Adjunctive Botulinum Toxin Type A for Bruxism and Sweat‐Worsened Facial Blistering in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Case Series

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Capsule Summary Bruxism and sweat‐induced facial blisters can affect patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) quality of life (QoL). We present the outcomes of orofacial BTX‐A infiltrations to treat these conditions. Three patients with severe RDEB, bruxism and microstomia received BTX‐A infiltrations (50U‐100U) in masseters and ...

Outcomes and Innervation of Gracilis for Pediatric Facial Paralysis: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review compares innervation techniques for gracilis free muscle transfer in pediatric facial paralysis. Masseteric innervation produced the greatest commissure excursion, cross‐facial nerve grafting enabled spontaneous smiles, and dual innervation balanced both with high satisfaction and low complication rates across techniques ...

The Laryngeal Auditory Startle Reflex (LASR): A New Component of the Auditory Startle Response

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The auditory startle reflex contains a distinct laryngeal component, termed the laryngeal auditory startle reflex (LASR). In healthy adults, the LASR is modulated by supratentorial influences and habituates to repetitive stimuli. Physiologic and pathologic implications for the LASR as a component of the overall human SR remain to be determined but may ...
