exercise therapy.
The Role of Nutrition and Nutritional Supplements in the Prevention and Treatment of Malnutrition in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Current Approaches in Nutrition Therapy.
Curr Nutr Rep
January 2025
Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose Of Review: Malnutrition is a significant comorbidity in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), contributing to disease progression and reduced quality of life. This narrative review examines the role of nutritional therapy in the prevention and management of malnutrition in COPD, emphasizing evidence-based approaches and their clinical implications.
Recent Findings: COPD patients face increased metabolic demands, systemic inflammation, and reduced dietary intake, resulting in muscle wasting, sarcopenia, and cachexia.
