The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of oxymatrine (OMT, C15H24N2O2) in a murine model of cigarette smoke (CS)‐induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. A COPD model was established in mice through prolonged exposure to CS, followed by intraperitoneal administration of OMT (50 mg/kg)

Is Ophthalmology Consult Needed for Acute Orbital Fractures?
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Failure to recognize concomitant ocular injury in orbital fracture patients is a feared consequence of evaluation in the acute setting. These injuries and their accompanying functional sequelae range in severity, and reconstructive surgeons need to be sensitive to the possibility of major ocular injuries that could potentially have serious ...

Postoperative Fluoroscopic Appearance After Flexible Endoscopic Zenker's Diverticulotomy
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.We perform a retrospective study on patients undergoing flexible Zenker's diverticulotomy surgery and report changes in the objective fluoroscopic appearance as well as patient‐reported outcome measures. ABSTRACT Objective Flexible approach to treating Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) has gained traction in recent years. However, objective measures comparing
