Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

ABSTRACT A 64‑year‑old man with a Non–ST‑elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) underwent coronary angiography, which revealed single‑vessel disease with a high‑grade proximal and a severely calcified mid‑LAD lesion just proximal to a diagonal branch (DB). Both the LAD and the DB were wired.

Impaired Flow and Physiology in Coronaries With Anomalous Origin From the Opposite Sinus of Valsalva
ABSTRACT Background Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery (AAOCA) high‐risk anatomical features (intramural segment, acute take‐off angle, slit‐like ostium) cause coronary stenosis leading to myocardial infarction. How these features alter coronary physiology remains unclear.
