Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

ABSTRACT Percutaneous transaxillary access is an established alternative to transfemoral large‐bore arterial access for transcatheter structural heart interventions and mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Although useful for overcoming hostile iliofemoral anatomy and providing prolonged support and patient mobilization in case of MCS, the axillary ...

Soaking Water Management Strategies for Enhanced Quality of Parboiled Rice
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Parboiling is a hydrothermal process that alters rice physicochemical and nutritional properties. The soaking step is crucial, influencing off‐flavor formation, mineral retention, and effluent quality. This study evaluated five soaking water (SW) management strategies combining different frequencies and volumes of SW ...
