How I Do It: Nasoseptal Flap for Reconstruction of Isolated Soft Palate Defect
A vascularized nasoseptal flap (NSF) provides a novel transnasal option for repairing soft palatal fistulas when traditional transoral flaps have failed or are unavailable, potentially avoiding the morbidity of regional or free tissue transfer. In the current patient who had an 8 × 6 mm soft palatal fistula, the NSF was harvested from the septum and ...

Reference Equations for Peak Nasal Inspiratory and Expiratory Flow: A Cross‐Sectional Study
This study developed reference equations for peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) and peak nasal expiratory flow (PNEF) in clinically healthy adults using sex, height, and weight. PNIF demonstrated lower residual variability and more stable model performance than PNEF, supporting its potential as a complementary tool for individualized interpretation of ...

Invention of the Flexible Fiberoptic Nasopharyngolaryngoscope: Perspectives From the East
The fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscope was developed in 1967 by Drs. Masayuki Sawashima, Hajime Hirose, and Osamu Fujimura at the University of Tokyo's Research Institute of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (RILP), building on Dr. Shigeto Ikeda's 1962 fiberoptic bronchoscope during Japan's postwar surge in technological innovation.

Free Mucosal Grafting Is a Simple Adjunct for Rapid Re‐Epithelization in Septal Perforation Repair
In septal perforation repair, a free mucosal graft placed on the contralateral septum to the pedicled mucosal flap can resurface an area vulnerable to crusting and poor healing. Among 90 patients, 92.6% of grafts integrated completely when the perforation was successfully closed and complete perforation closure was the only independent predictor of ...

ABSTRACT Objective(s) Paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) reconstruction remains the gold standard for complex nasal defects, yet outcomes have not been comprehensively synthesized. We aimed to define flap survival, complication profiles, and reconstructive patterns through the largest systematic review and meta‐analysis of PMFFs to date.

COVID‐19 Amplifies Sex‐Specific Dopamine and Glial Responses in a Parkinson's Disease Mouse Model
Abstract Background Exposure to environmental agents, including viral infections, may increase Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility, especially in males, but the neurodegenerative risk extent of COVID‐19 remains uncertain. Objectives We investigated the plausible link between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection and

Accelerated MR Elastography Using Learned Neural Network Representation
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a deep‐learning method for achieving fast high‐resolution MR elastography from highly undersampled data without the need for high‐quality training datasets. Methods We first reframed the deep neural network representation as a nonlinear extension of the linear subspace model, then used it to represent and reconstruct MRE ...

Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

Abstract Background Gastrostomy tube placement is a common intervention for long‐term nutrition in people with dysphagia. Minimising complications such as tube dislodgement is integral in gastrostomy management, as unplanned replacements may require urgent care to prevent stoma closure.
