Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Electrolytes in Denervated and Reinnervated Muscle
SummaryThe content of potassium expressed in relation to non-collagenous protein nitrogen is normal even 20 days after denervation in muscles of the rat. Following denervation only the intracellular muscle phase decreases. The drop in K content (K/muscle) and FFDS (weight/muscle) reaches 50%.

ABSTRACT Bariatric surgery is increasingly performed in adolescents and young adults. Although sleeve gastrectomy preserves intestinal continuity and is often regarded as nutritionally low‐risk, it can still precipitate micronutrient deficiency, and obesity itself predisposes to thiamine deficiency, which can cause both Wernicke encephalopathy and a ...

Electrical stimulation enhances reinnervation after nerve injury
Electrical muscle stimulation following peripheral nerve injury has been a controversial method of treatment due primarily to the inconsistent literature surrounding it.

Diabetic Polyneuropathy Patients Exhibit an Altered Skeletal Muscle Proteome Phenotype
ABSTRACT Purpose Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is a debilitating complication of diabetes that affects motor nerves and may impair skeletal muscle health. This study investigated skeletal muscle proteomic alterations associated with DPN compared with type 2 diabetes without DPN (T2D) and healthy controls (CON).

ABSTRACT Background Unilateral vocal cord palsy (UVCP) significantly affects phonation and swallowing. While injection laryngoplasty and medialisation thyroplasty are effective, both may require revision. Vocal Implant System (VOIS; APrevent Biotech GmbH) is an adjustable titanium‐silicone thyroplasty implant that allows postoperative modification ...

Ets2 Is an Activity‐Dependent Transcriptional Regulator of a Fast‐Twitch Muscle Program
Ets2 is a transcription factor rapidly (24 h) upregulated in skeletal muscle by fast 150 Hz, but not slow 20 Hz, stimulation patterns. Ets2 selectively translocates to nuclei of slow soleus muscle when stimulated by fast‐patterned, but not slow‐patterned, activity. Ets2 binds to a consensus DNA sequence in the troponin I fast intronic enhancer (TnIFIRE)

The Feasibility of Outpatient Type I Thyroplasty with Laryngeal Reinnervation
Type I thyroplasty has increasingly been performed on an outpatient basis. Laryngeal reinnervation is recognized for its long-term and functional benefits but is typically performed inpatient under general anesthesia. Herein we report the first published

Corneal reinnervation to treat neurotrophic keratopathy
Patients lacking corneal sensation develop neurotrophic keratopathy (NK). NK is characterized by recurrent breakdown of the corneal epithelium, resulting in scarring of the cornea and permanent vision loss.
