Surgically Induced Subacute Antiepileptic Effect of Vagus Nerve Stimulation before Stimulation Onset
Objective: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established adjunctive therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Although its long-term efficacy after electrical activation is well recognized, transient seizure reduction has occasionally been observed immediately after implantati...

Poly-L-Lactic Acid Attenuates Fibrotic Remodeling During Cutaneous Wound Healing
Pathological hypoxia following cutaneous injury is a critical driver of wound chronicity and fibrotic remodeling. The nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2 (NSD2)/lysine demethylase 2A (KDM2A)–histone H3 lysine 36 dimethylation (H3K36me2) axis is a known regulator of hypo...
Bolus‐Only Versus Bolus‐Plus‐Infusion Tranexamic Acid for Trauma: A Propensity Score‐Matched Study
BACKGROUND: The CRASH-2 regimen for tranexamic acid (TXA) consists of a 1-g intravenous bolus followed by a 1-g infusion over 8 hours. The maintenance infusion may be challenging to administer during the early phase of trauma resuscitation. We compared mortality outcomes between...

Virtual Surgical Planning-Guided Correction of Hemifacial Microsomia With Inverted-L Osteotomy
Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) produces facial asymmetry involving the skeleton and overlying soft tissues, and skeletal correction may leave residual soft-tissue deficiency. We report a 23-year-old woman with left HFM (Pruzansky-Kaban type IIb; OMENS-Plus O0M2E1N0S2), maxillary occ...

Longitudinal visual tracking of nail lesions using a deep learning-based EMR-integrated platform
This study proposes and evaluates an EMR-integrated, artificial intelligence (AI)-based platform for the image-level classification and longitudinal visual tracking of nail lesions in real-world clinical workflows. Because the morphology and extent of nail lesions often change ov...

Artificial Intelligence for Esophageal Precancerous Lesions and Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is associated with a relatively poor prognosis. Early detection and diagnosis are important for the survival and prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer. Recently, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in clinical medicine has...

Prediction of Anemia in Adenomyosis Patients Using Transvaginal Ultrasound Radiomics
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) caused by adenomyosis can result in significant iron-deficiency anemia. Given that transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is commonly performed during routine examinations, its assessment may facilitate preemptive treatment. Methods: In this st...
