Autonomous Navigation in Large‐Scale Underground Environments Based on a Purely Topological Understanding of Tunnel Networks

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...

Vascular Supply of Laryngeal Paragangliomas: Case Report and Systematic Review

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Laryngeal paragangliomas are rare, highly vascularized, neuroendocrine tumors. Although surgical resection of these vascular neoplasms is associated with a known risk of significant hemorrhage, the vascular supply of laryngeal paragangliomas has been poorly characterized. Data Sources MEDLINE Ovid, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar.

Dysphagia Is Associated With Need for Surgical Voice Restoration in Unilateral Vocal Fold Immobility

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the association between patient‐reported dysphagia symptoms, measured by the Eating Assessment Tool‐10 (EAT‐10), and the need for surgical voice restoration in patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility (UVFI). Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted on adult patients (≥ 18 years) diagnosed with UVFI at a ...
