Intramuscular Neural Distribution of the Gastrocnemius for Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection: Application to Cosmetic Calf Shaping.
Anatomical landmarks can provide vital information on the distribution of nerves in the gastrocnemius muscle. We aimed to provide an anatomical perspective on appropriate locations for botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections in the medial and lateral parts of the gastrocnemius for calf shaping. ⋯ We propose that BoNT injections should be directed to the 7/10-8/10 section of the medial head and the 7.5/10-8.5/10 section of the lateral part of the gastrocnemius. Following our guidelines, clinicians can ensure satisfactory results with the use of minimal doses to limit adverse effects, such as gait disturbance, antibody production, and bruising, due to multiple injections. The results can also be altered and applied to electromyography.

Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI): The K-TAVI Registry.
The incidence and prognostic implications of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are controversial, especially for Korean patients. Furthermore, the pattern of antithrombotic therapy for these patients is unknown. The present study sought to identify the impact of AF on Korean patients undergoing TAVI and demonstrate the status of antithrombotic therapy for these patients. ⋯ AF was an independent predictor of 1-year mortality and new pacemaker insertion in Korean patients undergoing TAVI.

Randomized Controlled TrialIntramuscular Injection of Autologous Serum in Adolescent and Adult Patients with Atopic Dermatitis: A Preliminary Randomized Clinical Trial.
The favorable clinical efficacies of intramuscular injection of autologous blood in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and intramuscular injection of autologous serum in patients with chronic urticaria have been demonstrated by randomized clinical trials. In this study, we assessed the clinical effectiveness and safety of the intramuscular injection of autologous serum in patients with AD. ⋯ Intramuscular injection of autologous serum may be effective in treating AD. Further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of this intervention for AD (KCT0001969).
