Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Timing in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 133, Issue 1, Page 109-115, January 2023., 2023
Objective To examine outcomes and complications in patients receiving a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube on the same day of head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery versus later in hospitalization. Methods The 2003–2014 Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried for patients undergoing ablative HNC procedures who had a PEG tube placed.

Special Robotic Stylet for Assisting Endotracheal Intubation Based on Multisegment Continuum Mechanism

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A robotic stylet is proposed based on a multisegment continuum mechanism for specialized assisting endotracheal intubation. Its geometric parameters are designed based on medical images and kinematic is derived. A prototype is fabricated, and its kinematics and application are experimentally verified. These robotic systems can improve accurate, secure,

Transcriptional suppression of microRNA-27a contributes to laryngeal cancer differentiation via GSK-3β-involved Wnt/β-catenin pathway

open access: yesOncoTarget, 2017
miR-27a regulates cell differentiation in a variety of diseases. However, whether and how miR-27a participates in laryngeal cancer cell differentiation remains unknown.

Children With 22.Q.11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Sleep‐Disordered Breathing and Management

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) are predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to an abnormal craniofacial anatomy with pharyngeal hypotonia, retrognathia, micrognathia, and glossoptosis. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and management of OSA in a cohort of children with 22q11DS.

KMT2B-related disorders: expansion of the phenotypic spectrum and long-term efficacy of deep brain stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesBrain. 2020 Dec 5;143(11):3242-3261
Heterozygous mutations in KMT2B are associated with an early-onset, progressive, and often complex dystonia (DYT28). Key characteristics of typical disease include focal motor features at disease presentation, evolving through a caudocranial pattern into generalized dystonia, with prominent oromandibular, laryngeal, and cervical involvement.

Vocal wow in an adapted reflex resonance model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Vocal wow is a slow 0.2 - 3 Hz modulation of the voice that may be distinguished from the 4 - 7 Hz modulation of tremor or vibrato. We use a simple model of laryngeal muscle activation, mediated by time-delayed auditory feedback, to show that wow may arise due to Andronov-Hopf bifurcation.

Case-control studies for rare diseases: improved estimation of several risks and of feature dependences [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
To capture the dependences of a disease on several risk factors, a challenge is to combine model-based estimation with evidence-based arguments. Standard case-control methods allow estimation of the dependences of a rare disease on several regressors via logistic regressions.
