Quantifying Dehydration Effects of Porcine Vocal Fold Attenuation With Optical Coherence Tomography
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 8, Page 3519-3526, August 2026.The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize the effect of dehydration on the optical attenuation coefficient of porcine vocal fold (VF) tissue. The optical attenuation coefficient tissue decreased linearly with dehydration, dropping by approximately 0.08 mm−1 for every 1% increase in mass loss.

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

New 2010 Maule Aftershock Catalog Reveals Structure of the Deep Subduction Interface
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract On 27 February 2010, a Mw 8.8 earthquake occurred near Maule in south‐central Chile. The subsequent rapid deployment of a dense network of seismic stations on land was able to capture the first year of its aftershock sequence. Here, we revisit this data set using picking Artificial Intelligence tools, a 3D velocity model of the region and ...

Thermochemical Controls on the X, 410, and 660 Discontinuities in the Central Mediterranean
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The mantle beneath the Central Mediterranean is thermally and compositionally heterogeneous, as indicated by fragmented and locally stagnant slabs in tomographic images and HIMU‐like anorogenic magmatism. Mantle discontinuities are sensitive to both temperature and composition, and thus provide a way to quantify these heterogeneities.
