Irreversible Electroporation for Inferior Turbinate Reduction Ablation in Adults

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Inferior turbinate hypertrophy is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction. An optimal surgical approach should provide effective volume reduction while preserving mucosal integrity and minimizing postoperative morbidity. Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for non‐thermal ablation ...

Patient‐Derived Fibroblasts as a Clinically Relevant Model of Kearns–Sayre Syndrome

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Kearns–Sayre syndrome (KSS) is characterized by single large‐scale mitochondrial DNA deletions and by severe early‐onset clinical manifestations with neurological involvement. Reliable disease models, as well as validated biomarkers or effective treatments, are lacking.

Biallelic PIGB Variants Cause Motor Neuropathy with Conduction Blocks and Peripheral Nerve Hyperexcitability

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchored proteins play critical roles in nervous system function. Pathogenic variants in genes involved in GPI‐anchor biosynthesis cause early‐onset multisystem disorders known as inherited GPI deficiencies. We describe a novel neuromuscular phenotype associated with PIGB deficiency.

SELENON-related myopathy as a cause of acute respiratory failure in middle age: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports
Background SELENON-related myopathy is a rare autosomal recessive congenital neuromuscular disorder linked to defects in the selenoprotein N. The clinical onset typically occurs in infancy and axial weakness, rigid spine, and respiratory involvement are ...

Astrocyte SMN Restoration and Forskolin Treatment Improve SMA Synaptic Pathology

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Early phenotypic presentation of central afferent synapse dysfunction within patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) represents a key target for therapeutic development; however, the underlying disease mechanisms remain unresolved. By further investigating motor neuron synapse and peri‐synaptic astrocyte process (PAP) defects in human SMA

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Editorial Commentary: Patients, Not Radiographs, Define Success After Surgical Treatment of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective radiographic measurements are attractive because they provide reproducible markers of surgical success. However, successful treatment of massive rotator cuff tears is not fully explained by postoperative imaging findings alone. Increasing evidence suggests that meaningful recovery reflects the interaction of structural restoration ...
