Background And Objectives: Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is commonly conducted under a microscope. We report a large series of fully endoscopic MVDs for HFS and describe our initial experience with 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopy.
Methods: Clinical data of 204 patients with HFS who underwent fully endoscopic MVD using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy (191 and 13 patients, respectively) from July 2017 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

The integrin family of extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion receptors plays a central role in platelet function, including adhesion and aggregation. In resting platelets, integrins exist in a low-affinity state for their ligands, and are activated upon ligand binding to the extracellular domain or binding of cytoplasmic proteins such as talin to the intracellular β-tail. Talin function is regulated through autoinhibition, which reduces its integrin-activating function.

In live specimens of the nemertodermatidan Flagellophora apelti Faubel and Dörjes, 1978, a peculiar organ looking like a fascicle of bristles-and so called a broom organ by its discoverer-occupies the front third or so of the body. The animal can extrude the organ to splay the bristles in a fan-like array, each bristle having an adhesive tip. Described first by light histology as a bundle of flagella, this organ can be seen by transmission electron microscopy to be actually a bundle of exceedingly long necks of glands.
