We present a case report of vestibular dysfunction in a 39-year-old woman following hyaluronic acid injection into the ear, a relatively uncommon complication associated with this procedure. The patient exhibited symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, tongue hemiplegia, nystagmus, and gait instability immediately after the injection at the cranioauricular sulcus. Prompt administration of hyaluronidase into the sulcus anthelicis transversus and cranioauricular sulcus did not alleviate the symptoms. Subsequently, the patient required hospital admission in a wheelchair the following day. After a thorough examination and consultations with neurology and otolaryngology specialists, the patient was diagnosed with acute unilateral vestibular disease. Subsequent to comprehensive treatment focused on vestibular decompression, the patient experienced significant alleviation of symptoms and regained the ability to walk independently. The underlying mechanism of the lesion involved the accumulation of a substantial amount of hyaluronic acid in the mastoid region via the facial nerve canal, leading to its entry into the inner ear due to gravitational and pressure forces, causing vestibular dysfunction and symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, and walking instability. Understanding the anatomy in the injection area is helpful to diagnose and manage the related complications.

{"title":"Global Bibliometric Visualization of Epidermal Growth Factor in Wound Healing: A Comprehensive Literature Search.","authors":"Sa'ed H Zyoud","doi":"10.1007/s00266-025-04820-0","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00266-025-04820-0","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is essential for both wound repair and the maintenance of healthy tissues. Numerous bibliometric studies have been published on wound healing; however, none have focused on EGF in wound healing. This study comprehensively analyzed scientific publications on the role of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) in wound healing. The analysis encompassed publications indexed in the Scopus database from 1972 to 2024, retrieved using a broad range of relevant keywords. Network analysis and visualization were subsequently conducted using VOSviewer (v. 1.6.20) to map research trends and identify research hotspots. My examination of the Scopus database identified 3122 articles on the use of EGF in wound healing published over the past 48 years (1972-2024). Most of these publications were research articles (n = 2812; 90.07%), followed by review articles (n = 244; 7.82%). The number of publications on the use of EGF in wound healing has increased significantly (R²=0.9449; p < 0.001) over the years. This study revealed that, during the past ten years, there has been an increasing amount of global research on the relationship between EGF and wound healing. The effectiveness and clinical applications of human EGF and EGFR signaling in cancer-related wound healing were the main topics of our study, which focused on EGF and wound healing overall. To improve patient outcomes and enhance the efficacy of wound healing, particularly in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, this bibliometric analysis emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and collaboration in this field.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Although fat grafting has many advantages, there is limited evidence regarding its survival rates. Current studies focus on improving fat graft survival rates. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of therapeutic ultrasound (TERUS) application on fat graft survival.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study involved 42 adult male Wistar Albino rats, which were randomly divided into seven groups of six rats each: Group 1 served as the control group and received only fat grafting; Group 2 received preoperative daily TERUS for one week, followed by fat grafting; Group 3 underwent preoperative daily massage for one week, followed by fat grafting; Group 4 received preoperative daily TERUS for one week, followed by fat grafting and postoperative daily TERUS for one week; Group 5 underwent preoperative daily massage for one week, followed by fat grafting and postoperative daily massage for one week; Group 6 received postoperative daily TERUS for one week; and Group 7 received postoperative daily massage for one week.

It involves changes at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. Recently, clinical trials have provided growing evidence across various aspects of skin aging. This study provides a thorough analysis of scientific publications on clinical trials related to skin aging. It includes publications indexed in the Scopus database between 2005 and 2024, retrieved using a wide array of pertinent keywords. Following this, network analysis and visualization were performed with VOSviewer (v. 1.6.20) to map research trends and pinpoint emerging research hotspots. From 2005 to 2024, 550 publications investigated the relationship between clinical trials and skin aging. Over the past two decades, the number of publications in this field has increased significantly (R² = 0.9346; p < 0.001), from seven in 2005 to 93 in 2024. This growth can be divided into two phases: a gradual increase from 2005 to 2015, followed by a period of rapid expansion from 2016 to 2024. The United States leads with 128 publications, representing 23.27% of the total. South Korea ranks second with 81 publications (14.73%), China ranks third with 54 publications (9.82%), and Italy ranks fourth with 49 publications (8.91%). Recent studies have concentrated on several key areas, including \"topical anti-aging treatments and nutraceuticals,\" \"patient safety and satisfaction in laser and light-based therapies, with a focus on adverse effects and clinical trial findings,\" and \"clinical trials examining oral supplements for skin wrinkling and aging.\" This analysis underscores the pressing need for ongoing research and collaboration to enhance patient outcomes and the efficacy of anti-aging treatments, especially those involving topical treatments, nutraceuticals, and oral supplements.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
