“Barbie Botox”: The Systematic Review of a Popular Trend
Injectable agents have formed the cornerstone of the modern cosmetic surgery practice.1,2 Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) inhibits the release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft, resulting in temporary muscle paralysis with clinical effects generally lasting 2 to 6 months.3 since its approval in 2002 for treatment of glabellar facial lines, BTXA has since expanded to include off-label treatments for a variety of other cosmetic as well as neuromuscular conditions and its injection is now the most frequently performed cosmetic procedure in the United States.

Food-borne botulism from homemade sauce leading to cardiac arrest: A family case series with literature review
Toxicon. 2023 Oct 21:107326. doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2023.107326. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFood-borne botulism is a rare but potentially fatal illness. Its management depends on rapid diagnosis and prompt antitoxin administration. However, diagnosing food-borne botulism can be challenging at an early stage. Here, we report a 62-year-old male with food-borne botulism. The patient presented with extremity muscle weakness, dyspnea, bilateral droopy eyelids (more significant on the right side), dysarthria, and progressive dysphagia. The electromyography indicated presynaptic membrane abnormalities. The toxicology screen re...

Perspectives and challenges in lip rejuvenation: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: In conjunction with perioral rejuvenation, lip rejuvenation procedures produce more aesthetically appealing results. However, any cosmetic surgical or non-surgical procedure is limited by the nature and composition of the products used. The use of FDA-approved products for rejuvenation is strongly advised to avoid undesirable side effects. Further extensive research is required on the long-term outcomes and adverse effects of stem cell transplants, such as tumor development.PMID:37843317 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202310_33929 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Unilateral Hypofunction of the Masseter Leads to Molecular and 3D Morphometric Signs of Atrophy in Ipsilateral Agonist Masticatory Muscles in Adult Mice
Int J Mol Sci. 2023 Sep 29;24(19):14740. doi: 10.3390/ijms241914740.ABSTRACTMice are commonly used to study mandibular dynamics due to their similarity in chewing cycle patterns with humans. Adult mice treated unilaterally with botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) in the masseter exhibit atrophy of this muscle characterized by an increase in the gene expression of atrophy-related molecular markers, and a reduction in both muscle fiber diameter and muscle mass at 14d. However, the impact of this muscle imbalance on the non-treated masticatory muscles remains unexplored. Here, we hypothesize that the unilateral masseter hypofuncti...
