Efficacy of electrical stimulation of the zygomaticus muscle in complete facial paralysis: evidence from facial grading and automated image analysis

European Journal of Translational Myology
Surface Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a well-studied intervention for multiple muscular disorders. However, it is still controversially discussed as a complementary therapy for complete facial paralysis.

Effect of Distal Masseter to Facial Nerve Transfer in Paralytic Patients with Preserved Facial Nerve Continuity on Improving Scaled Measurement of Improvement in Lip Excursion (SMILE): A Vectoral Analysis [PDF]

, 2020
Objective: Distal masseter-to-facial neurorrhaphy is an option to improve smile excursion in facial paralysis patients in the early period without truncating the facial nerve truncus and by ensuring the continuity of the facial nerve. This study aimed to

Retrospective cohort study evaluating patient-reported outcomes following intensive electromyography and video-biofeedback training in chronic non-flaccid facial palsy

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundChronic non-flaccid peripheral facial palsy is frequently associated with synkinesis, residual motor deficits, and reduced quality of life. Evidence-based, standardized rehabilitation protocols remain limited.

Impact of Expressive Wrinkles on Perception of a Virtual Character’s Facial Expressions of Emotions [PDF]

, 2009
Facial animation has reached a high level of photorealism. Skin is rendered with grain and translucency, wrinkles are accurate and dynamic. These recent visual improvements are not fully tested for their contribution to the perceived expressiveness of ...

Neuropsychological and Educational Outcomes in Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome—A Report From the North American Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome Registry

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive ribosomopathy characterized by bone marrow failure and multisystem involvement, with emerging evidence of associated neurocognitive impairment. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 240 individuals with biallelic Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome (SBDS) mutations

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Facial nerve stimulation as a future treatment for ischemic stroke

Brain Circulation, 2016
Stimulation of the autonomic parasympathetic fibers of the facial nerve system (hereafter simply "facial nerve") rapidly dilates the cerebral arteries and increases cerebral blood flow whether that stimulation is delivered at the facial nerve trunk or at
