A Novel Missense Variant in LMX1A Leads to Autosomal Dominant Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a prevalent entity associated with over 150 known causative genes, including LMX1A, which has fewer than 10 reported pathogenic variants. Here we present a novel missense variant in LMX1A in a family of European descent with hereditary hearing loss. Clinical and family histories were obtained, and

Clinical Presentation of the Longest Reported Living Individual With Bent Bone Dysplasia—FGFR2‐Related

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The FGFR2 gene, encoding the FGFR2 protein, plays a crucial role in embryonic cell development, particularly in bone tissue. Bent Bone Dysplasia (BBD), FGFR2‐related (MIM# 614592), is a rare severe skeletal dysplasia characterized by craniofacial differences, reduced bone mineral density, and bowed long bones.

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Micromotional studies of utricular and canal afferents [PDF]

open access: yes
The long-range goal of this research was to refine our understanding of the sensitivity of the vestibular components of the ear to very-low-amplitude motion, especially, the role of gravity in this sensitivity.

Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Older Adults With Olfactory Dysfunction

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Poor vascular health has been associated with age‐related declines in sensory functions, including olfaction. The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that cerebral small vessel disease underlies poor olfactory function due to structural declines in brain regions that support olfaction.

Development of Artificial Intelligence for Quantitative Assessment of Nasal Inflammatory Cytology in Chronic Rhinitis by Whole‐Slide Images

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinitis (CR) is currently recognized as a syndrome that manifests in different phenotypes. We aimed to establish an artificial intelligence system (quantitative assessment of nasal inflammatory cytology, QANIC) on the basis of whole‐slide images (WSIs) to enable quantitative assessment of nasal inflammatory cells.

Cutting‐Edge Advancements in Physical Stimulation for Spiral Ganglion Neuron Protection and Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Physical stimulation strategies have emerged as a therapeutic avenue for the regeneration of spiral ganglion neurons. This review explores diverse physical stimulation modalities—including topographical modulation, electrical stimulation, and photostimulation—each operating through distinct mechanisms to regulate SGN biological behavior. By elucidating

Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly increased plastic waste through widespread personal protective equipment (PPE) use, creating a serious environmental challenge. Disposable face masks (FM), primarily composed of non‐biodegradable polypropylene, account for an estimated 86 million units discarded monthly, leading to significant environmental ...
