The Hidden Burden of Hemifacial Spasm: A Systematic Review of Non‐Motor Symptoms

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of facial muscles. Traditionally regarded as a motor condition, HFS encompasses a spectrum of non‐motor symptoms that are often overlooked but significantly affect patients’ quality of life.

Independent Risk Factors for Postoperative Intestinal Obstruction and Clinical Outcomes in Simultaneous Pancreas‐Kidney Transplantation Recipients

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
Intestinal obstruction (IO) is an important but underexplored complication following simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplantation (SPKT) and is associated with considerable morbidity and both clinical and economic burdens. In this single‐center cohort study, perioperative parameters, including demographic characteristics, surgical variables, and ...

Management of patients with a neurovascular conflict involving the optic nerve and a non-diseased intracranial artery: Three cases

Brain and Spine
Introduction: Determining whether a neurovascular conflict (NVC) involving the anterior visual pathway (AVP) and a non-diseased intracranial artery is amenable for microvascular decompression is challenging.

Endoscopic microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm

Asian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2020
Introduction and Objective: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a condition, characterized by painless, involuntary unilateral tonic or clonic contractions of the facial muscles innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve. HFS starts with contractions in the orbicularis oculi muscle with subsequent eyelid closure and/or eyebrow elevation, but may ...

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects

VIEW, EarlyView.
Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.

Anastomotic Failure Is Not Affected by Anastomotic Technique in Minimally Invasive Two‐Stage Oesophagectomy

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The choice of anastomotic technique in minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIO) may influence postoperative morbidity and long‐term outcomes. The primary aim of our study is to determine whether circular (CS) or linear‐stapled (LS) anastomosis is associated with anastomotic complications following MIO.

Bowel Obstruction/Ileus Associated With the Use of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists: A Nationwide Database Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims The association between glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1RA) use and the development of bowel obstruction/ileus remains unclear, and evidence for specific bowel obstruction/ileus subtypes remains limited. We examined the association between GLP‐1RA use and the incidence of bowel obstruction/ileus subtypes across different ...

Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.

Association Between Prednisone and Delayed Facial Nerve Palsy After Acoustic Neuroma Resection

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 4033-4038, September 2026.
Discharge with an oral prednisone taper was not associated with a reduced incidence of delayed facial nerve palsy following acoustic neuroma resection, even after rigorous adjustment for confounding using inverse probability weighting. The findings do not support routine prophylactic corticosteroid use for this indication.
