This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 53 studies and 1354 patients evaluates the outcomes of temporalis muscle transfer in facial nerve paralysis. Our results show that temporalis muscle transfer can restore smile asymmetry, oral commissure movement, and eyelid closure—findings that are translated to clinician‐rated assessments.

Ear Piercing Complications: Comparing Cartilage and Soft Tissue Piercings in a Large Survey Cohort
Cartilage ear piercings were associated with significantly higher complication rates than lobule piercings and remained an independent predictor of complications after multivariate analysis. Cartilage site also independently predicted piercing removal, with higher removal rates observed compared to lobule piercings.

Polymerized Pro‐Estrogen Microneedles via Two Photon Polymerization
Acrylic pro‐drugs of 17β‐estradiol were subjected to spatially controlled two‐photon polymerization to create bespoke microneedle geometries with potential biomedical applications for long‐term transdermal hormone delivery. ABSTRACT Two‐photon polymerization (TPP) is a powerful technique to create microscale structures with high precision, offering ...
