Background: The movement disorder known as hemifacial spasm is characterized by involuntary contractions of the muscles that are innervated by the facial nerve. The treatment of choice for this condition is botulinum toxin injections.
Objective: To analyze the botulinum toxin dosage in patients undergoing treatment for hemifacial spasm during a 14-year period.

Background: Trauma-focused psychotherapy is treatment of choice for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, about half of patients do not respond. Recently, there is increased interest in brain criticality, which assesses the phase transition between order and disorder in brain activity.

There has been concern raised in religion/spirituality (R/S) research about the use of measures of spirituality that are contaminated by indicators of mental and/or social health. Many of these scales are used widely in published studies examining associations with health, and yet many researchers and reviewers are not aware of contamination issues. We have previously cautioned researchers to be careful in their choice of religious/spirituality (R/S) measures (Koenig and Carey in J Relig Health, 63(5):3729-3743.

Maturation of αβ lineage T cells in the thymus relies on the formation and cell surface expression of a pre-T cell receptor (TCR) complex, composed of TCRβ chain and pre-TCRα (pTCRα) chain heterodimers, giving rise to a diverse T cell repertoire. Genetic aberrations in key molecules involved in T cell development lead to profound T cell immunodeficiency. Definitive genetic diagnosis guides treatment choices and counseling.

Chronic pain is a prevalent and debilitating condition whose neural mechanisms are incompletely understood. An imbalance of cerebral excitation and inhibition (E/I), particularly in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), is believed to represent a crucial mechanism in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Thus, identifying a non-invasive, scalable marker of E/I could provide valuable insights into the neural mechanisms of chronic pain and aid in developing clinically useful biomarkers.
