Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Background Concomitant medications (CMs) influence outcomes in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), but their impact in sarcoma remains undefined. We assessed the association between CM use and ICI outcomes in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma. Methods This pooled analysis included patients from seven investigator‐

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle

A new landmark and modification of the standard inferior alveolar nerve block injection
, 2017 Nerve block anesthesia is employed to serially block the inferior alveolar (IA), mylohyoid, and lingual nerves. Success rates range broadly (13-98%). To improve IA success rates we test a new landmark that is stable and consistently visible in the oral ...

Effect of Malocclusion on Response to Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 3, June 2026.As hypoglossal nerve stimulation grows in popularity, it is of high importance to continue to follow outcomes in an effort to further identify factors that impact treatment success. In this study, we found that malocclusion was associated with lower rates of success with hypoglossal nerve stimulation.

Incidence of penetration of a blood vessel during inferior alveolar nerve block
, 2003 Aspiration of the syringe after the needle had been placed in position for an inferior alveolar nerve block (but before the anaesthetic solution was injected) in 250 patients showed that the tip of the needle was in a blood vessel in 49 (20%). Aspiration

Comparative study of two needle models in terms of deflection during inferior alveolar nerve block
, 2014 Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the possible differences in deflection between two needles of same length and external gauge but with different internal gauges during truncal block of the inferior alveolar nerve. The initial working
