Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 10, Page 4575-4584, October 2026.We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 10, Page 4589-4595, October 2026.Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...

Perianesthetic Complications in Genetic Mitochondrial Disease: A Review of Case Reports
Pediatric Anesthesia, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 1217-1230, October 2026.ABSTRACT Background Genetic mitochondrial diseases (GMDs) are a large group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorders caused by defects in genes encoding mitochondrial components. GMDs are grouped into named syndromes based on clinical presentation, for example, Leigh syndrome (LS).

TGF‐β1 Directly Sensitizes Capsaicin‐Sensitive Lung Vagal Neurons to Promote Airway Hypersensitivity
Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) is a pleiotropic cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma. Airway hypersensitivity (AHS), arising from sensitization of capsaicin‐sensitive lung vagal (CSLV) afferents, is a hallmark of these airway diseases.

Postnatal developmental changes in the laryngeal chemosensory cell clusters of rats
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 769-786, October 2026.Chemosensory cell clusters appeared in the rat larynx 2 days after birth and were already connected to afferent nerve fibers. Their number increased until 3 weeks of age, then stabilized while continuing to grow through the addition of new cells. Because their number reached a plateau around the time of weaning, their development may be linked to ...
