The MASK lift or subperiosteal lift of the upper and middle thirds of the face is a procedure that can be performed alone for aesthetic purposes, but can also be combined with reconstructive surgery of this region to improve the result. This procedure will enable the overall result to be enhanced in the management of complex pathologies. The aim of this article is to present the MASK lift surgical technique in detail, to explain its indications and to show that this surgical technique still has a place in our practice.

Introduction With the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple studies described a significant drop in common respiratory viruses in children with the lockdown and restrictions. With the lifting of pandemic precautions, we had the ability to observe new patterns of respiratory illnesses in children and emergency department visits. Materials and methods We studied all respiratory nucleic acid amplification test results in emergency patients from a large metropolitan children's hospital from the years 2018 to 2023.

Unlabelled: The study highlights the significant changes in respiratory virus epidemiology following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.
Method: In this single-centre retrospective study, the virological readouts of adenovirus (AdV), influenza virus A (IAV), influenza virus B (IBV), parainfluenza viruses (PIV) 1, 2, 3, 4, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and coupled enterovirus and rhinovirus (EV/RV) were extracted from the respiratory specimens of paediatric patients in Hong Kong from January 2015 to February 2024. The subjects were stratified into five age groups.

Lithography is critical in micro- and nanofabrication processes, enabling the development of integrated circuits, semiconductor devices, and various advanced electronic and photonic systems. However, there are challenges related to sustainability, efficiency, and yield, as well as compatibility with transient electronics. This work introduces a sustainable lithography paradigm employing mechanically peelable resists compatible with existing cleanroom processes.

Introduction: Hypoxemia is a common complication of sedation. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV) in preventing hypoxemia during sedative procedures.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared SJOV with conventional oxygen therapy in sedated patients were searched in five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], and Google Scholar) from their inception to March 2024.
