Antibacterial hydrogel: The sniper of chronic wounds

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The treatment of chronic wounds has always been an important challenge in the medical field. We focus on hydrogels not only because they provide a moist healing environment but also because compared with traditional dressings, they can effectively prevent and treat infections, reduce wound pain and scar formation.

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 ...

Surgical Management of a Cerebellopontine Angle Tumor After Sudden Onset Facial Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Patients with cerebellopontine angle tumors rarely experience acute facial weakness. In this report, we summarize a case where immediate tumor decompression after a patient presented with sudden ipsilateral flaccid facial palsy resulted in complete recovery of facial nerve function, followed by staged gross total tumor resection. Return of facial nerve

Biomaterial‐Based Emergency Intervention for Secondary Spinal Cord Injury

Small Science, EarlyView.
Emergency intervention using advanced biomaterials targets key pathological mechanisms to block secondary spinal cord injury (SCI) by inhibiting inflammation, reducing excitotoxicity, restoring the blood−spinal cord barrier, and limiting scar formation, which provides significant neural protection and promotes neural regeneration, offering promising ...

Management of xylazine toxicity, overdose, dependence, and withdrawal: A systematic review

The American Journal on Addictions, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Xylazine, an alpha‐2‐adrenergic agonist, has been increasingly implicated in substance use and overdose crises. However, little is known about its effects on humans. With the growing public health crisis surrounding xylazine, it has become important to recognize and promptly manage symptoms of xylazine toxicity ...

Avascular Necrosis and Minimal Trauma Fractures in Telomere Biology Disorders

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and Minimal Trauma Fractures (MTF) cause significant morbidity in people with Telomere Biology Disorders (TBDs). They occur more frequently in young patients and in those with autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked recessive (XLR) than in autosomal dominant (AD) genotypes.

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.
