How I Do It: Nasoseptal Flap for Reconstruction of Isolated Soft Palate Defect
A vascularized nasoseptal flap (NSF) provides a novel transnasal option for repairing soft palatal fistulas when traditional transoral flaps have failed or are unavailable, potentially avoiding the morbidity of regional or free tissue transfer. In the current patient who had an 8 × 6 mm soft palatal fistula, the NSF was harvested from the septum and ...

Nasolabial Flap in Oncologic Oral Cavity Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
The nasolabial flap provides a reliable local reconstructive option for selected small‐ to oncologic oral cavity defects, with low flap‐related complications and minimal donor‐site morbidity. Outcomes should nevertheless be interpreted according to defect characteristics, flap design, and the predominantly retrospective nature of the available evidence.

EHR‐Integrated Synoptic Operative Reporting for Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery
EHR‐integrated synoptic operative templates for head and neck oncologic surgery was developed and implemented at a tertiary academic cancer center. Departmental adherence rose from 49% to nearly 80% over 6 months, and 94.5% of reviewed cases met targets for complete, internally consistent documentation. The resulting structured data dictionary provides

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Recent Advances in Cryogel Applications for Musculoskeletal Regeneration
ABSTRACT Hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering due to their high‐water content and biocompatibility, yet their densely cross‐linked microstructure inherently limits cell infiltration, mass transport, and mechanical support. Cryogels, formed through partial freezing and crosslinking under subzero conditions, provide unique 3D macroporous
