Effects of oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation on the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base in minipigs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoglossal nerve or tongue protruding muscle stimulation is a current treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, the present study analyzed 3D deformations of the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base upon oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The 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.

Toward European harmonization of national myasthenia gravis registries: modified Delphi procedure-based expert consensus on collectable data

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disorder. Several new treatment concepts have emerged in recent years, but access to these treatments varies due to differing national reimbursement regulations, leading to disparities across Europe.

The Spanish Version of the Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool Is a Reliable, Valid, Precise, and Highly Responsive Instrument for Patients With Meniscal Pathology at a Minimum 6‐Month Follow‐Up

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) into Peninsular Spanish and to evaluate its psychometric properties (reliability, validity, precision, and responsiveness) in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy for meniscal pathology. Methods This retrospective study with prospectively collected

Menopausal Hormone Therapy Decreases the Odds of Developing Soft‐Tissue Disorders of the Shoulder in Perimenopausal Women

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To determine whether perimenopausal women receiving menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) have decreased odds of developing soft‐tissue shoulder disorders compared with women without an active MHT prescription, specifically adhesive capsulitis, bursitis, bicipital tendinitis, calcific tendinitis, atraumatic rotator cuff tear/rupture, and shoulder ...

The Role of IgM Anti‐acetylated Protein Antibodies and B Cells in the Origin of Antimodified Protein Autoimmunity in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPAs), including anti‐citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated protein antibodies (AAPA). In contrast to other AMPAs, AAPA IgM is found in healthy individuals, raising questions about its role ...

Early Synovial Regulatory T Cell Engagement in Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) develops despite restoration of joint biomechanics, suggesting that early postinjury biologic processes within the synovium shape disease trajectories. We investigated whether synovial Treg cells are engaged during the early phase following joint injury and whether experimental enrichment of this ...

Evaluating discrepancies between high‐yield neuroscience conditions in preclerkship medical education and national clinical incidence

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Medical education must balance foundational science with clinical relevance. Increasing emphasis on standardized assessments has led to prioritization of “high‐yield” conditions—those most likely to be assessed. Subsequently, educators and students often prioritize these conditions.
