Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars (CROSS) is a minimally invasive, safe, and cost effective technique for the management of ice pick acne scars that are otherwise generally resistant to treatment. 100% trichloro acetic acid (TCA) is usually applied using toothpicks and the end point is white discoloration of skin. The concentrated caustic agent quite often spills onto surrounding normal skin leading to superficial burns and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Use of 27-gauge tuberculin syringe gives a much more controlled access to apply TCA leading to better cosmetic outcome and fewer adverse effects.

Contralateral botulinum toxin injection to improve facial asymmetry after acute facial paralysis.

Hypothesis: The application of botulinum toxin to the healthy side of the face in patients with long-standing facial paralysis has been shown to be a minimally invasive technique that improves facial symmetry at rest and during facial motion, but our experience using botulinum toxin therapy for facial sequelae prompted the idea that botulinum toxin might be useful in acute cases of facial paralysis, leading to improve facial asymmetry.
Background: In cases in which medical or surgical treatment options are limited because of existing medical problems or advanced age, most patients with acute facial palsy are advised to await spontaneous recovery or are informed that no effective intervention exists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin treatment for facial asymmetry in 18 patients after acute facial palsy who could not be optimally treated by medical or surgical management because of severe medical or other problems.
Safety profile of anterior chamber paracentesis performed at the slit lamp.

Academic Unit of Ophthalmology, School of Immunity and Infection, College of Medical and Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK.
Background: Anterior chamber paracentesis is a valuable diagnostic tool in the management of uveitis, but may be underutilized because of concerns over its safety. We evaluated the safety profile of anterior chamber paracentesis performed at the slit lamp as an outpatient procedure.
Design: Retrospective, observational case series in a single tertiary centre.

A small amount of fluid is usually present in the space between the posterior surface of the silicone oil bubble and the retinal surface in silicone oil-filled eyes. A new technique is described for sampling this fluid using a 27-gauge cannula mounted on an empty tuberculin syringe that is connected to a 10-mL syringe through tubing.
