Design and Development of Novel Airway Device for Transoral Respiratory Monitoring During Sedation
This article describes iterative design factors and results of clinical testing for a novel medical device that promotes transoral respiratory gas exchange for patients during sedation. A minimally viable prototype was 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane and demonstrated high levels of oral retention, gas exchange, and satisfaction among ...

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review
Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

Effect of Notch1 on Vocal Fold Re‐Epithelization After Acute Injury
Conditional deletion of Notch1 in Lrig1‐expressing vocal fold epithelial cells impaired re‐epithelialization following naphthalene injury, resulting in sustained basal cell proliferation, abnormal epithelial differentiation, and prolonged inflammatory cell infiltration.
