Jointless Tongue‐Like Bioactuator for Multidirectional Motion Through Directional Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A tongue‐like bioactuator is developed using orthogonally aligned cultured skeletal muscle tissues. By applying directional electrical stimulation of varying strengths, the actuator achieves jointless, multidirectional movements. The device features a fully soft, skeleton‐free design, enabling biomimetic deformation and functional actuation, and offers

Infantile‐Onset Ascending Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia due to a Homozygous ALS2 Exons 24–25 Deletion: Expanding the Genotypic Spectrum

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a novel homozygous intragenic deletion in the ALS2 gene in an 8‐year‐old boy with Infantile‐onset Ascending Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (IAHSP) and oculomotor apraxia, thereby contributing to the expanding genetic landscape of ALS2‐related disorders.

Chronic pneumopathy secondary to swallowing disorder in a patient with mitochondrial myopathy

Iatreia, 2019
Introduction: Chronic lung disease secondary to dysphagia is a frequent complication in patients with neuromuscular diseases. Mitochondrial myopathies could lead to progressive lung damage due to chronic aspiration syndrome. Clinical case: Seven-year-

Respiratory Involvement in HIST1H1E‐Related Rahman Syndrome: A Case of Severe Mixed Apnea

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rahman syndrome (HIST1H1E‐related neurodevelopmental syndrome, OMIM #617537) is a rare autosomal‐dominant condition caused by truncating variants in the C‐terminal domain of the HIST1H1E gene. It is characterized by macrocephaly, hypotonia, craniofacial anomalies, and multisystem anomalies.

Differential roles of EA‐TRAPed cells in the anterior cingulate cortex across various intervention times in inflammatory pain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The cumulative effect of EA analgesia is partially attributed to the activation of EA‐TRAPed cells in ACC. Multiple EA sessions and single EA sessions activated different neuronal populations in the ACC. The enhanced analgesic effect of multiple EA sessions may be attributed to an increase in the proportion of GABAergic neurons within the ACC. Abstract

Intranasal Seletracetam in a Patient with Reading Epilepsy: First‐in‐Human Use to Prevent Reflex Seizures

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
We report the first human use of intranasal seletracetam (SEL) to prevent reflex seizures. A patient with epilepsy with reading‐induced seizures on levetiracetam (3,000 mg/day) continued to experience reading‐induced focal seizures with preserved consciousness.

Measurement of respiratory–swallowing coordination using an oronasal facemask in healthy individuals

Experimental Physiology
Respiratory–swallowing coordination (RSC) is well established as an essential airway‐protective mechanism. Previous studies have used nasal airflow and/or kinematic rib cage and abdominal measures to assess respiration surrounding swallowing, meaning ...
