The Dynamics of Pharyngeal Shortening in Healthy Swallowing: Effects of Sex, Age, Bolus Volume and Consistency

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Pharyngeal shortening can be indexed by tracking the location of the upper oesophageal sphincter (white star) relative to the cervical spine, with segments numbered according to an extended VERT scale with three segments per vertebra and one segment for each intervertebral space from C7 to C2.

Cochlear Implantation in Autoimmune Inner‐Ear Disease: Outcome and Patient‐Reported Benefit

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3980-3989, September 2026.
This study demonstrates that patients with secondary autoimmune inner‐ear disease (AIED) achieve significant improvements in speech perception and quality of life following cochlear implantation. Although AIED patients may show slightly lower performance in noisy environments compared to controls, their subjective hearing benefit converges with matched

Toward a Typology of Patients With Head and Neck Cancer: Biopsychosocial Profiles Predicting Longitudinal Quality of Life

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 8, Page 2120-2134, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Quality of life (QoL) in head and neck cancer (HNC) is influenced by complex biopsychosocial factors, yet few longitudinal studies have examined these relationships immediately post‐treatment. Methods In this prospective study, 232 patients newly diagnosed with primary HNC completed psychometric assessments, clinical interviews, and

Attentional Bias During a Novel Alcohol Cue Virtual Reality Paradigm

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 50, Issue 8, August 2026.
Assessing attentional bias toward alcohol cues can be improved through utilization of more immersive stimuli, such as virtual reality. Here, severity of alcohol use was associated with greater alcohol‐related attentional bias, representing opportunity for further research on virtual reality‐based approaches.

Bilayer Resists for 193 nm Lithography: SSQ and POSS

Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology, 2006
Positive 193 nm bilayer resists based on polysilsesquioxanes (SSQ) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) are described. Fluoroalcohol is employed as an acid group. Our POSS materials are prepared by condensation of functional trialkoxysilane rather than by the commonly employed hydrosilylation on POSS and consist of T3 while the ...
