Ramsay Hunt syndrome a case report and review of literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This is a case report of a rather rare disorder i.e. Ramsay Hunt syndrome.  This is caused by Varicella zoster infections involving geniculate ganglion of facial nerve.  This syndrome is manifested by the presence of blebs in the external auditory canal,

Exploring Functionally Enhanced BLP‐Trained Macrophage Subpopulations in S. Aureus Infection: Underlying Mechanisms and Therapeutic Significance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
BLP‐trained macrophages show augmented resistance to infection, but their mechanisms remain unclear. scRNA‐seq identified 13 BMDM subsets, with two novel anti‐inflammatory/antibacterial subpopulations (C5/C7) emerging post‐BLP training. BLP training activates NRF2, attenuates oxidative stress/ferroptosis, and boosts glycolysis/OXPHOS. Adoptive transfer

Clinical insights on Tolosa Hunt syndrome: a multidisciplinary approach on neurological-related symptomatology in maxillofacial region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Tolosa–Hunt syndrome (THS) related neurological symptoms are described in literature as “unilateral”, “recurrent”, “episodic”, “intense”, “severe”, “lancinating” or “stabbing” pain on the upper face and forehead and may be misdiagnosed ...

Region Based Parallel Hierarchy Convolutional Neural Network for Automatic Facial Nerve Paralysis Evaluation

open access: yesIEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering, 2020
In this article, we propose a parallel hierarchy convolutional neural network (PHCNN) combining a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network structure to quantitatively assess the grading of facial nerve paralysis (FNP) by considering the region-based ...

Mechanical Force Storage and Reprogramming Hydrogel for Scarless Repair of Sports Joint Wounds

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the energy conversion of tendons, the “energy transit station” hydrogel is designed. The hydrogel not only shields stress concentration in sports injuries, but also reprograms energy forms to provide reasonable biomimetic contraction for wounds.

Reanimation of the paralyzed lids by cross-face nerve graft and platysma transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Alterations of facial muscles may critically humper patients' quality of life. One of the worst conditions is the reduction or abolition of eye blinking.

Enhancing Surgical Efficiency and Cost‐Effectiveness With TaTME‐Combined Robot‐Assisted Surgery for Lower Rectal Cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted rectal surgery (RAS) offers improved dexterity and visualization; however, the high cost of equipment and consumables remains a major challenge for hospital management. At our institution, we have adopted a combined approach using transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for lower rectal cancers, aiming to shorten ...

Basic fibroblast growth factor helps protect facial nerve cells in a freeze-induced paralysis model.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Severe axonal damage in the peripheral nerves results in retrograde degeneration towards the central side, leading to neuronal cell death, eventually resulting in incomplete axonal regeneration and functional recovery.
