Which heat process value F should a particular food receive to make it safe and shelf stable? * Section 1 lists reported sterilization values F0 = F zero (reference temperature 121.1 oC; z = 10 oC) for commercial food preservation... more
To define a safe and effective dose of Dysport for treating hip adductor spasticity. Patients with definite or probable multiple sclerosis, and disabling spasticity affecting the hip adductor muscles of both legs, were randomised to one... more
Botulinum neurotoxins induce a prolonged muscle paralysis by specifically blocking the release of neuronal transmitters from peripheral nerve junctions. Potency testing of toxin and antitoxin therapies is entirely dependent on mouse... more
This paper reviews a 12-year experience in more than 900 patients with spasmodic dysphonia who have been treated with botulinum toxin. This is a retrospective analysis of patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia (strain-strangled... more
Spasticity has been successfully managed with different treatment modalities or combinations. No information is available on the effectiveness or individual contribution of botulinum toxin type A (BTA) combined with physical and... more
This article outlines a novel approach to the underlying causes of age-related changes in the face, which are associated with the performance of its key functions (vision, breathing, eating, speech and emotion). It forms the basis of... more
Botulinum toxin has become the initial treatment of choice for the management of essential blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and other craniocervical dystonias. Numerous studies have confirmed a 90% to 95% response rate. Although a number... more
Primary palmar hyperhidrosis in children and adolescents may be severe enough to affect school and physical activities, causing emotional problems, stress in the patient's life, and a compromised quality of... more
Introduction. Phantom limb pain and sensations are common in amputees. The pathophysiology remains unclear and the treatment difficult and often unsuccessful. Opioids are frequently used when non-narcotics have failed, but are not... more
Observational data suggest that intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin A (BoTN/A) reduces symptoms and accelerates gastric emptying in idiopathic and diabetic gastroparesis. Our purpose was to determine whether botulinum toxin improves... more
Botulinum toxin (BT) prevents the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction and produces reversible paralysis of striated muscle. This effect was initially used for ophthalmologic indications, particularly strabismus. The... more
Different facial morphotypes have been described according to the soft tissue structure and characteristic aging patterns. Non-surgical correction of lower face is challenging in general, and has to be tailored according to the specific... more
Botulinum toxin A is an effective and safe treatment for perioral rejuvenation. This article explores the application of this toxin for cosmetic use in the perioral region, facial asymmetry, and improved facial wound healing. This article... more
Time-temperature data, collected during pasteurization or sterilization of a food product, can be converted to the F-value (or F0-value), received by the heated product. An F-value is an indication for the safety of the heated food, and... more
