Objective: This study aimed to evaluate an improved park's technique to create a natural double eyelid and reduce scar formation.

Methods: The levator aponeurosis, orbicularis oculi muscle, and dermis were fixed using subcutaneous intermittent sutures, and then the skin and the levator aponeurosis were sutured. Postoperative evaluation included double-eyelid stability, symmetry, double-eyelid curve, scar formation, and patient satisfaction.

Results: Between January 2021 and August 2021, a total of 89 patients (178 eyes) underwent double-eyelid blepharoplasty by the same surgeon using this improved technique. The mean follow-up period was 15.5 months (range 10 to 18 months). Seventy-six patients were very satisfied with this surgical method, six patients were rather satisfied, and seven patients were dissatisfied. The overall satisfaction rate was 92.1%.

Conclusion: This new blepharoplasty method generates a stable, natural double-eyelid line with minimal scarring.

Despite recent advancements in organic photovoltaics (OPVs), further improvements in power conversion efficiency (PCE) and device lifetime are necessary for commercial viability. Strategies such as optimizing the molecular orientation and minimizing the charge traps of organic films are particularly effective in enhancing photovoltaic performance. In this study, we successfully utilized vacuum electrospray deposition (VESD) to achieve favourable face-on stacking geometries while preserving the integrity of the interfaces in poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT): [6,6]-phenyl-C-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films.

Background: Depression adversely affects health outcomes in patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematous (cSLE). By identifying patients with depressive symptoms, we can intervene early with referrals to mental health resources and improve outcomes. The aim of our quality improvement project was to increase and maintain rates of standardized depression screening for youth with cSLE seen within our pediatric rheumatology clinic.

Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, Soonchunhyang University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Hyperuricemia and gout may be associated with OSA, but large-scale studies on this are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between hyperuricemia/gout and OSA using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES).

This study aimed to identify radiotherapy dosimetric parameters related to local failure (LF)-free survival (LFFS) in patients with lung and liver oligometastases from colorectal cancer treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). We analyzed 75 oligometastatic lesions in 55 patients treated with SBRT between January 2014 and December 2021. There was no constraint or intentional increase in maximum dose.

Motivation: Skeletal muscle cells (skMCs) combine together to create long, multi-nucleated structures called myotubes. By studying the size, length, and number of nuclei in these myotubes, we can gain a deeper understanding of skeletal muscle development. However, human experimenters may often derive unreliable results owing to the unusual shape of the myotube, which causes significant measurement variability.
