Abstract There has been widespread coverage of cosmetic procedures, particularly facial fillers, as minimally invasive options for rejuvenation. The authors' objective was to characterize news media's fillers and its role in shaping public perception these products over the past decade. Public view plays a significant policymaking, assisting patient communication, addressing preconceived notions. Google News searched online related “facial fillers” from 2008 2017. articles various sources...

Stimulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) initiates RAS signaling simultaneously with EGFR internalization. Endocytosed is then either recycled or degraded. fate determined in part by the effector RIN1, a guanine nucleotide exchange (GEF) for RAB5 GTPases. degradation was slowed RIN1 silencing, enhanced overexpression and accelerated localization to plasma membrane. also directly activates ABL tyrosine kinases, which regulate actin remodeling, function not previously connected...

We evaluate National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding support for OM research examine the role otolaryngology primary investigators (PIs). Study Design Examination bibliometrics history NIH grant recipients. Methods The RePORTER database was examined PIs funded otitis media–related projects. specialty, education level, academic department, scholarly impact (as measured by h‐index ),...

A decision tree was constructed to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of grafting techniques used prevent Frey Syndrome. The authors performed a sensitivity analysis calculate what probability preventing Syndrome would have be and maximum costs associated with using warrant their use as more "cost-effective" choice than neither. Decision pathways utilized were uses (1) free fat graft (FFG), (2) acellular dermis, (3) no grafting. developing syndrome extracted from...

Background: Despite its popularity among otolaryngology residents, there is currently a paucity of knowledge on the match in facial plastics surgery fellowships and selection criteria that drive process. To increase understanding this process to improve manner which candidates are vetted, survey study was designed. Methods: A 24-question online designed discern desired qualities regarding fellow selection, interview processes, participation, program director satisfaction with current This...

American football is a popular high-impact sport, leading to 2.7 million injuries in the United States annually. Recent evidence football-related neurological damage has spurred national interest player-safety. Football players injure their head and neck up 26% of total injuries. Variation injury patterns between age groups correlated hospitalizations for yet be characterized.Our aim evaluate among American-football related trauma.A retrospective cohort study patients with National...
