Impending Respiratory Failure in Miller Fisher Syndrome: A Report of a Unique Case.
Cureus
October 2024
Critical Care, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, Colton, USA.
Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), where the body's immune system erroneously attacks its own nerves. It typically presents with a triad of symptoms: ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. These symptoms often develop rapidly, usually within a few days after a viral or bacterial infection, most commonly following respiratory or gastrointestinal illnesses.

Department of Artificial Intelligence, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Korea.
Accurate segmentation of pupil light reflexes is essential for the reliable assessment of ptosis severity, a condition characterized by the drooping of the upper eyelid. This study introduces a novel encoder-decoder network specialized in reflex segmentation by focusing on addressing issues related to very small regions of interest from an architectural perspective. Specifically, the proposed network is designed to exploit low-level features effectively by integrating a multi-level skip connection and a 1 × 1 convolution-enhanced initial encoding stage.

Ann Plast Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Faculty of Medicine and Graduate School of Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.
Background: Reconstruction of the oral modiolus should be considered for facial defects involving the lip and cheek. We have performed free flap reconstruction using a novel technique that includes a vertical and a horizontal sling for full-thickness defects involving the oral commissure.
Patients And Methods: We used a free radial forearm flap and the palmaris longus tendon to correct lip and cheek defects in 6 patients (3 men, 3 women; age, 55-84 years).
The Use of Botulinum Toxin for Nasal Esthetics: A Systematic Review.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dental School, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- Physical attractiveness often relies on facial features, particularly the nose, leading to increased interest in less invasive enhancement methods like botulinum toxin injections.
- A systematic review of literature identified 23 studies from an initial 1,139 articles, analyzing the effects of botulinum toxin on nasal aesthetics, including its ability to correct various nasal imperfections.
- Findings indicate that botulinum toxin injections are effective and safe for treating issues like drooping nasal tips, dilated nostrils, and minor deformities, although more extensive studies are needed for comprehensive understanding.
