Advanced Science, EarlyView.Early childhood caries (ECC) involves cariogenic persisters that evade antimicrobial treatment. Persisters achieve this by downregulating heat shock proteins (HSPs) and formation of protein aggregates. Ti3C2 MXene‐based photothermal therapy (PTT) acts as a “nanothermal knife,” disrupting membranes, upregulating HSPs, inhibits aggregates, prevents ...

The Smile Index: Part 3. A Simple, Prognostic Severity Scale for Unilateral Cleft Palate
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021 Background:. Unilateral cleft palates have a large spectrum of variability. Key morphologic factors such as cleft width and palatal length are not represented in current classification systems.

A soft robotic tongue to develop solutions to manage swallowing disorders [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The development of novel texture adaptations for the management of swallowing disorders could be accelerated if reliable in vitro tests were made available. This study addresses some of the limitations of swallowing in vitro models, by introducing a soft robotic actuator inspired by the tongue.

A flexible multivariate random effects proportional odds model with application to adverse effects during radiation therapy [PDF]
, 2016 Radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer has a toxic effect on mucosa, the soft tissue in and around the mouth. Hence mucositis is a serious common side effect and is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the surface of the mucosa.

The “Kite-t-FAMMIF”: A Novel Technique for Reconstruction of Extensive Soft Palate Resection
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022 Summary:. Total soft palate reconstruction is a challenge for the head and neck surgeon. Velopharyngeal incompetence resulting from soft palate resection impairs both speech and swallowing and significantly affects the quality of life of the patients ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT NPR3‐related tall stature is characterized by tall stature, elongated big toes, and additional epiphyses in hand and foot bones. The condition is caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function variants affecting natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3). Five individuals from four different families have been reported.

Study of human phonation in a full body domain [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The Generation and propagation of the human voice is studied in two-dimensions using a full-body domain, using direct numerical simulation. The fluid/air in the vocal tract is modeled as a compressible and viscous fluid interacting with the non-linear, viscoelastic vocal folds (VF).

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genitopatellar syndrome (GPS) and Say‐Barber‐Biesecker‐Young‐Simpson Syndrome (SBBYSS) are clinically distinct neurodevelopmental disorders caused by monoallelic pathogenic variants in KAT6B. In some cases, GPS and SBBYSS features can overlap, determining an intermediate phenotype.
