Use of Free Flaps in the Reconstruction of the Ventral Skull Base: A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesHead &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 8, Page 2261-2270, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Reconstruction of the ventral skull base represents a challenge in head and neck surgery. When local or regional flaps are insufficient, microvascular free flaps offer a reliable reconstructive option. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines to identify studies on ventral skull base ...

Surgical Treatment of Lateral Skull Base Tumors Extending to the Craniovertebral Junction

open access: yesHead &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 8, Page 2271-2280, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the clinical manifestation, surgical strategies, and long‐term outcomes of lateral skull base tumors extending to the craniovertebral junction (CVJ), with a focus on the infratemporal fossa approach (IFA) and individualized treatment options for cervical‐occipital stability.

Pre‐Infection COVID‐19 Vaccination and Long‐Term Cardiovascular Outcomes in Adults Without Preexisting Cardiovascular Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Long‐term cardiovascular complications after COVID‐19 are increasingly recognized, yet the protective effect of pre‐infection vaccination in individuals without prior cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. This study examined the association between COVID‐19 vaccination and major cardiovascular and related outcomes up to 3 ...

Necrotic Features in Post‐Radiation Nasopharyngeal Biopsies Associated With Carotid Blowout

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study characterizes two distinct histological patterns of post‐radiation nasopharyngeal necrosis—coagulative stromal necrosis (Type A) and microscopic osteoradionecrosis (Type B)—that are strongly associated with carotid blowout syndrome (CBS). Identifying these specific necrotic features in routine biopsies offers critical prognostic value beyond

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

open access: yesMedComm, 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 ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are dynamic regulators of tissue homeostasis and disease remodeling. In the healthy state, LECs coordinate interstitial fluid drainage, intestinal lipid transport, and immune trafficking and tolerance. Across disease settings, however, these same programs become maladaptively reprogrammed, contributing to barrier ...
