Food quality profile of fermented cassava dough: A tool for the value chain upgrading

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Agbelima is a fermented cassava mash, which is then cooked into dough. The key quality attributes are color, odor, stretchability, and sour taste. To succeed in upgrading agbelima value chain, there is a need to determine the instrumental parameters that predict the quality of consumer‐preferred attributes of the final product. This

Airway Involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle Syndrome: A Novel Clinical Manifestation

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We report the first documented case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome (CDPX2), an X‐linked dominant form of chondrodysplasia punctata caused by pathogenic variants in EBP. A 2‐month‐old female with genetically confirmed CDPX2 developed severe subglottic stenosis and persistent respiratory distress requiring CPAP; cross ...

The Association of Upper Airway Anatomy and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Response in OSA

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
CT‐derived measurements of tongue and craniofacial anatomy were evaluated in adults undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea. Relative tongue volume was not significantly associated with treatment response. Exploratory analyses suggest that other anatomic features such as hyoid positions or transverse maxillary dimensions ...

Patient‐Reported Outcomes of Palatopharyngeal Surgery Without Tonsillectomy: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Palatopharyngeal surgery without tonsillectomy leads to clinically meaningful improvements in daytime sleepiness and snoring, but patient‐reported outcomes vary markedly by surgical technique. Suture‐based procedures, muscle relocation, cold‐steel approaches, and powered instruments show the largest and durable benefits, with no evidence of effect ...
